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

Dreamflight is dedicated to transforming the lives of children with serious illnesses or disabilities. Through magical adventures, we empower them to build confidence, forge friendships, and discover possibilities beyond their challenges. Every trip, whether it's to Orlando’s theme parks or closer to home, creates unforgettable moments that inspire independence and joy. Together, we can turn dreams into life-changing realities.

To do this, however, we need to raise over £1.6m each year.

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.
