"The level of service received was better than a 5 star hotel"

Mike Glaire, The Edinburgh Training Centre

"Just a huge thanks for yesterday's cruise on Reunion.  It was fantastic and just what the students were needing to re-vitalise their spirits and get them back on track for the months ahead.  Truly inspirational what you, Sam and all your volunteers have achieved over the last year. "

Staff at Whale Arts / Stevenson College

"Hi Jay,
Just wanted to say thanks very much for a great day on Saturday. My
management committee thoroughly enjoyed the day. Personally, I found the barge a great venue for a teambuilding/training event.

At first I thought it was going to be a bit ... cosy, but actually it was a comfortable, accommodating venue. It was good to have the smaller spaces further down the boat when we broke into smaller groups. It was also good to have use of the kitchen space so that we could just break for tea/coffee when we wanted to.


I also felt that it was easier to stay focussed throughout the day. Usually at these sorts of events, I'm toiling by mid afternoon, but my concentration levels were still high at the end of the day and I honestly think this had to do with being on the barge, the good weather, and being able to enjoy the fresh air throughout the day.

So many thanks, and I will be recommending the barge as a venue to other organisations."

'Good luck Re-Union'

There were two young skippers called Sam & Jay,

Who bought a canal boat so people could play,

On long sunny weekends in scenic Ratho,

Haven't you heard its the place to go?

Its called Re-Union - now that's a cool name,

And its aim is inclusive - we're all one in the same.

Everyone now has the chance to cruise,

Give it a go - you've got nothing to lose.

Scotland Unltd gave them some cash

So the venture could launch with a really big splash!

Now all that's left is to wish them good luck...

But watch out - you almost mowed down that poor duck!

by the talented Eileen

& with best wishes from the folks at Scotland Unltd & SENSCOT

 

 

 

Perfect Day

     What a perfect day we had for our reunion and what a great treat

to be on the Re-Union barge enjoying the sunshine and water and trees along the canal.
