SKSC Mini Bus

In March 2008 the Sports Council took delivery of their new 17 seater Ford Transit mini bus having raised nearly £25,000 in just under 1 year.  This was a tremendous effort by the committee and once again demonstrated the generosity of the people of Kintyre who supported this campaign.  (more detail on this to follow)

Click here to read how we raised enough money to purchase our new mini bus. To hire the Sports Council mini bus your organisation must be fully paid members of the Sports Council (click here to find out more)  and the driver must have a D1 on their driving licence. Please contact Malina McAulay on 01586 552922 to book the SKSC mini bus.

Note please - With effect from 1st April 2010 the hire of the bus has been increased by £5 to £60.  This will help to cover the increasing costs associated with running the mini bus but is still £5 cheaper than the hire charges we had for the old bus in 2007.  The insurance for the mini bus alone is £127 per month so hires are vital to keeping the bus on the road.

The following local businesses agreed in 2008 to sponsor the Sports Council's new mini bus for three years generating an income of £2,750 each year.

This will ensure the mini bus can be hired at a level which covers basic running costs whilst ensuring funds rise each year towards the replacement of the mini bus in 5 years time.

The Sports Council wishes to express their gratitude to Argyll Buildbase, McKinven & Colville, The Tasting Room (Springbank), Livingstone & McEachran and McFadyens Contractors.  Your support is really appreciated by everyone at the Sports Council and our member clubs!
