Junior Team Tasks
Duration: 3 Hours    Ages: 12 to 18

We have taken many of the ideas used for Management Training and by the Armed Forces developed them for younger participants (12-18 years). Team Tasks are designed to develop an individual’s ability to work together as a group when faced with various scenarios often unrelated to normal everyday life.

Participants are divided into groups, and each group is briefed on the objectives of the particular task, the materials available, and the ground rules. During the plan forming stage we look for individual skills such as initiative, leadership, team building, creativity, communication, flexibility, decision making and time management.

Events include Assault Course, Sheep Pen, Minefield, Pot on a Pole, Spider's Web, Canal Crossing and Ravine Crossing, Raising the Flag, Discs, 4/5 Person Skis, Fred’s Cadillac and Blind Alley.

As well as being great fun, the competitive element and teamwork development will be of great benefit in the future. These sessions are ideally suited for Schools, Youth Clubs, Scout Groups and similar organisations.

ARENA PURSUITS is located near Flimwell in East Sussex (21 miles south of the M25).  It is half a mile from the main London-Hastings road, and is within easy reach of London and all the major centres in Sussex, Surrey and Kent.  The site is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty overlooking Bewl Water.

Supervision and Safety:

Strict attention has been paid to the development of a safe environment for activity programmes. Arena Pursuits provides requires 1 adult for up to every 10 participants to accompany the group. There is no charge for adult supervisors.

If you wish to picnic/barbeque, please allow a maximum of 45 minutes at the end of your game for collection purposes. We do not charge for the use of the barbeque, but please note that you will need to bring your own food, charcoal and cooking utensils. Arena may be able to cater if required (see below under Optional Extras).

Please Note: BBQS & PICNICS - Recycling the Recyclable - Removing the Rest

As always, we are happy to offer our visitors the use of the undercover BBQ and Picnic Area on the day of their event. However, we cannot cope with the enormous amount of rubbish which gets left after the parties - on busy weekends we can have up to 20 black bags to deal with. We have bins on site to recycle glass, clean plastic bottles and aluminium cans. For everything else – PLEASE TAKE IT HOME!!

It is the responsibility of the parent/teacher to ensure that the picnic/barbecue area is cleared up after use. Party Poppers are not encouraged!

Booking:

In order to book your Junior Team Tasks event, please telephone the Office on 01580 879614 giving us:

• the date of the proposed event
• the number of children in your group

Once you have spoken to Arena and provisionally booked your date and times, please print out and complete the booking form and return it within 7 days enclosing £10 deposit per child by cheque, made out to ARENA PURSUITS LTD, and the name and telephone number of accompanying adult. The balance will then be collected on arrival/departure. We accept credit and debit cards.

Coaches:

We encourage larger groups to use mini buses but if coaches are used there are double gates 1/3rd of a mile down Rosemary Lane off the A21, which lead directly to the safety area with adequate parking and turning. This is preferable to coming down Rosemary Lane from Ticehurst/Flimwell end.
