The aim is to design and develop a 30 second video , which will then be played back to all the other delegates.  We will provide all the technician equipment and a qualified technician. Teams will be given props and basic scenario’s.

This activity can be carried out inside or outside the hotel.  The teams will be sent on missions around the hotel to gather information and envelopes.  On their journey they will be asked to solve clues and perform as a team to be granted information.  The envelopes will provide the necessary clues to lead the teams to their final destination.  The team that gathers the information correctly will stand the greatest chance of being the winner.

Fire Engine fun… Blue lights flashing, siren whirring and water spraying …everywhere!

One of our newest activities, our fire engine experience is about as near to being a real fireman/woman as you will get!  This is no toy, but a real working fire engine and real uniforms.

Step into your fire boots, pull up your leggings, put on your fire Tunic and helmet, and stand on the squad line ready for action… You will be detailed a training drill before mounting the engine and driving it to an incident - a ‘house fire’ with 'persons reported'.

When you’ve arrived at the scene your crew will get to work, rolling out the hose and knocking down targets with the hose reels.

Once complete, you can then make a 'snatch rescue' of the mother and child (don’t worry they are dummies!) before you 'knock off and make up' the equipment.

Once you’ve achieved your goal, it’s a race back to the start to ring the bell.

Time to have some serious fun, and what better than a bit of pirate boating.  Inside a 40ft x 20ft ‘boating lake’.  One of the team are nominated as Captain and will have to pilot the boat up the lake carrying stolen gold !  Half of the team are the pirates digging up and taking the gold to the port.  The remaining players are merchants receiving the gold and cashing it in for points. The boating lake is flat PVC made slippery with foam & water.  The boats are moved by the pirates and merchants pulling on ropes.  Oh and the police are the opposing teams equipped with water pistols !!!

Taken straight from the TV series, probably the most fun game.  A 100ft long slippery slope of lubricated PVC is laid down, marked for distance.  Each player puts on a wetsuit and gets hosed down.  Then they must run and throw themselves down the slope.  The idea is to get as far as possible, and scores will be awarded to the players who achieve the furthest distance.

Two teams will race against each other, relay style, through the inflatable assault course.  Once each player has reached the end of the run they will have to put on one of our fancy dress outfits and re-join the team by coming back through the course in reverse !  Once all the team members are home and in fancy dress the fist team to do this will be declared the winners.

Each team will nominate 3 players to participate in this event, the remainder of the team will have to provide as much support as possible.  The chosen players must be at least 1 male and 1 female.  Each of the chosen 3 will have 1 practise ride and 1 timed ride of the bucking bronco. The total team time of all 3 players will count towards their score.

In this game strategy is all important, both teams will have to select their players in order of strength to match the opposing player from the second team.  After donning the safety gear and climbing onto the raised podium the gladiators will take their positions.  Each bout will earn the winning team 1 point.  The team with the most points will take the cash.
