BASINGSTOKE Golf Club will be teaming up with The Prostate Cancer Support Group (PCaSO) to encourage men to take a free blood test.

The event will be held at the club's home in Dummer on Down Street later this year on Saturday, May 13 ad will offer men a PSA blood test.

The test is able to measure the amount of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. PSA is a protein produced by normal cells in the prostate and also by prostate cancer cells.

PCaSO is a charity which does not charge for tests with results returned from an NHS laboratory usually under 10 days but contributions are welcome.
