G & S St Andrews investing for the future

Gordon(right) receiving the keys from Brian Ralston, Park's Renault.

G & S St Andrews have just taken delivery of a new Renault Trafic 8 seat vehicle. This at a time when most companies are maintaining an aging fleet.

Gordon decided that with the summer fast approaching that we needed to strengthen our fleet for our golf parties and sight-seeing groups, and there was only one vehicle in the frame.

The Renault Trafic is modern, light and extremely roomy inside. The windows are large and tinted so giving very good sightseeing visibility, while keeping the passengers cool.

We have had our silver Renault Trafic since the company was started 3 years ago and that car has never let us down, so the choice was obvious.
The car will seat 8 passengers and can carry luggage for all.





There has to be a big "Thank you" to the staff at Park's Renault in Dunfermline (and Kirkcaldy), for the support they have shown us in the past 3 years, and I am sure for many years to come.

Golf Transport in Scotland

3 months on....



I cannot believe it is 3 month since the Toronto Golf and Travel Show, and we are into the Summer already. You may already have decided to come to Scotland for your summer vacation, but have you thought about transport?

Maybe you are thinking of self drive, maybe you fancy trying public transport, but this is YOUR vacation.

A time where you should be relaxing and enjoying the golf courses, not driving on unfamiliar roads, and on the opposite side of the road too. Also public transport outside of the main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow is not bad, but can take twice as long to get from A to B.

Why not email Gordon, and have us organise your travel plans. Meeting you at the airport on your arrival, transfering you to your hotel, then out to some of the best golf courses in the world.
All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the magnificent scenery, sample our great golf course and eat and drink till your hearts content

Toronto Golf & Travel Show 2009

Ever thought of pushing your business forward? Marketing and advertising to a new market far far away? I have, and we at G & S St Andrews are!!!

We are off to Toronto next Sunday 22nd Feb, but even though this should have been a simple affair for us, the WORK we have had to put in to it!!
I thought when I booked the stand then it would just be a case of book flights, hotel, and turn up, hehehe, I was wrong!!!

Dont get me wrong the preperation has been fun, but trying to keep a business running smoothly and donate time to the show, has meant long and late hours on the laptop.

We have also enlisted the services of Donald Morton at Golf Around Scotland, Gilles and Hamish at St Andrews Golf Co. These companies are going to be on the stand with us (stand 1719), so that we have a more rounded package to offer all those golfers and non golfers who want to sample the delights of coming to Scotland in this, the Homecoming year.

What is the Homecoming year?

Homecoming Scotland 2009 is an events programme celebrating Scotland's great contributions to the world. In 2009 join us to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth, Scottish contributions to golf & whisky, plus our great minds and innovations and rich culture and heritage.

What better reason for Scots and Scots decendants to come home and sample what Scotland has to offer, and visit the places that are part of your own history and make up.

So what are we offering at the Toronto Golf and Travel Show 2009? Well, we offer transport options. We offer you the chance to fully enjoy your vacation, play the fantastic golf courses, see the scenery, visit castles and whisky distilleries without having to rely on public transport or renting a car. You just sit back and let us do the driving. No stress, no worries.

So to go back to where we are now, stand booked, flights booked, hotels booked (and what a hotel!!!! Westin Castle) Kilt bought and paid for, yes its cold in Toronto, just now -7C, but the things we do to market the business.

So i am now off to grab a sandwich and a cup of tea, but i am so looking forward to that first coffee at Tim Hortons when we get into Pearson Airport!!

till next time,

Gordon
