Good day, everyone! I hope you've all had a smashing week, I can safely say that it's been a fantastic one for all of us over here ;p
As you may already know, this week's main event was the Sandwich Crew away day on Friday, which consisted of a LARP (Live Action Role-Play) team building exercise, hosted by the one and only Simon Wicks.
Of course, the first challenge of putting on such an event is finding a suitable location. Fortunately we are situated near a park, which just happens to be the perfect setting. As Master seems to like ringing people up on the ol' 'tele-mobile', Wicks tasked her with contacting the park 'Rangers', as they so like to call themselves. I think it's safe to say that the call didn't necessarily go well the first time, when they happened to be absent. The second time, someone picked up, but were quick to inform Master that they were new to the office and couldn't provide much information, instead opting to take Master's name, with much difficulty, and call her back later. As they say, third time lucky; they managed to call back before the end of lunchtime and it was confirmed that we didn't have to book the area to use it. What a hassle for nothing!
As Friday rolled around, we were all rather excited however it was a shame that DisneyLoverMolly had to drop out due to family commitments. I must mention that the weather was most kind to us; having been forecasted as heavy rain for the duration of the event, we were instead treated to a fair amount of cloud, which gave the perfect atmosphere for the setting. It was only when we were on our way home that it got drizzly.
Through the whirlwind of events, there were some stand-out moments, such as ArwaChihuahua accidentally stepping on her bag and bursting the bag of crisps that she had inside, Sharah's character attempting to revive Wicks' character, a rather peculiar ritual, and somehow Cap and Master always ended up playing dead on the ground. Along the way, we managed to spot a large group of Nordic hikers roaming through the park, and also confused the heck out of some locals who were having lunch at the café during a 'zombie chase/attack'.
All in all, a jolly good time was had by everyone. To read the full synopsis of events, check out the official LARP report.
Aside from Friday, we experienced a few changes to the lunch hall this week, such as the table arrangement seeming to be rotated by 90°. Also, a few of us reported a strange food option that was offered, consisting of a sausage just sitting on top of a slice of pizza. How usual...
Anyway, until next week, have a good one ;)
