Participants are divided into teams: M16 & CIA v SMASH & SCEPTRE
There will be opportunities for double agents who will start off as sleepers in their teams, but will be activated during the day to spy on their fellow team members and sabotage their plans.
These agents will be approached early on in the event and will be recruited for both idealistic and financial reasons.
Blackmail could be another factor, so any background information on participants would be useful.
The Objective - World Domination: Each event scores gold bars that can be used to buy countries displayed on the large World map in the main safety area.
Time required:
1/2 day, 1 day and 2 day events can be tailored to meet your requirements.
Please contact the Office on 01580 879614 to discuss the events you would like to include in your 00.7 Bond Day. Typical events are described below.
Driving two Honda Pilot rally karts, team members will have the opportunity for practice sessions before competing against the clock.
With up to 40hp in the back, a full race harness and helmets, these fully automatic machines are ideal for plenty of opposite lock sideways driving.
The finale is a white knuckle figure of eight challenge.
THE DEADLY COCKTAIL DRIVE
Using Quad Bikes or 4x4 vehicles, team members have to search our purpose-built “Jungle” area to collect as many ingredients as possible within the time allowed in order to concoct an earth shattering cocktail that will not only blow your mind, but also the opposition if they ever get a sniff of it (with or without a cyanide capsule).
As Bond is also a wine connoisseur there will be a selection of fine wines to discover. Cocktails will be mixed at the end of the day with extra gold bars for the most appropriate name.
Q's CONUNDRUM
Q has had his budget slashed: out go the Aston Martins and other exotica, so this one is definitely for your eyes only.
Teams have to build one of these Gallic icons (aka the Citroen 2CV) using a wide variety of parts. Despite it looking as though it has finally met its maker, all the parts fit somewhere - or do they? Once built, the team outwit Cristatos' henchmen around the hairpin bends and then dismantle it, before the bad guys catch up with this little beauty.
LICENSED TO KILL: WITH GUN, KNIFE OR BARE HANDS
Following M’s confiscation of 00.7’s Beretta, he was issued with the Walther PPK. Whilst we do not use this piece of kit, we do use the Walther CP88 air pistols with ruby dot sights. Just get the dot onto the target and then gently squeeze the trigger.
Alternatively the Paintball Marker Guns can be used to very satisfactorily obliterate the targets by covering them in paint.
The better the shooting, the more gold bars for the team.
Using Quad Bikes team members have to find 16 points around the 250 acre site using local maps. These are located adjacent to the 8 miles of private internal tracks, roadways and headlands. Each point will have a question relating to the gadgets used in the various films.
Half the team will be out with the instructor at any one time, whilst the others are back at HQ researching the answers. They will be in contact with each other by radio.
Swamp Crossing – unlike in “Dr No” where 007 and Honey Ryder hide underwater and breathe through reeds to escape the deadly Doctor’s henchmen, here the objective is to keep above the water, in order to collect and defuse a bomb.
Raft building skills come to the fore, but Q has very little input. At least there are none of Dr Kananga’s crocodiles around looking for an early lunch – or are there?
ODDJOB'S BOWLER
Oddjob is very particular on how his hats are stacked. The smaller ones must be on the top and the larger ones on the bottom. Even steel rimmed ones can lose their shape.
The team has to move them from one hat peg to another, without spoiling the order.
Get it right and he will be your faithful servant forever and even carry your golf clubs. Get it wrong and woe-betide your marble statues. Remember what he did to the golf ball? Upset him and he could do the same to yours – just the thought makes your eyes water!
Using Little Nellie’s grown up brother, a 4-seater Bell Jet Ranger piloted by one of our most highly trained and experienced operatives (Pussy Galore?) the team has the following objectives:
to fly over and protect their main HQ
to infiltrate and destroy the enemy’s main bases
Using large scale tourist maps of SE England, a list of cryptic clues and visitor brochures, each team has to plan their route in order to fly over home and enemy bases as well as many point scoring castles and historic features as possible in the time allowed. Flight can be either 20 minutes (34 miles) or 30 minutes (50 miles).

THE Q BOATS
Whilst we cannot offer you a chase up the Thames in Bond’s Q Boat in hot pursuit of the Cigar Girl, we can come close, by using 2 ex-Camel Trophy boats off Eastbourne. Using the Jet Ranger, teams have to fly down to the coast where they will be briefed on the mission, having first solved the clues to find their boats hidden somewhere in the Marina. Once kitted up in dry suits (weather dependent) teams have to locate 2 buoys anchored somewhere off the coast. Travelling at speeds of up to 35 knots they then have to collect the attached clues in order to find the floating remains of an enemy agent. Having recovered the plans to destroy Hastings with a thermo-nuclear device it is then a race against time to find the device and defuse it, before heading back to Eastbourne for a Dry Martini, or perhaps a hot cup of tea.
This option is ideal for smaller groups and the time required is half a day. If “The World is Not Enough” for you this may be just what the doctor ordered: lots of fast and furious action with plenty of sea air.
