We all know British weather is unpredictable at best. This may be a fact but it is also said that bad weather conditions won’t dampen the British spirit.
Look for example at the ghastly weather conditions on D Day – heavy rains were falling from grey skies and particularly large waves came crashing down on the Normandy beachfront – but nevertheless, Britain stayed focussed, used the weather to their advantage and won the war.
Team events are mostly seen as a fun day out, as opposed to a military operation. However, do your teams have what it take to come up trumps when rain comes crashing down?
Team building venues all over Britain share the same quandary – what will happen if the weather takes a turn for the worse?
Here are a few things to ask the venue before putting pen to paper:
• Ask your chosen venue about both indoor and outdoor activities – Choose your indoor activity options in advance to ensure a smooth transition in case of bad weather .
• Ask to see the indoor alternative – It is best to ensure the venue will be able to accommodate all guests indoors for a team event in case of undesired weather conditions.
• Ask about weather proof gear and shelters – Should the team be up for a challenge, make sure there is sufficient weather proof equipment to continue with outdoor team building.
• Read the finer details – Consider the team building venue’s cancellation policy, and pay special attention to clauses where they may be unable to host an event due to adverse weather conditions.
