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.

All participants must wear sturdy footwear and warm, if possible waterproof, clothing. During winter months hats and gloves are a must! Bring a complete change of warm kit & footwear. THIS IS ESSENTIAL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR!

Participants can bring packed lunches, clearly marked, or use our barbecue facilities by prior arrangement. These facilities are free of charge, but can cooks please bring their own charcoal and cooking utensils! We can help you to light the barbecue. Arena can cater if required (see below under Optional Extras). The event lasts for 3 hours and if you wish to eat afterwards please allow a maximum of 45 minutes extra for collection purposes. Please note that parents/teachers are responsible for their group during this time on site.

We have unlimited fresh water for drinking so please refrain from bringing bottled water - you will significantly reduce the need for recycling and help save the planet too!

BBQS & PICNICS - Recycling the Recyclable - Removing the Rest

It is the responsibility of the parent/teacher to ensure that the picnic/barbecue area is cleared up after use. 

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.
