It was a pleasure to welcome Banks Sandler on their Scottish Familiarisation trip in conjunction with the opulent Fairmont St Andrews.
The weather was like a fine Scottish summer day but as a precaution for sunburn, we chose to take this great group inside for a morning of fun and hilarity. They were split into 3 teams to go head to head against each other at the ever so funny Boomwahckers and the testing activity Team Building challenge Bridge Build. The named themselves the mighty Larag, The Bru and The Heathers.
The teams split up around the Hotel working together to get a well rehearsed tune in 20 minutes or crash on stage when it came to the show. The Heathers were showing great potential with their leader Rebecca showing them the way with a great tune of ......... anyone can fall in love la la la. I think it was meant to be Eastenders lol. Then stepped up the mighty larag who struck gold with a fantastic rendition of London's burning which was a valiant effort, if I say so myself. The The Bru were on with a tune I have never heard before but in the end they said it was Eastenders . I think the score master needs his ears cleaned or they bribed him with Red Bull and Shortbread but in the end The Larag took full points.
Then we moved onto the finale of Team Building challenge Bridge Build which was a tense and nail biting situation with points so close it was still going to be anyone's game apart from The Bru team as their bridge was a shocker next time leave James out haha ! But in the end we had great success with 2 team getting little Tom Cruise across the bridge safely well done The Heathers and The Larag. The team gathered for the presentation of the Team Challenge Trophy which went to the ever impressive The Larag with maximum 3000 points and in 2nd place The Heather with 2800 points and pulling up the rear.
We hope you enjoyed your stay at the Fairmont St Andrew and we look forward to seeing you at your next event.
