Corporate Fun Days with Bristow Helicopters
We hope this blog will bring back some great memories of your fantastic Corporate Fun Day. Check out all the photos from the afternoon, and don't forget to leave us a comment at the bottom of the page with some of your highlights and favourite moments! Over 200 excited guests from Bristow Helicopters arrived at Ardoe House Hotel in eager anticipation for this year's Bristow Helicopters Corporate Fun Day. The young ones enjoyed the Bouncy Castle and Ball Pool, as well as the Face Painting and Pirate Treasure Hunt. The adults could find Corporate Fun Days entertainment in the shape of the Laser Clays Pigeon Shooting, Archery, Target Golf and Adult Quads. The Inflatable Fun Zone certainly saw plenty of action throughout the Corporate Fun Day, with the Bungee Run and Giant Slide proving hugely popular right across the afternoon. Brothers battled Sisters on and Mum took on Dads on the mighty Gladiator Duel, giving it everything to send their opponents crashing to the inflatable bed below. It seems that the biggest highlight of the day was our extra-special guest, the sensational Dozer the Clown. All guests were welcomed into Dozer's fantastic Clown Around Arena by the main man himself to enjoy all the hilarity and antics of a Circus Clown. Dozer showed off his amazing circus skills, which incuded Juggling, Plate Spinning and flying the Diablo high above the crowds before bringing it back to Earth in style. It was then the turn of the guests, who joined in the Clown Around antics and attempted to master all the skills of the trade...the tricky Pedalo certainly caused many big laughs! Next up was the Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting competition, which once again drew massive crowds, everybody eager to try and claim the second trophy of the Corporate Fun Day. Once again the competition was fierce, and with everything riding on the final clay, 'Dangerous Dave-O' stepped up to claim a well deserved victory! The Bucking Bronco Championships rounded off the competitions for the Corporate Fun Day, which saw 'Andy the Great' hold on for longest and claim the win! With the Corporate Fun Day drawing to a close, there was still time for one last big finale...the Children and Adult Races. Competitors sprinted, jumped and hopped their way to some fantastic sweetie prizes, and it is safe to say there was some incredible athleticism shown throughout all of the races! We even had a celebrity in our midst's, as Olympic Swimmer Hannah Miley bounced her way through the fantastic Space Hooper Race. Superstar Hannah was also on hand to present all the trophies from the afternoon, and even had time to spare for one last snap with some of the Team Challenge Company Crew!
The guests looked out across a sea of Corporate Fun Day activities and quickly realised that they were in for a real treat throughout the afternoon, and they were not to be disappointed. There was hours of endless entertainment ahead for all the family, with lots of Corporate Fun Day games and activities for children and adults of all ages.
The first of the Corporate Fun Day competitions quickly got underway on the Archery, which saw a massive crowd gather around to take up the challenge and see if they could walk home a champ! Round by round the competitors were whittled down until the final, where one young man kept is cool above all others and fired home to victory...the incredible, the unstoppable, the invincible Ethan! What a great final it was, and what composure Ethan showed to hold off reigning champion 'Big Ian' and hold the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy aloft.
As the guests began to drift away it was clear that everybody had thoroughly enjoyed the entire afternoon, and that the Corporate Fun Day Event had been a massive success. A big thank-you must go to Fiona for her part in organising such a truly unforgettable Corporate Fun Day, the Bristow Helicopters guests were a joy to work with and we at Team Challenge Company certainly look forward to seeing everybody again soon.
