Last week our website and e-mail server suffered a meltdown. Apparently a capacitor blew up and caused a fire which resulted in our website crashing and us not being able to receive or send e-mails at our ACE accounts.

Glad to say all is now better.

Speak again soon.

Ayrshire Country Events were at The Hillhouse Golf Lodge recently as part of a fam day with Visit Scotland.

A group of corporate entertainment and accommodation buyers from Britain, Ireland and France were given a flavour of the types of activities that Ayrshire Country Events have to offer. Our display included quad bikes, 4 x 4, archery and shooting.

Everyone had a great day and many valuable contacts were made.

Thanks go to Andrew Vernon of The Hillhouse Golf Lodge who provided a fabulous lunch for us all and Caroline Smith of VisitScotland who organised the event.

A group of Data Centre Managers from British Telecom had a great day corporate day out and a valuable team building session with Ayrshire Country Events.

The group participated in blindfold 4 x 4, clay pigeon shooting, rifle shooting, archery the assault course and bungee slide.

Steve Gauge of BT said ” we had a brilliant time”.

We have been busy up-grading and replacing some of our equipment. This week we received:-

• new tyres for two of our quad bikes
• a new trap for the clay pigeon shooting
• new arrows for the archery
• new mud plugger tyres for the 4×4

How in this day and age when you can buy a DVD for £19 does it cost £25 for 6 arrows!!!

Lots more to talk about soon.

See Ya

On Thursday 28th Feb Ayrshire Country Events attended The Main Event, an exhibition for organisers of corporate activity days, reward days, team building and client hospitality events.

The day was a great success with many companies, hotels and large event organisers showing a strong interest in our outdoor activities.

Special interest was expressed for the quad bikes, 4×4 driving, clay pigeon shooting and the archery.

We look forward to working with the friends we made on the day so look here again for future events.
