And so to Stackpole.
This year the journey went more smoothly - the coach drivers didn't get lost
The weather was dry.
The scenery stunning...
...and green.
Business sessions on the Friday.
Were rewarded with a visit to the beach.
And a splendid picnic.
The weather wasn't that warm but Kyriakos fancied a dip !!!
Adrian sensibly decided that his toes were all he was getting wet !
Kate and Alexa just enjoyed the sand.
Joern had brought his ball but following last years 'sprirted' England V Germany game, the football was off.
And the German office were very dubious about the 'tug of war' arranged as an alternative.
The Brits were up for it !
But faced formidable and well organised opposition.
The German men were victorious !
Which left the Girls to defend the British honour.
And in the evening a fancy dress party.
Some costumes were creative.
And others colourful.
Holly went for a 70's CHiPs feel.
While Emmie won the fancy dress competition as Edward Scissor Hands.
Nick and Adrian didn't win!
And who was the Bear ?
Il Commendatore and Dave his surgeon.
This was Dave's last company 'event', sadly he's leaving us after 19 years.
He'll be genuinely missed !
