As part of Ingleton Wood’s team building initiative, this month our Norwich Office tackled a white water rafting challenge at Lee Valley White Water Rafting Centre at Waltham Cross. Our Norwich staff enjoyed an unusually warm autumnal day where staff were split into three teams, aptly named; Aqua Babies, Aqua Noughts and Aqua Nymphs. After an initial briefing, staff took to the water with their Raft Guides putting everyone through their paces through the various twists and turns of the course leading up to the ultimate challenge, the rapids. Despite a few staff inevitably falling overboard, with team spirit in spades everyone pulled together and completed the course with smiling faces. Afterwards the team welcomed the opportunity to warm up at the bar with some well deserved drinks before the journey home where the teams took part in a general knowledge quiz. With just one point in it, the Aqua Noughts reigned triumphant over the Aqua Nymphs taking away the prize, a bottle of Champagne. Once the staff arrived back at the office, the socialising continued at the Unthank Arms in Norwich, where staff enjoyed a delicious meal and of course the obligatory beer or two for their efforts. A great time was had by all that attended, watch this space to see the next Ingleton Wood team building event! |
