In what will be its 10th year, the event has raised vital funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service estimated to be more than $70,000.

The event, previously held at Cessnock City Bowling Club, has a new home this year, East Cessnock Bowling Club.

The game is for teams of four and the winners take home a keg of beer they can enjoy when it suits.

The cost is $75 per team and this includes green fees and a barbecue lunch. Other activities on the day include a charity auction and raffles with more than 100 prizes.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Cessnock Support Group organizes the day and is urging people to form a team and support the event.

Teams can be booked in by phoning 4990 2725.
