I enjoyed it.
We went to ETON Rowing College. It is the same place where the Rowing World Cup in august 2006 And Olympics in 2012 are going to take place. So half of the total hotel staff went today and the rest are going to go tomorrow. So as it goes, we all assemled at our hotel at 7 in the morning......had breakfast....and boarded the coaches to ETON in Dorney, WINDSOR.
It is in country side and a beautiful place.
We were divided into different teams. first half of the day we were supposed to do land related activities and second half we were going to do the water related activities. Here goes the details of the activities in chronological order:
~➻➻FIRST TASK~
We were given given two logs, two elastic bands, a bucket full of Cleaning scrub, two more buckets and two ropes....and we were supposed to make a catapult with the provided stuff in eight minutes and then throw the wet sponge through this catapult to the finish line where my team members will try and catch them. more you catch more points you get. since non of us had made a catapult in our life so after much discussion we ended up with a crap catapult (it seemed to be the best thing at that moment though). Consequence: we couldn't even throw the sponge to the required length. all we could catch were 9. So we got 9 points for this one. There were more tasks waiting for us ahead, it was going to be an exciting day.
Right now, I am really really tired and have a long day at work tomorrow as we are only four people in my dept. tomorrow because rest will be in regatta. Therefore I am going to sleep and continue this blog on sunday when i am off and probably will have more photos of the event.
Till then.........................................
