We are very sorry to say that due to a mechanical engine fault with the helicopter, we are having to postpone the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop which was scheduled for this Wednesday.

As you can appreciate, we are disappointed that we are unable to bring this amazing spectacle to you this week. However, just to reassure you, this is a “postponement” NOT a “cancellation”. We are working with Saunton Golf Club and the pilot to get a new date in the diary as soon as we can.

For those of you who purchased a ball, your chance to win £1,000 is still there and we would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all the patients and family members that we have the privilege to care for, to say thank you for your support.

We will communicate the date of the new Helicopter Golf Ball Drop very soon!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This is a draw with a difference! Buy a ticket online now, and your ticket number will be written onto a golf ball and placed into our giant helicopter bucket. At 6pm on Wednesday 31st July, our helicopter will fly over Saunton Golf Club's 18th hole, dropping all the balls onto the green! Whoever's ball is in the hole (or closest to the hole) will WIN £1,000 CASH!

CHECK OUT LAST YEAR'S AWESOME EVENT:

CAN I BUY A TICKET OVER THE PHONE?

Of course! Simply call our Fundraising Team on 01271 347232 during normal business hours. Tickets must be purchased in advance and you must be over 18 to play.

HOW DOES THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Imagine the elation when your ball is the one to emerge victorious, having plunged its way straight into the 18th hole! That is a hole-in-one story that you can dine out on for years to come! The £1,000 prize will be an incredible boon for you, but every ticket sold will also help provide vital care to local people in their time of need.

North Devon Hospice are caring for more people than ever, but donations have declined dramatically. To make sure we can support all those who need our vital care, as they face an illness like cancer, your support is needed now. So, call us today to buy a ticket and give yourself a shot. Even if your ball ends up in the rough, you will have played your part to be a shining light for those facing dark times. Thank you. 

With special thanks for our headline sponsor Hatchmoor Nursing Home and supporters AH Helicopters, Titleist and of course, Saunton Golf Club for their ongoing support of North Devon Hospice.

North Devon Hospice reserves the right to change the date of the event due to inclement weather or other factors beyond our control, without prior notification. This is to ensure the full safety of our helicopter pilot and all event attendees.
