Corporate Fun Days with Total
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 500 excited guests from Total arrived at Ardoe House Hotel in eager anticipation for this year's Total Shorts and Shades Themed Corporate Fun Day BBQ.
The sun was shining as guests arrived to a beach themed welcome and 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 young ones enjoyed the Moonwalker and Giant Slide, as well as the Face Painting and Nail Art. The adults could find Corporate Fun Days entertainment in the shape of the Laser Clays Pigeon Shooting, Archery, Target Golf and Target Air Rifles. The Inflatable Fun Zone certainly saw plenty of action throughout the Corporate Fun Day, with the Gladiator Duel, Bucking Bronco and Human Table Football proving hugely popular right across the afternoon. Brothers battled Sisters and Mums took on Dads on the Bungee Run, providing a fantastic day out for all the family.
The first of the Corporate Fun Day competitions got underway on the Archery, which saw an impressive crowd gather, some to take up the challenge and see if they could walk home a champ! with others there to cheer on and support the competotors. It was the Final round and they stood side by side Chelsea V's Chris. Chris was no stranger to the archery as he was the 2008 defending champion. After the best of three arrows the 2008 champion hit gold and was crownded champion for another year.
Next up was the Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting competition, which once again drew a curious crowd, everybody eager to try and claim the second trophy of the Corporate Fun Day. Once again the competition was fierce, and a battle had formed against Steve and a mystery woman who called him STEPHEN, with everything riding on the final clay, Steve stepped up to claim a well deserved victory! The Bucking Bronco Championships rounded off the competitions for the Corporate Fun Day, which saw 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 It's a Knockout style races for children and adults alike. We had the blue and pink teams fighting it out to be the knockout champions competing in the Ski Race, Caterpillar Track and the Water Pull challenges, it was a close competition but the pink team pipped the blue team to the finish and were crowned the Team Challenge Company Champions for the day.
Once all the competitions and activities came to an end it was time for the raffle. Tickets had been sold throughout the day to raise money for 'The Archie Foundation', all the guests gathered in the Ogston suite to hear the winning numbers being announced, the tension was high as everyone wanted to get their hands on one of the fantastic prizes. 'The Archie Foundation' were delighted with the donation from Total and all who put their hands in their pockets for a worthy cause.
As the guests began to depart 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 Mary for her part in organising such a truly unforgettable Corporate Fun Day, the Total guests were a joy to entertain and we at Team Challenge Company certainly look forward to seeing everybody again soon.
