Ann Wood,City of Aberdeen Swimming Club - Calella 2008
"Service from Sports & Corporate Group Travel was excellent. They took care of all arrangements from beginning to end. The swim campo ran very smoothly and was a great success. We would highly recommend"p>
-
John Carter, West Ledds ARLFC - Paris 2008
"S&C were the only company to listen to us and not push us into going where other tour companies 'specialised' in. Very accessible, even at 9.00 o'clock on a Sunday night. Very helpful with all the paperwork for the RFL"
-
Jackie Booth, Sherburn Bears ARLFC - Dublin 2008
"Sherburn Bears - 22 players, 2 coaches, 1 first aider, 20 supporters, 1 top notch driver - equals- 1 PERFECT TOUR"
-
Harry Hanson, Littleborough RUFC - Twickenham 2008
"Fun, morale booster, friendships cemented with all 35 on tour, excitement, competitive spirit in Ten Pin bowling. The match against Marlow RFC and coaching by Quins staff was excellent but the icing on the cake was match day at the Stoop against Sale Sharks. A fantastic atmosphere and positively the right time to tour - the end of the season! All the boys are now on a high and can't wait to sign for next season"
-
Luke Walker, Blackheath RFC - Lyon 2008
"I have had only positive feedback from my fellow tourists which says it all. We will all take great memories from this, thanks!"p>
-
Mel Parry, Benllech RFC - Antrim 2008
"I found S&C extremely helpful, nice and pleaseant to deal with and also flexible, which is very important when there are large groups involved"
-
Jamie Fisher, BIRFC U14's - Recommendation
"In fact I feel we ought to be making use of their capabilities to make our tours easier to manage – their costs were much lower than their competitors and they are extremely pleasant to deal with! Bear in mind they are real rugby people, they work closely with Sale Sharks on the corporate level and have a huge range of contacts around the world, so they are unlike many of the so-called specialist tour organisers."
-
Helen Burridge, St.Albans RFC U14's - Devon 2008
"Excellent, nothing needs improving. I was a bit worried - fifteen 14 year old boys but they were brilliant. The coach driver was excellent he couldn't do enough for us and the rugby fixtures were spot on" "
-
Robb Merchant, AbergavennyRFC - Solway Firth - The Lakes 2008
"A very good service all round. From the very first contact with S&C a very good rapport was built. The Rugby clubs gave a great welcome and we had some good competitive games and I would recommend the whole tour to anyone looking to tour the North West of England. Thank you to Matthew and his team."
-
Dilwyn Evans, West Bridgford RFC - Belgium 2008
"If you want a problem free tour, use S&C"
Josh Holt, Farragut High School, Tennessee, USA - UK Tour 2008
"S&C provided our group a chance to experience the social and historical culture of England alongside our main reason for the tour - Rugby. From the training sessions to the games, to the Sale Sharks match, every part of our experience was top notch!"
Dave Saunter, Bodmin RFC U14/15's - Holland 2008
"Bodmin had 2 great days playing rugby with perfect hosts and stayed in accommodation which suited the boys/parents needs - thanks and here's to France 2009"
Tony Harjette, Marlow U14's - Holland 2008
"The Dutch once again went out of their way to make you feel welcome. A truly great touring destination!"
Andrew Sherlock, Welwyn RFC U15's - Ireland 2008
"Our initial tour enquiry was dealt with very well with significantly more detail and personalisation than other companies. This set you apart from the start as we had a better understanding of the shape and cost of the tour from the start".
"The tour was a great success. As is often the case the better the planning the better the outcome. The partners S&C selected were helpful and flexible and provided outstanding service to the squad. Probably our best tour ever!"
