The Sandstone Team Building Blog

Hi all, it’s my turn again. Sorry it is a few days overdue but we’re all pretty busy here getting everything ready for a number of international events. But I don’t want to be writing about my choice for May in July, so I’ve put a little time aside between packing and filling in the import/export documentation to jot a few notes about … a Wild West event in Cambridgeshire.

None of the participants knew anything about what they would be doing that day - though they had been asked to wear headbands or scarves to add to the ambience - and they certainly did! One or two looked as though they had stepped off the tennis courts, but some really looked the part even though they didn’t know what part they were trying to look like!

My highlights of Wild West are so often the gunslinging or the team railroad race, but this time it just has to be the wigwam making. Rarely have I seen such detailed planning go so badly awry so quickly. It was a hoot to watch and everyone was in stitches trying to fix the unfixable. Picking a winner was impossible - we were forced to pick the team that lost the least!

June is very busy for us and there seem to be few places we are not visiting. Who knows - next month’s commentary might be from these shores. Or from Ireland, Norway, Algeria or even Denmark. I’d best pack some more…
