Memories of last summer...

During the summer months when school and colleges are on holiday we run both children's and adults Summer Schemes.
Last year at the adult scheme talked about life in Medieval times.


As you can see from the picture we made suits of armour, our steads, lances and shields and staged a mock joust on our front lawn!!

There were 4 Knights, each with a herald to announce them (complete with cardboard trumpet and coat of arms) and a squire, we had a crowd of 'peasants' dressed up to watch and cheer!
Our knights had targets on their shields and paint on the end of their lances, we jousted for points!

Our Chief Exec, Operations and service managers were the royal family, we decorated our gazebo as a tent for them to sit in!

We invited our office staff to come and watch,
it was SO much fun,
It's great when something brings everyone together,
so that we remember we're a working 'family'
as well as a business!

The only problem is that next year we have to do something that's just as much fun! We're talking about possible themes at the moment, look out for lots of photo's over the summer months!

Everything was made from recycled stuff... cardboard boxes, fabric remnants from a local curtain shop, old Christmas decorations, mop handles!!!

A couple of takes on a Knights introduction!
