Billingshurst & District Lions Club (April 2025)
Lions Charity Golf Day 25 In Support Of SERV
SERV stands for ‘Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers’,
the Charity chosen by Billingshurst & District Lions Club President,
Paul Roberts, as the beneficiary from this year’s Charity Golf Day,
at Slinfold Golf and Country Club on Friday, 30th May 2025.
SERV, often known as “The Blood Runners”,
is a registered charity, formed in 1981,
providing a prompt and reliable means of transporting
urgent blood products, X-rays, patient notes,
time-critical laboratory samples and test results
between hospitals and other medical facilities for the NHS across Sussex.
The service is provided free of charge,
365 days a year between 7.00pm and 6.00am, Monday to Friday,
and 24 hours during weekends and Bank Holidays.
Special requests can also be considered.
This allows hospitals to focus resources on patient care and reduce transport costs.
SERV Sussex has no paid officers;
volunteers, men and women, from 21 to over 70,
who come from all walks of life, give their time free,
use private vehicles and pay for all fuel and running costs.
The operation needs to raise £20,000 every year
and is entirely dependant on donations.
Entries for the Golf Day are invited from teams of four,
male, female or mixed.
Stableford scoring will apply using full Course Handicap.
Lions Golf Days represent excellent value,
with entry fees including a pre-round bacon roll and coffee,
18 holes of golf, returning for a two course lunch and coffee.
Raffle tickets will be on sale before the golf and prizes drawn during play.
There will be an Auction of a number of valuable items
at some stage
during the meal.
Prizes will be awarded for the best team scores,
(2 scores to count on each hole) and special prizes on selected holes.
To enter, all details, together with an entry form for teams to complete online, can be found on our websitebillingshurstlions.orgwhere you can also find other information about Billingshurst Lions activities, including a schedule of donations the Club made during 2024.
