Organised by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Singleton Volunteer Support Group as an annual fundraising event the A-Plus Contracting Hunter Valley Mining Charity Rugby League Knockout Competition has grown to become a premier charity rugby league competition held in the New South Wales, Hunter Valley region.
The charity competition brings together over 350 coal mining employees from throughout the Hunter Valley and beyond to represent their respective mine sites. Each team compete in a 10's style competition until one team is crowned champions and presented with the Charity Shield. The day also includes a 'Women In Mining' series within the days program.
Apart from what is ‘state of origin’ worthy rugby league action, there is always plenty of excitement, entertainment and fun for all spectators including young fans with jumping castles, amusement rides, face painting and giveaways throughout the day. The event is this perfect for the family or a social get together with friends to enjoy plenty of action and entertainment.
Since 2014 the event has raised $292,000 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service to ensure that no one assisted has to every pay for the Service.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service
Since 1975 no one has ever had to pay to be assisted by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. That is because the people in our community believe that a dedicated and professional aeromedical service is a vital part of our region.
Today, the Service is there for 1.5 million people throughout Northern NSW. Our region stretches north from the Hawkesbury River to the Queensland border, and we are approaching 2,000 life saving missions each year. The Service responds to a diverse range of community needs, from people injured on the roads, farms, workplaces, sporting fields, in the ocean, at the beach and in the bush. The Service also completes hundreds of inter-hospital transfers each year for specialist care.
Along with the Pilots and Aircrew, every primary response mission today leaves with a dedicated NSW Ambulance Paramedic and NSW Health Doctor on board. Together, the highly trained Rescue Helicopter team is working to ensure the highest standard of care is provided for every patient at the scene of their accident.
Every dollar raised will help to ensure that the Rescue Helicopter is ready to respond 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with no one ever having to pay to be assisted.
