The Alliance Against IP Theft 12th Anniversary Golf Tournament, in competition for the ERA Trophy, will be staged on Thursday 17th July 2008 at the Foxhills resort in Surrey.

Guests arrive at 9.30am for registration and brunch and spend an exhilarating day at "one of the best resorts in Britain" (The Independent). Seasoned golfers play from 11.30am, in teams of four, on the world famous 18 hole Bernard Hunt course, which is a favourite choice for Ryder Cup champions past & present; while Leisure Day guests can choose from an array of activities ranging from learning to play golf to Laser Clay shooting, tennis, squash or just relaxing in the new five-star spa facilities.

At the end of the day everyone assembles in the Clubhouse for drinks - ideal for networking or simply catching up with old colleagues - followed by a traditional four-course dinner. Guests can expect a great evening's entertainment. Ex-Ryder Cup golfers Peter Baker and Paul Way will be doing a Q & A, there will also be the coveted trophy presentations and memorabilia auction.
