One of the event organisers David Oliver said he had been blown away by the response to the day, saying it “had grown 10-fold” since its launch.
“We’ve got more than 25 teams, it’s growing every year,” Mr Oliver said.
The group will also have a number of silent auctions, raffles and some competitions on the day with all proceeds from the event going to the children’s ward of the Bega Hospital.
“It would be great to get some stuff in there to make the stay for the kids a bit more comfortable,” Mr Oliver said.
He said any purchases would be left entirely up to management, as the day was just about recognising emergency services staff and supporting the kids.
“The first year it was won by the NSW Ambulance boys, so the Police and Fire Brigades will be looking to take it off them this year.”
Teams will compete over 18-holes in a four-ball ambrose, with the winners walking away with bragging rights on the day.
Play is only open to emergency services staff, but members of the public are welcome to join in for presentations and the raffles from about 2pm.
