Corporate Entertainment with Glenapp Castle
A group of top Rolls Royce sales executives from America arrived in style at the stunning Glenapp Castle, touching down in four luxury helicopters to enjoy a morning of Corporate Entertainment in the shape of the traditional Scottish Highland Games.
Event Management specialists Team Challenge Company laid on a Mini Highland Games morning for the group, which was divided into 2 'Clans' before the Corporate Entertainment began. Greg captained the MacMillions team, as Christian lead the ever so imaginatively named MacChristians!!!
Just as the Corporate Entertainment kicked off, Cheryl got the Clans fired up with her glorious demonstrations of the Hoopla. Though not technically a traditional Scottish Highland Game, Cheryl's performance was so extraordinary that we felt it only fair to award her a few bonus points!
The Clans donned their tartan kilts and jimmy wigs in anticipation for the first Mini Highland Games event - The Caber Toss. It was a hard fought battle, with the lead swinging on more than one occaision, but a final almighty hurl saw the MacMillions come out on top by just a solitary point.
The Corporate Entertainment then moved on to a real test of strength and endurance, the Stone Lift. Massive performances were put in by both teams, with Lindsey in particular impressing everyone with her Stone Lifting ability. Some have said it was the shopping trip promised to her by Lenal shoudl she win that inpsired Lindsey to such a great score!!!
The scores remained tight throughout the morning of Corporate Entertainment, nobody could guess on which Clan would walk away victorious. The Axe Throwing went down a storm with both Clans, and the accuracy of many of the competitors was quite pheonomenal throughout. A perfect mix technique, balance and skill proved the winning formula, as many competitors mastered the difficult activity.
It was soon time for the final activity of the Corporate Entertainment morning, and it would all come down to which Clan could work together to overpower the other in the grande finale - the Tug O' War. The tension was high and the atmosphere electric as both Clans took the strain over 3 legs, with Clan MacChristians clawing back to earn themselves a 2-1 victory, the championship, and of couorse, the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy.
A fantastic morning of Corporate Entertainment was enjoyed by the entire group, who were magnificent fun to work with throughout the event. As they embarked on their afternoon golfing and fishing trips, we bid the Clans farewell and wished them an enjoyable stay in Bonnie Scotland.
