One of the highlights of the Far'n'Beyond calendar is the WorkWell Summer BBQ, and we weren't disappointed. The sun came out for an afternoon of food, fun, and activities.
We are fortunate to be based close to the M1 on the outskirts of Leeds, surrounded by fields, a duck pond with little ducklings, and plenty of rabbits and squirrels. It genuinely does make a difference to how we feel.

Although it is only a short walk between our creative studio and the Vault, where all our logistics and fulfilment are based, those steps are also a great way to break up the day.
In addition to the lovely food and drink on offer, this year's WorkWell Summer BBQ included several different activities, including target football and the exhausting challenge of a Gladiators-style inflatable knockout battle.
Adam didn't manage to stand up on the podium, Laura crouched, and Millie bounced around whilst Chris had the balance of a ninja and knocked us all off each podium before we got close to steadying ourselves.
Leigh, Gavin, and Nathan yet again mastered Clay Pigeon Shooting, while Kate took one go at learning Archery before achieving Robin Hood status!
Producing a wide range of summer branded products, including our highly popular Custom Printed Deckchairs, Branded Event Cornholes, Printed Parasols and Outdoor Promotional Flags, it was great to actually be out in the sunshine, enjoying the best of the British Summertime.
Abi and Gavin are still bitter about last year's Jenga, so they were separated. Laura took on Abi, with Penny and Nikki supervising. Becky, Millie, and Chris enjoyed their civilised game of Connect Four along with the other sports, although we ran out of time for Crazy Golf.
Although not all of us could attend this year's Summer Barbeque due to various commitments, it was nice for us to spend time together doing something different and connecting with other companies and the people who make our offices as lovely as they are.
We look forward to our next social event and will be practising our Archery, ready for competition next year!
