Ok so "goes with a swing" isn't the most original title for a golf story, but it does describe the fantastic day enjoyed by Railston clients, suppliers and staff at the Celtic Manor on Friday 13th. The charity event was held to raise money for The Mustard Tree Macmillan centre at Plymouth Hospital, funds are still being totalled and we will post the final amount in the next few days. The golfers were lucky enough to play the Ryder Cup Twenty Ten Course and competition was fierce from the start. There were some cracking shots, good-humoured banter with drinks and food following the main event.
 
The individual winner was Railston project manager, Mike McKenna.
 
The winning team was High & Mighty

The other winners were:
Longest drive - John Haney
Nearest the pin - Reg Prim
Shot of horror - Chris Hyrb

Thanks to Reg Prim and Irena Windslow for their efforts organising the day and to all those who played and gave generously to the charity.

Railston are always looking at how to do things better and recently the iPad has been trialled as an alternative to the laptop to use when out of the office. Numerous benfits have been identified, including faster communication and easier access to files. The iPad allows an enhanced view of documents and drawings when onsite and is easier and quicker to use than the laptop. There are a number of apps that will be used to bring these efficienies to life and, following a short trial period, these applications will be incorporated into standard working practices - Angry Birds is not one of them as yet...

As a result  we decided to alter our animation in the reception area to resemble that of an iPad advert. The animation not only welcomes quests but gives them something good to look at whilst waiting, not to mention it keeps them up to date with our newest projects such as Azendi, JD Sports, Everything Everywhere and High and Mighty. Here are a few screen grabs, but for a better look just drop in for a visit!
