GOLFERS from across the district tee-off next week to help raise cash for equipment for the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

Richmond Rotary Club's third annual tournament next Friday aims to bring in enough to cover the costs of an infusion pump, urgently needed by the hospital's cancer unit.

Entries are well up, despite concern over the impact of foot-and-mouth disease.

Sponsors of this year's event include the Co-op, garage owners Simon Bailes and SG Petch, solicitors Hodgson and Mortimer, financial advisor Jon-athan Fry and Barrons Caravans of Burtree.
