Hello Team Finance,

Thank you all for getting stuck in at the Away Day. It made for a really enjoyable, laughter filled, fun day.  Thank you as well for all of your feedback.  We’ll be sharing that with you soon.

We kicked off the day in Stoddart where you, in your teams recorded your personal and work successes from the last year; and blimey we have all achieved a lot.  Take a look here at what we have achieved!

We then moved on to the lecture theatre where the day was introduced by Philip and Simon.  Antonia then told us all about how we are all going to be chased by zombies in our next step challenge and set the tone for the day 🙂

After that we headed up to the top floor of Charles Street to work in our teams on the Marshmallow Challenge.  6 teams still had a standing tower at the end of the 18 minutes. Well done to everyone who took part, it was a tricky challenge. We all found out about who does best on these challenges:

After lunch we started on the main challenge of the day, SHUtv Advert Break. We were overwhelmed by how you all jumped into the challenge head first and the results speak for themselves. We promise they are just as funny on the second time round:

SECOND PLACE:

WINNERS:

As well as the video challenge we had the team challenge. This had lots of different activities in for you all to complete. The winners of the team challenge were THRIVE TRIBE:

The over all winners of the day were The SHUpremes:

BUT THERE IS MORE…….

On the day as part of the team challenge you took photos to represent our values. We have uploaded these to our Flickr group and you can now vote for your favourites (and believe me there are some good ones).  Voting is open until Friday 1st July.  Find out how to vote HERE.

Thank you all for a wonderful enjoyable day. We don’t think we have laughed that hard at work EVER.

Anna and Vanessa 🙂
