Corporate Entertainment & Team Building Day - ET Travel
A group of 20 excited employees of ET Travel arrived at Hasting's Culloden Estate & Spa to enjoy a fantastic morning and afternoon of Corporate Entertainment on the beautiful grounds of the hotel.
The group were divided into 2 teams before the Corporate Entertainment kicked off - Team Ducks and Team Pâté . The teams competed Head-to-Head on each of the fun Corporate Outdoor Activities, battling it out to win the points that would see them walk away with the elusive Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy...the competition proved to be some of the fiercest we've ever witnessed!
Inflatable Fun in the shape of the mighty Bungee Run was the first challenge that the teams faced, as the nervous competitors strapped themselves in and prepared to hammer down the course before being snapped back to reality - otherwise known as the starting line! It was a close race, but eventually Team Pâté 'ran out' winners and put 1000 points in the bag.
More Inflatable Fun was to follow in the Human Table Football, as the Corporate Entertainment became more competitive by the minute - so competitive 2 of Team Ducks players were sent off! They didn't let this hinder them however, and the stole victory in a mammoth match.
A small slice of Team Building was brought to the day in a hilarious game of Catapult. Both Team Ducks and Team Pâté built constructions that looked like could go the distance...how wrong we were! Team Ducks obliterated the opposition with an enormous launch, and had come back from an early deficit to claim the lead going into the final Corporate Activity - Archery!
Though the competitors weren't the most naturally talented archers we've ever met, Russell and Euan's expert tuition soon had both teams striking gold more often than not, as once again another activity came down the wire! Victory for Team Ducks would see them walk away outright winners, whereas victory for Team Pâté would bring the afternoon of Corporate Entertainment into deadlock...! The skill, will and determination of Team Pâté shone through, as they claimed the win, making it 2 victories each for both teams.
A tie-breaker was offered to both teams, but it was decided that it would have been unfair to divide two such well matched teams into winners and losers. The day of Corporate Entertainment & Team Building had ended in a draw, and the captains of Team Ducks and Team Pâté came up to accept the joint Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy. A fantastic day of fun and laughter was enjoyed by all the competitors, and perhaps our next event with ET Travel will eventually provide an undisputed winner...!
