A CHARITY is holding a golf day to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

The Chester-le-Street and District Voluntary Welfare Committee will stage the event, at the Southmoor Golf Club, near Stanley, on Thursday, June 9.

The competition is open to both sexes and is a team of four event. The £160 cost includes refreshments, 18 holes of golf and a two-course meal with the prize giving.

The welfare committee runs Welcome Visitors - volunteers who visit elderly and disabled people. It also runs a welfare alarm scheme, enabling people to be linked to the local authority Careline scheme and a welfare bus.

For details, call Norma Menzies from 9.30am to 1pm on weekdays on 0191-387 1044.
