Annual Charity Bowls 2024

Annual Charity Bowls 2024

Join us as we celebrate another successful year of fundraising with the annual Elite Control Systems and The North British Distillery Charity Bowls match! Our annual Bowls event at the West Calder Bowling Club was a big hit once again, with a delicious lunch supplied by local Thistles good friendly competition, and lots of fun.

 

After a hearty lunch, teams were formed, bowls were collected, and the games began.  With the weather just holding out, the top two teams faced off in a thrilling final match, with NBD emerging victorious by just one bowl.

 

In keeping with tradition, the “throw a coin at the Bottle” followed along with a Raffle, raising and with generous addition contributions from both NBD and the Robertson’s Trust meant that over a £1,000 was raised for Alzheimer’s Scotland.

 

Thank you everyone who participated and helped make this event a success and here’s to another great year of giving back and having a great time together.

 

Well done everyone who helped and took part.

Annual BBQ Highlights:

 

Last week, we enjoyed some rare sunny weather and held our annual BBQ. The team had a great time cycling at lunchtime, followed by delicious food and fun in the office backyard. Which is a great way for the team to enjoy each other’s company prior to the summer holidays season starting. A big shoutout to our amazing chefs who organised and cooked for us – you did a fantastic job!

 

Stay tuned for our next update where we’ll reveal the final results of the Love to Ride Challenge and share more exciting news from Elite.

Elite Cycle Warriors are Back for the May 2024 Love to Ride Challenge

 

The Elite Cycle Warriors are back and started the Love to Ride Challenge of May 2024.  The helmets have been dusted down, bikes oiled, tires checked and we are off…!

And what better way to celebrate than by joining fellow cyclists in the ultimate two-wheeled showdown?

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just dusting off your old cruiser, there’s a place for everyone in this pedal-powered fiesta.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your bike, rally your friends and colleagues, and let’s make this May one for the record books. The road awaits, fellow cycle warriors – let’s ride!

 

 

Elite Bowling Night

 

As Winter departs and Spring beckons, lighter nights arrive so some of the team headed to the bowls for a bit of indoor fun and a night at the ten-pin bowling. Blowing off some steam (Very relevant for one of our customers projects just now!) a few bowls were thrown down the lane and knocking over a few pins (sometimes!) whilst trying to avoid that nasty gutter (more often than some of us would have liked) helped get rid of a few cobwebs and helped get everyone out of the rain for a while.

Spot the winners by the biggest smiles…..
