A fabulous night of Indoor Entertainment in the beautiful city of Munich, Germany, helped mark a special evening for Altera Europe, as around 120 guests were treated to a fun-filled and fantastic Team Challenge Company experience following their fabulous Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony.
The Team Challenge Company crew arrived at the wonderful Hilton Munich City Hotel, having travelled over 1400 miles and through 3 seperate countries. Altera Europe had been enjoying 3 days of their kick-off conference in the magnificent Munich location, and a big surprise was in store for all 120 guests following their opening day. A sense of eager anticipation lingered in the air as the guests had a quick 30 minute opportunity to enjoy all the Indoor Entertainment on offer before heading into the beautiful Strauss Ballroom for a sensational dining expereince. The Indoor Entertainment format was a simple one - have as much fun as possible across the huge selection of games and activities on offer!
The sporting theme which had encapsulated Altera Europe's day of conferencing was continued on into the night of Indoor Entertainment, as guests stepped up to the oche to take on the Darts challenge, or lined themselves up on the grids at the Remote Control Car Racing. Then there was the Big Screen Games, a huge hit on the evening, with many 'athletes' hitting the Track and Field events in the Olympic Games, or gunning for glory in the Mario Kart Challenge, where Bob was an absolute hero! The hilarity was huge and there are photos to prove it, as we witnessed some of the most interesting running techniques we have ever seen during the 100m Sprint...!
For those looking for less physically demanding ways to enjoy themselves, there was the massively popular Indoor Entertainment challenge Laser Sport, which say competitors step inside the 'tent of destiny' and put their shooting accuracy to the test. Terry proved the main man, scoring a quite senational 28 hits our of 30! There was also the Puzzle Corner, for all those who wanted to train their brains rather than their muscles. It has to be said that was quite a mix of talent shown on the Puzzles throughout the evening of Indoor Entertainment, though success of the night went to the mighty Mark, who managed to complete the Chess Board Challenge...what a legend!
The main highlight of the Indoor Entertainment event had to be the Baskeball, where a massive competition drew around 30 competitors, all of whom hoped they could walk away with the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy. There could, however, only be one, and after a hugely tense qualifying round, it had come down to one last shot. There was only one woman who could handle the pressure when it mattered most, the Team Challenge Company Basketball Champion, the one and only...Betty!
A fabulous night of Indoor Entertainment had been enjoyed by all in attendance. The party went on long into the evening, and Betty's Winners Trophy sat proudly upon the bar. It was a really great experience to work with such a great group from Altera Europe, and to deliver an event in a city as wonderful as Munich. A big thank you goes to Nisha and Betty for all their hard work in organising such a fun-filled and memorable event, the entire group from Altera Europe were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we at Team Challenge Company look forward to seeing you all again in the near future.
It may have been a little chilly outside, however the temperature was hitting the roof inside the Hilton whilst we were working with the international team from Altera. For me there were highlights and moments that can only be talked about to the group themselves...haha
Thanks to all the sharp shooters that kept us entertained that evening and in particular to one Irish Gent who informed me, its difficult to stood them when they aren't moving..... Great nights entertainment and thank you to Nisha and Betty who took great care in arranging all the details and of course for looking after us.
