Adastral Park Leisure and Sports (AtLAS)

AtLAS is an organisation representing all aspects of social and sporting activities at Adastral Park.  By grouping together all the different clubs we are able to work with BT and other organisations on behalf of the clubs and manage a number of site-wide facilities.
The aim of the organisation is to support and encourage sporting and leisure opportunities to all employees at, or associated with, Adastral Park.

AtLAS is run by a voluntary executive committee:

  • Chairman – Adrian Butcher
  • Vice Chairman – Carl Chittock
  • Treasurer – Ian Read
  • AtLAS Support Service – Darren Barnes

Fitness Studio

We have a purpose built, fully air conditioned Fitness Studio at BodyTalk Gym with an extensive class timetable - Find out more.

History

  • Originally formed when Post Office Research Station was at Dollis Hill, London and known as the Research Social Club (RSC).
  • When PO Research moved to Martlesham Heath (late 1970s) the name changed to Research Sports and Social Club (RSSC)
  • When Martlesham Heath began to encourage other companies to join the park, the name changed to Adastral Park Leisure and Sports (AtLAS)
