Imagine if The Wurzels were to organise the Olympic Games, and starting places were reserved only for athletes who trained on a strict diet of scrumpy cider, pasties and a refusal to take any of the events even remotely seriously. Add a large slice of West Country charm and your competitive team members and you're close to understanding the madness that is the Somerset Challenge team building event.
Separate your staff into teams mixing junior and senior staff members, young and old and splitting departments to encourage new interdepartmental working relationships. Add some fun instructors/'Country Marshals', a good dose of competitive spirit and some totally bizarre but hilarious games and get set for a team-building afternoon like no other.
