On Friday 11th September, The Word, The Works and Magic joined forces yet again, but this time swapping the boardroom for a sports hall to compete in the inaugural Active Norfolk Corporate Games.
22 teams from businesses across Norfolk entered the competition which took place at Sportspark at the UEA that afternoon. Our team ‘More Balls’ consisted of Jenna, Sophie, James, Mark R and Rachael and we donned our shorts and sweat bands to compete in 11 activities including dodgeball, volleyball, cycling, speed stacking and archery.
It was a high-energy afternoon and the competition was fierce. We found out that basketball, dodgeball, softball and petanque were our strengths and ultimate Frisbee and table tennis were definitely not! Even so, all involved had a great afternoon and it was a great opportunity for team bonding outside the office!
It might be the age-old cliché but it really is the taking part that counts and despite the odd ache or bruise the next day, it was definitely worth it!
Thanks to Active Norfolk and Sportspark for organising and hosting a great event – we look forward to next year!
