Sports Day

At every company-off-site gathering we focus on sport, but this year we embraced our autumn event fully in the athletic spirit.

On a sunny day we met at the picturesque Jasenka resort near Nové Město n.M. to spend an afternoon full of fun, competition and team-spirit.

Cycling group pedalled to the venue by bikes and, as is their custom, they took a longer route to rack up as many kilometres as possible.

Our HR department had arranged a rich variety of activities for the afternoon:

• Nordic walking proved the perfect warm-up – a walk through woodland terrain, together in rhythm and at a pace that everyone enjoyed.
• At the tennis court there was even a queue, yet everyone got a game and no match went by without smiles between rallies.
• The volleyball players showed the greatest endurance – playing until dusk with full commitment. There were fast sprints and tactical sets, and the atmosphere was fantastic.
• At the ping-pong table a lively battle broke out – even those who don’t normally play walked away with smiles and the desire to repeat it.
• For variety there was also pétanque – ideal for moments of relaxation between sporting performances and for chatting with colleagues.
• Teqball, frisbee and traditional football had been prepared but went unused – everyone was fully occupied with the other sports.

During the afternoon refreshments were of course available, and we concluded the day by the fire with sausages on sticks. By the fire we shared stories of the sporting matches, relaxed together and agreed that it’s not about athletic performance, but about about shared moments beyond the usual work-frame.

We thank all participants for the superb atmosphere and we’re already looking forward to the next similar event!
