The sun was trying to peak through the clouds as the staff from Technip arrived for their annual Corporate Family Fun Days event at Ardoe House Hotel. Denver and Coco the Clown welcomed everyone to the fun day only expecting hi-5's in return for entry. For this years event the World Cup was the very appropriate theme with flags and posters throughout the suite. The face painters were ready to paint everyone's supporting teams on their faces, along with lots of beautiful butterflies for the non supporters. The children had the delights of Denvers Den, ball pools, bouncy castles, mini quads, bungee trampolines. The older ones and adults also had lots to enjoy including lazertag, adult quad bikes, laser clay pigeon shooting and archery to name a few.
The delicious aroma of the barbecue filled the air as everyone was offered lots of delicious treats, allowing all to get energised and refuel. Archery was the first competition of the day, for this we had a large group all vying for The Team Challenge Company trophy. It was a knockout competition which separated the amateurs from the pros with Finlay coming out on top and taking home the trophy. For the laser clay pigeon shooting competition Finley wasn't feeling too confident and cheated his way through the challenge. Obviously this is not allowed and he was knocked out which allowed Roger the reining champion from 2013 to succeed and take home the trophy.
After what felt like the first 2 hours of the day Stephen became the first person to get a hole in one on the longest putt challenge, practice makes perfect. We had some fantastic artists making some lovely cards and pictures, having fun with all the stickers and pipe cleaners. Coco the Clown was kept busy entertaining children and adults with his circus skills workshop and creating some balloon animals for the children to take away with them. The raffle was the highlight for most with lots of prizes won for the children and adults. It was then sadly time to leave, the goodie boxes were handed out and Denver bid a farewell. A massive thank you to Lynda and the rest of the team, your hard work once again, it is clearly shown through the day and we always love working with you. Looking forward to seeing you all in November.
