When the Finsbury Group came to Mythe Barns and asked if we could provide a conference break activity for their 100 delegates, we jumped at the opportunity.
They wanted something that was fun, engaging, lively, worked indoors and within the time available. The Great Egg Race fitted their needs perfectly. With our event manager taking over the stage to introduce the challenge to the teams in the Grain Store, the event crew distributed boxes of materials and a brief to each round table team. The tension mounted and competition grew as teams started to design and develop a plan to deliver their vehicle ready for racing in 1.5 hours.
Designs could include two wheel drive, four wheel drive, gearing or propeller driven, allowing for some serious creativity in design. The race track was set up in the Oak Barn where representatives introduced their prototype model before testing for speed. This initial presentation allowed for some poetic licence about each creation as to why theirs was the best out of the ten teams to enter.
The activity was a great success, providing the opportunity to get to know colleagues more and generate some healthy competition amongst the teams.
