MORE golfers are needed for a fundraising tournament in aid of charity.

Macmillan Cancer Relief is trying to raise £600,000 to improve services for cancer patients in County Durham.

While 20 teams have signed up for the September 12 event, at least another ten teams are needed to ensure it goes with a swing.

The tournament is at Brancepeth Castle Golf Club, near Durham, which is said to be one of the most picturesque courses in the North-East.

Teams of four are needed, and pairs will be matched with other pairs of similar ability.

The handicap limit is 20 for men and 30 for women, and certificates will be required as proof.

The entry fee for each team is £120 - £30 per person - and includes a buffet.

For an entry form ring the Macmillan appeal office on 0191-378 1188.
