Dunedin advisory team building with a difference

No holds were barred at Dunedin Advisory’s Team Building away day last month at the Crieff Hydro hotel. Two teams battled it out over 11 activities using strategy, lateral thinking, brute force and in some cases colourful tactics (ie. code for down-right cheating!) to be crowned the ‘Champion A Team’ of the Day!

With ALL staff competing, ages ranged from 20 to 55 plus years. Every part of the body and mind were put to the test with climbing walls, archery and flipping tractor tyres where technique proved to be invaluable. Sumo wrestling in super-large padded outfits was out-and-out hilarious, some looked like Telly Tubbies and others were potential WWE stars in the making!

Four-in-a-sack racing was a definite synchronised strategy event where age was no barrier, but a good pair of legs with rabbit hopping prowess were a distinct advantage. There was something for everyone, including rubic cubes after an assault course over a bouncy castle, covert commando laser guns where teams donned jungle camouflage and Predator face paint. Strategy and leadership skills came to the fore in capturing the opposing team’s base camp. And Yes, brain over brawn stealth manoeuvres proved to be the winning formula over would be Rambo style Terminators.

The look of exhilaration on faces, brimming with excitement and adrenalin, coupled with out-and- out belly laughs, made the day one of the most memorable and talked about great fun events of the year! Injuries included two cracked ribs, two sprained ankles, multiple bruises, dented egos but no animals were injured, or ambulances called!
