Chris Dowthwaite's Memorial Golf Day - Friday 5th September 2025
Raising for Dreamflight
Event date:
On 5th September 2025, we’ll be gathering at Aspley Guise & Woburn Sands Golf Club to honour the memory of Christopher Paul Dowthwaite.
This special event marks the first anniversary of Chris’s passing and celebrates his legacy with a day of golf, friendship, and fundraising. Chris was a passionate supporter of Dreamflight, a charity that was close to his heart during his time as Captain of Quainton Golf Society. In his honour, £20 per player will be donated to Dreamflight, and we’ll be holding a raffle to raise even more for this incredible cause.
Even if you can’t join us on the day, you can still be part of something meaningful.
Your donation to Dreamflight will help create life-changing experiences for children with serious illnesses or disabilities - giving them the chance to enjoy new adventures, grow in independence, and make unforgettable memories.
Dreamflight is a UK charity that gives children with serious illnesses or disabilities the chance to experience the holiday of a lifetime. From magical trips to Orlando to UK-based adventures, Dreamflight helps children build resilience, independence, and joy through extraordinary experiences.
Every penny helps Dreamflight take off.
Thank you for being part of the journey. 💙

About us
Dreamflight
Charity number: 1117303
Some experiences don’t just make memories. They change the way you see the world. The way you see yourself, see others, and see what might be possible.
Dreamflight takes children with a significant health condition or disability on the trip of a lifetime – to the magic of Orlando, or closer to home on a UK adventure. But the journey is about far more than the destination.
It’s a collection of powerful moments – overcoming fears, gaining independence, forming friendships, and discovering abilities they may have
once thought were out of reach. And done on their own, perhaps for the very first time. It’s the realisation that they can. And they could. And there’s so much more to discover.
For young people, families, volunteers, and everyone part of the Dreamflight family, these moments add up to something lasting. A way of seeing the world that is full of possibility. Perspectives that move from problems to potential, from limitations to opportunity. It’s a unique, irreplaceable experience – designed with expertise, delivered with love, and with impact that lasts a lifetime.
Because this isn’t just a trip. It’s just the beginning of what’s possible.

Quainton Golf Society
£2,093.00
Chris was a keen and active member of Quainton Golf Society for many years prior to his sad passing. In recognition of that, this year's Society Captain chose Chris's favourite charity, Dreamflight, to receive the amounts collected from members during the year in the way of fines and other charity contributions. The fantastic amount collected reflects the membership's fond memories of Chris during his many appearances at our golf days. He is sadly missed.
