An early start to Bobbing for 'Apples'

As Autumn falls upon us, not only do we have apple-bobbing to look forward to next month, we have been given an early sweet treat through this years' apple product launch. Comprising of the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max, this drop may be Apples' 13th generation however there is certainly nothing unlucky about it. For more information on the latest from the greatest, as well as how you can get your hands on them, please click below.

A Tee-rific Return to our Social Calendar

After not being able to organise social events for a long while, last week our team was able to enjoy some quality time together, and what better way to get back into the 'swing' of things by visiting a driving range! There was lots of fun and laughs had, as well as some pro-golfers in the making being discovered.
We finished off our night with a wonderful BBQ and a viewing of the Solheim Cup, picking up some techniques and tips from the players to enhance our game for the next time we are on the green together.
It has been wonderful to get back into doing 'normal' things and we hope that this will only continue.
