Win a Second Honeymoon in our Wedding Photo Competition!
March 25, 2009
Photography is a serious business at any Scottish wedding but apart from the official photographer, there are always plenty of family members and friends taking impromptu shots of the big event. We love these informal shots but, unfortunately, we hardly ever get to see them after the big day.
That is why the Watermil Hotel has launched a fun Wedding Day photo competition. Are you having your wedding or reception at the Watermill this year? If so, send in your most entertaining informal photographs of the event – encourage friends and relatives to join in, this competition is not for the big, serious professional shots.
The winner will receive a second mini honeymoon for the happy couple, consisting of a night in the honeymoon suite, a bottle of champagne and dinner for two.
To enter, just upload your most entertaining photographs to Flickr the free photo sharing site. Tag them with the keyword “watermill hotel” so we can find them. Closing date for entries is the end of September 2009. If you are unable to upload your photographs online, please send them to us and we will be glad to post them to Flickr for you. Good luck and stay tuned as we update this site with competition updates!
The Watermill to the fore for charity
September 16, 2008
We love our golf at the Watermill and seldom miss an opportunity to tell guests about some of the great golf courses within an easy drive (or at least a two wood). We also play a bit, which is why we were delighted the Watermill team landed first place in the recent Stableford Four-Ball competition at Erskine Golf Club.
The real winner however was St Vincent’s Hospice in Howwood, Johnstone. The event was a fundraiser and happily we helped to inch the total towards £3,500 for the day. Here’s a report of the day from the Paisley Daily Express.
The Singing Children of Africa in Scotland
June 30, 2008
We were delighted to host a party for the Singing Children of Africa to kick off their latest tour of Scotland. The youngsters were raising funds for their school and the new orphanage in Kenya but before they got down to the (relatively) serious business of entertaining Renfrewshire, they let their hair down in the restaurant and demonstrated some very sharp moves on our dance floor.
In many ways it was little different from one of our regular childrens’ parties. However, the chef was asked to prepare much milder food than you would expect to see on a Scottish menu. These children come from a very poor background where plain rice is considered a luxury, never mind anything as exotic as a bag of crisps.
There was a brief hiatus in proceedings when the choir moved outside to sing two of their songs for the television cameras and, later, the children extended their visit to the Watermill so they could watch themselves on the evening news. A great end to a memorable day.
