Corporate Entertainment and Casino Night Eureka Solutions
An excited group from Eureka Solutions enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of Corporate Entertainment which was followed by an extra special Casino Night at the stunning St. Andrews Bay Hotel.
The afternoon kicked-off with the group being divided into teams and were asked to select team names before the battle commenced. And so, the 4 teams were born:, The 7 Wise Men, The Dream Team, Geeks & Girls and Ladies Who Like to Shop. It was time for the Corporate Entertainment to begin, and after the teams were introduced to what they were playing for - the spectacular Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy - they couldn't wait to get started. First stop, Helium Stick! Always a testy opening to the day, as the video clearly shows...
The teams rotated around four Corporate Activities during the afternoon, attempting to gain points towards that illustrious top prize. The competiton hotted up in the Target Golf and Archery, as pin-point precission paid off with some big scores in both. The Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting proved a real test of skill and ability, with some sharp shooters taking on the challenge and laying down an impressive gauntlet.
It was the Mini Highland Games that provided the most hilarity, which saw Big Euan from The 7 Wise Men don full tartan as he became team mascot. The ever cheeky Ladies Who Like to Shop also came up with a gem of a quote - 'hey, stop stroking that mans welly...' Finally, the tone was well and truly lowered by John from the Dream Team - 'Aww man, you're just all grunt and no push' - how right you are John!!!
The teams then headed back indoors for the Bridge Build Finale, a spectacle not to be missed! For all those teams who have tried and failed in the past, check out this masterclass...pure poetry in motion!
As the afternoon of Corporate Activities drew to a close the scores were added up, and the final presentations were made. In last place with just 2000 points...well, we'll let the video explain - one more time, who let the dogs out...?
Ladies Who Like to Shop and The 7 Wise Men came in joint second with a respectable 2400 points, but it was never in doubt for the Geeks and Girls, as they strolled away Team Challenge Company Champions with a mammoth 3800 points.
Following the fantastic afternoon Corporate Entertainment, the group relaxed with a James Bond Themed Casino Night. The teams once again competed for top spot, but this time it was on the roulette and blackjack tables that hey would do battle. Starting with an ample sum of fun money, the gamblers got to work.
As the Casino Night got under full flow, Carole kept team spirits high, singing over 20 Karaoke Tunes and dubbing herself the Queen of Pop! With tensions running high and big bets going down across the tables, there was bound to be heartbreak for at least one team - and that one team was once again The Dream Team, losing all their money to walk away with yet another wooden spoon! 7 Wise Men managaed a pretty disappointing £30 win, who were beaten into second by the Geeks and Girls. It was always obvious who would be crowned Casino Night Champions...the team who were better at spending money by nature, the true James Bond Girls - The ladies Who Like to Shop!
Everybody who attended thoroughly enjoyed the entire Event, where the Casino Night was a perfect finish to a fun-filled day of Corporate Activities. A bIg thank you must go to Alistair Livingston for such hard work in organisin a trule memorable day, and Team Challenge Company is looking forward to working with Eurkea Solutions again in the future.

What a group!! Brilliant for beginning to end. Especially the 'Ladies who like to shop' never left my welly alone (at the mini highland games :) )
As for the Casino Evening and the singing at the Karaoke, couple of very good singers and then a couple of not so much but 10/10 for effort and fun.
Bring on any future events, looking forward to them already
