Ulti Day is always a highly anticipated event on the Ulti Calendar for good reason. And after a crazy busy 2022, it’s fair to say the team were all eager to catch up with one another and enjoy a well-deserved day out!
So, to round out the year and ring in Summer in style, we all descended upon Christchurch and wreaked havoc for a day (well, something close to havoc anyways!)
With the logistical fun of flying our team from near and far aside (no mean feat!), the team eventually made it to our Ulti Southern Office, full of energy and ready for anything.
But first, our family photo – meet the smiling faces of our friendly team! 😁
This completed, a delicious morning tea from Couplands Bakery was speedily devoured, before we clambered aboard a bus and headed into the city centre. The day really kicked off now with the team split into groups, each competing for the UltiMate Trophy. 🏆
Let loose in the city centre, we had to complete as many challenges as possible set by the team at Corporate Challenge. From locating iconic monuments to finding a couple of coasters (who knew coasters could be so hard to find!), getting ourselves tied in knots (literally), telling a joke to strangers, doing a random act of kindness, and kissing a fish…’teamwork’ was the key word.
Many shenanigans later, and our sense of direction and map-reading skills sufficiently put to the test, we finished up pumped, if somewhat puffed and footsore. Hunger now calling, our next destination saw us at the Christchurch Adventure Park for a buffet BBQ lunch – what a feast!
And for this year’s grand finale, we took the chairlifts up to the Port Hills lookout – the incredible views from Lyttleton Port to the Alps, sure made for a perfect ending!
Overall, it was an epic day and let’s just say, we now know why the Southern Team are like they are… 😜 Bring on Ulti Day 2023!
