  1. Hi Redz, I am an ABTA registered travel agent and golf tour operator, I am currently putting together packages for next years Masters. feel free to give me a call on 07803753554 or email neil@saltireexecutivegolf.com
  2. Hi Starsky, my company supplies golf trips to Spain/Portugal. Everything is arranged for you including transfers to/from golf courses My company is Saltire Executive Golf You can email me if you wish neil@saltireexecutivegolf.com or call me on 07803753554 Happy to help
  3. It has been confirmed the school is providing transport from the Corinthia Hotel,to their location.It seats 8 so can everyone wishing to attend the donation confirm how they wish to get to the school. If there are more than 8 we will organise a taxi to follow and split the fare amongst everyone. I can be contacted on 07803753554 or neil@saltireexecutivegolf.com
  4. No Worries you both are more than welvome to come along. I am staying in the Corinthia Hotel City centre, some of us will be sharing transport from there at 10.15 am on the Wednesday. Let me know if you wish to come to our Hotel or make your own way to the school for 11amThe address of the school is Pink Cocodile o.p.s Vezenska 116/5 110 00 Prague 1.
  5. The presentation will take place at the school 11am Wednesday 23rd March, Unfortunately the school closes for Easter Holidays then so can't visit on the Thursday. Anyone interested in attending please let me know. I can be contacted here or at neil@saltireexecutivegolf.com We have Dougie Wotherspoon confirmed as a piper on the day. Carrick Lad, it would be difficult to organise flags for all recipient charities, but a good suggestion!!! Scott, send me an email, you would be more than welcome to attend the presentation as a local. Once we have the numbers wishing to attend, we can maybe arrange transport from the city centre
  6. The Steering group of the Sunshine Appeal have pleasure in naming the recipient charity in Prague for our 56th Consecutive Donation. www.pink-crocodile.org Please see below for some further information. Pink Crocodile is a charity supporting children with special needs in Czech Republic and India. Both projects are run separately and have different sponsors. In Czech republic we specifically support a community of server complex needs children and their families who receive little or no help from the state. After having offered for over a decade a once-a-week education and therapy programme for these children, we established a full-time school to accommodate the kids long-term and give the parents, who would often have to stay home with the children an opportunity to work. The Czech school system has still a shortfall of education possibilities for these children and supports schools like ours with insufficient funds. We are a special Kindergarten and Elementary school registered by the state, however we are run privately, so we can add additional staff and services for our children and ensure their best possible education and development. Currently state funding covers only 30% of our cost (and this is the maximum the school could get and should be able to survive on such a low budget – crazy) so that we have to make up the shortfall through minimal tuition fees (ca. 10%) and the remaining part through donations (60%). In Czech Republic raising funds is really hard work, as the culture of giving is very different than that of the UK or the US, for example. We would be more than happy to use your funds for the benefit of our Pink Crocodile School in Prague and help finance one of our music therapists and speech and language therapists, which the children greatly benefit from. Most of our children are not able to communicating verbally, so it is important to stimulate them with alternative methods, such as music or Augmentative Alternative Communication tools and help them to express themselves. We are a unique school as we are focusing on sever disabilities. Our children for instance suffer from one or more of the following conditions: Autism spectrum conditions Deafblindness / multi-sensory impairment Hearing impairment with additional needs Profound and multiple learning disabilities Auditory processing disorder Hearing impairment including cortical visual impairment with additional needs Additional medical needs including progressive and degenerative conditions Although the conditions of the children are very sever, we don’t want to make people feel sad about the children. It is more the opposite we want to achieve and show people that the kids can also be happy and be an integral part of our society. In the posters attached you can see some examples of our campaign for integration and against discrimination of disabled children. We believe that the children can do everything their lucky peers can do, just need a bit of help. We do a number of extracurricular activities with the children, such as running the half and full marathon in Prague with the kids in special sports wheelchairs. This is always an exciting event for both the kids and parents, as they see their little ones enjoy themselves in the crowed. As an international team (we have a team of Czechs, Slovaks, French and German, British and American) we are also promoting cultural learning. We celebrated in the past Spanish day, Italian day, Asian days, American day, etc. where we learn about music, food and traditions of these countries. A Scottish day we did not have yet and would be happy to integrate this into our curriculum when you are in Prague. I am sure the bagpipes would be something very special for the kids to hear :-). We would also organise some promotion for our social media to present your organisation.
  7. Nothing to report to date, Charter companies will not release flight prices so far in advance due to potential fluctuations in prices, and we are not prepared to "guess" potential costs for obvious reasons..It is similar with the worldwide bedbanks we deal with, We are in talks with a couple of suppliers including the company who look after the FA and the English fans, they are willing to share contacts, Hotels etc., therefore it is hoped pooling our resources will benefit the Tartan Army. As soon as we have any definite costs we will post here, however if you wish to be added to the "mailing list" please pm me
  8. Not sure of the plan for playoffs, depends on aircraft availability and other factors, but hopefully will be in a position to supply some kind of trip
