SPORT FOR SCHOOLS/COLLEGES The range and scope of sporting activities available in Europe is unique. Barton Hill Travel has assisted scores of Junior and Senior sporting teams, and supporters, to play or watch their favourite sport. From Rugby to Ice Hockey, Netball, Soccer and Cricket, there are teams at all levels who are only too happy to compete against visitors from other countries. Whichever way you look at it, Travel and Sport are a winning combination GOLF It is an ambition of many to play the great courses of Scotland and Ireland, as well as the top courses in Europe. We have arranged programmes for individuals, small groups and company incentives, which include the British Open Championships or other major events. We have found that often the most effective programmes include smaller clubs as well as the household names. The friendliness and hospitality at many lesser known clubs can add an extra dimension to a golfing experience. So if names like St Andrews, Turnberry and Ballybunion are just dreams, you may find that we can help to fulfil the ambition. EQUESTRIAN In Britain and France the major events in the racing calendar are just as much social events as they are about Horse Racing. Royal Ascot, in particular, is arguably the social highlight of the year, and the hat designers have a field day. Traditionally the Queen joins racegoers on Ascot Gold Cup Day (Thursday). In summer there are numerous evening meetings in England and Ireland which means that horse racing aficionados can enjoy racing virtually daily. The proximity of Epsom Derby, Royal Ascot, and the French and Irish Derbies, all of which are within a month of each other, provides a feast of racing from early June onwards. For real enthusiasts. Or for those whose interest lies in Bloodstock, visits to the major breeders in Ireland, Newmarket and Newbury can be arranged. MOTORSPORT We can provide tickets and grandstand seats to all the European Formula 1 Grand Prix events, Le Mans 24 hour endurance race and just about any other Motor Sport event you can think of. Accommodation can be individual if required. Don’t forget the European Rally Circuit which provides some of the most entertaining action of all. The same goes for Motorcycling particularly the Grand Prix events and the Isle of Man TT Races. The combination of a major motor race, some of Europe’s best automotive museums and visits to manufacturers such as Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar has proved a winner in the past for leisure and auto incentive groups. For everything automotive, think Barton Hill Travel.
