[shirt]

late notice, but i'm going after work [only got asked 5mins ago] if anyone needs some stress relief and a punch up

I am going the the Autodrome for their karting on Thursday afternoon and then laserquest afterwards...part of our corporate "away" day!

I think we will be using the indoor track on Thursday, pity as the outdoor one looks much better.

you need better corporate days. come to think of it, i need to get on some of ours!

a few weeks ago, some of our guys went on a team building day. 18laps of the autodrome each in the single seaters [one guys stuffed it into the barriers!] and then lunch at atmosphere. much jam.

[tamago]

Very good fun and well run with new facilities! Actually won with my fastest lap of 46.8 seconds. Not the fastest lap, that was .2 secs faster. Car stalled on the grid and started last so had to push the office manager and the accounts people out of the way to claim victory. Laserquest after that. I was a hunted man.

I think they have a new layout indoor don't they?

Got an email about it a week or two ago

i'm told the karts will be getting some maintenance now the season is starting. with the weather on the turn maybe we should organise another race night?

Sounds like a plan. Is there any way we could book in advance as a "party" or something so that we're all on at the same time and so there's not too much hanging around?

Some chips and sausage rolls would be nice too.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm an idiot organising things and will feck it up.

I nominate Del, given the treatment he gave me on the last lap last timeout.

That would be hugely preferable.

Harris can join in the fun this time as well.

Edit - Chilli for organiser? That other thread suggests he may have some spare time on his hands soon!

I'm in AD from Sunday afternoon until Weds night for my show then have tourists here.

Shameless plug for my reason to be in AD

www.internetshow.ae free to attend and could be relevant to some of you

[Chilli]

I'm pretty free most shcool nights, but will refrain from beers.....unless I book the following day off. Be warned, if that happens I will strongly reject anyone's wishes to go home and not be out for the duration.
