The Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Service has postponed its annual Golf Tournament, as heavy rain is predicted in the Bay over the next few days.
The tournament, which is held annually at the Hill Country Estate Golf Course in Havelock North, was scheduled to take place on Friday will now take place on Friday 31 March.
Marketing and Fundraising Manager, Laura Hyde, said, "Sadly the weather wasn't looking good for the event, and at the end of the day, while this is an important fundraiser for us, we have to bear in mind the safety and enjoyment of our guests - hence the decision to postpone"
The Golf Tournament is now in its 6th year, and sees local businesses compete for the coveted Rescue Helicopter Golf Trophy, which is currently held by 2016 defenders, First New Zealand Capital. The tournament is hosted by Lowe Corporation, and is sponsored by Ka Tahi Wines and ANZ, and is an important fundraising event for the Trust.
Any teams interested in taking part in the rescheduled date on 31st March can contact Laura on 06 878 1630 or email mfm@hbhrt.org.nz
