Team Building Event

We were approached by a large branch of Royal Mail who wanted to encourage their employees from a number of different units, to work together. They also hoped the event would bring to light some hitherto unseen personal skills of employees.

Participants numbered 40 and the budget was restricted.

The afternoon was based at a country house hotel and began with a light hearted ice breaker - a Treasure Hunt in the hotel and its grounds and extended into the immediate village.

• Employees from different units were "tied together" by their team rope as they scavenged items, deciphered cryptic clues and photographed the "local" flasher.

We followed this ice breaker with supper and the Arctic Challenge. This fun team event challenged the entire group with:

• planning a 4 week Arctic expedition and constructing several 14feet sledges before setting off.
• As the expedition nears the Pole they must cross the glacier using 8 person skis before detonating an explosion to mark their arrival, the expedition success and the end of the event!.

New personal skills emerged as participants assimilated, allocated and implemented the challenge.
