Golf Day 2027

Tee off for AT Golf Day 2027

Join the AT Society for the 2027 fundraising Golf Day at the prestigious John O’Gaunt Golf Club on Wednesday 21st April, a club with a wonderfully British feel and design. The 6,535 yard course is lined with a beautiful variety of mature trees and is consistently recognised as the “best track in the county”. The course stretches out across the gently undulating Bedfordshire landscape; however, its beauty can be deceptive, and it is often described as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing!”.

A 10.00am shotgun start, delicious breakfast roll and hot buffet lunch will all served in the beautiful Victorian-era but contemporary clubhouse. Prizes, on-course competitions and an auction are in store for those taking part.

Places are £500 per 4 ball entry and by taking part you will be supporting the AT Society – the only charity in the UK supporting children and young adults with the life limiting genetic condition of ataxia telangiectasia (AT). Please reserve your 4 ball by emailing [email protected].

Corporate sponsorship packages to be the main Event Sponsor, on course competition sponsor or to sponsor a golf hole are available on request by emailing [email protected].

We look forward to welcoming you to the 5th Tee off for AT Golf Day on Wednesday 21st April 2027!

3 Peaks Challenge

AT Society 3 Peaks Challenge

The 3 Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales, often within 24 hours. The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft).

The event will be run by Maximum Adventure, experts in adventure travel and experienced in running and organising the 3 Peaks Challenge. Booking is now open via the AT Society link below. Registration closes on Friday 8th May.

The AT Society 3 Peaks Challenge

There will be a specialist, qualified mountain leader for each group of 8 people, as well as a dedicated driver. If you book as a group of friends, please email [email protected] with the names of those in your team and Sally will ensure you are grouped together.

Participants will pay just £99 per person and must fundraise a minimum of £800 per head.

This is a tough event and those participating should have the necessary fitness and be prepared to do without sleep! The aim is to complete the event in 24 hours. To do this, Ben Nevis should be completed in 5 hours, Scafell Pike in 4 hours and Snowdon in 4 hours, although this will depend on the pace of the group. The standard for measuring your official total time on the event is mountain time plus a fixed 10-hour drive time.

Information about event inclusions and exclusions, travel to and from the start and finish of the event, fitness requirements and the environmental responsibility of the challenge can be found on the booking link above.

Fundraising Commitment

By registering for this event, you are committing to raise a minimum of £800 in sponsorship to directly support the vital work of the AT Society. This fundraising target is a mandatory requirement for participation in the challenge.

Once you have paid your deposit and reached the £800 fundraising minimum, the AT Society will cover the remaining cost of your 3 Peaks Challenge place. By registering for the challenge, you are committing to raise this amount and take responsibility for fulfilling your fundraising pledge in support of the AT Society’s vital work.

Once you have booked your place directly with Maximum Adventure, please email [email protected] to let her know you’ve joined the A-Team. From there, we’ll support you every step of the way with fundraising advice, encouragement and motivation, and we’ll also send you an AT Society branded t-shirt to wear on the day.

We recommend booking as soon as possible!

Before booking, it is important that you read through the quick facts and details on the booking page.

Katie and Teresa, thank you for representing the AT Society so brilliantly and for making such a meaningful difference.

Thank You to Our Amazing Volunteers

We also want to give a massive shout-out to our wonderful team of volunteers who supported us throughout the day.

Your kindness, positivity and teamwork helped create a fantastic atmosphere for everyone involved. Whether you were cheering from the sidelines, supporting runners or helping at our refreshment point, your contribution was invaluable.

Looking Ahead

The St Albans Half Marathon once again showed the power of community, bringing together runners, volunteers and supporters to raise awareness and vital funds for the AT Society.

If you’ve been inspired by Katie and Teresa and would like to run for the AT Society at next years event which is on Sunday 13^th June, we’d love to hear from you.
