Date set for the 2014 Taunton Business Games launch
Taunton’s newest corporate event, the Taunton Business Games, will be officially launched at a free event at Somerset County Cricket Ground on Tuesday, 25thFebruary.
The Taunton Business Games will involve teams from local companies being pitted against each other in a series of events, including Mini Olympics, Golf and a Pub Quiz.
The February event will kick things off by giving interested businesses an opportunity to meet the UK Business Games Ambassador, Olympian Jo Pavey, and get an overview of the planned Games plus information on signing up.
The evening will take place in The County Room of the Colin Atkinson Pavilion and hosts, Somerset County Cricket Club, will be offering wine and nibbles to attendees.
Debbi Moore, UK Business Games Co-ordinator, who will be hosting the event said “The Business Games has been hugely successful in Exeter for six years and we are delighted to be bringing the Games to Taunton.
“It’s a great opportunity for Businesses to encourage teamwork, meet other local businesses and raise money for local charities.
“Our launch events are always well attended and we look forward to welcoming Taunton businesses to come and find out more about the forthcoming 2014 Games and meet our Ambassador, Olympian Jo Pavey.”
The 2014 Taunton Business Games promises to be a great event – mixing fun with raising money for worthwhile causes.
