Summer Party 2019
Suna Summer Party 2019
13.7.19
Ah, that time of year again when we book some wonderful venue, get the glad rags on and quaff champagne.
Sorry, scrap that. That’s not quite ‘us’.
it’s that time of year when we get creative, book a mixologist, commandeer the car park and party like it’s 2019.
There has been a lot going on behind the scenes in the office for the last few weeks, Four intrepid volunteers ‘volunteered’ to organise this years #SunaSummerParty. Then they dressed a director up in some rather strange get-up and set the tone for the day.
Meet ‘One-Take-Helen’, making her acting debut as everything from a Nutty Professor, to a Dalmation and then to her true identity, Ab Fab Helen, which she claims was a character but we all know better…..
The team were set a variety of out and about tasks…
from “GET A PICTURE OF YOUR TEAM WITH KIMBY THE ALPACA…”
Which entailed a trip to neighbouring Deen City Farm. With varying results…Team 2 won that one, obvs.
to “GET A PICTURE OF YOUR TEAM WITH A DOG…”
Team 1 were very scared of the nasty barking security dog. Team 2’s dog was very scared of Team 2. Team 3 cheated…
WIth a bit of “GET PICTURES TO SPELL S.U.N.A USING LETTERS & SIGNAGE OUTSIDE” Thrown in…
Team 1 missed the point slightly, or couldn’t get access to Photoshop in the time allotted…
But the finale/piece de resistance was the final task, “VIDEO YOUR TEAM ACTING OUT A FAMOUS MOVIE SCENE OF YOUR CHOICE…”
Which, frankly, resulted in some cinematic history being made.
Team 1. Short, sweet and to the point. Need a clue? Clark is channeling a bit of Leo Di Caprio…
Team 2, bringing Dean Swayze and Baby Abbie together…
Team 3 took it to TKMaxx, got dressed up for the part, filmed their bit and then didn’t buy the red dress, the tuxedo or the expensive necklace. Please note the laugh is real. Ops Abbie is actually Julia Roberts. .
Other activities for the day included…
“YOU WILL FIND A BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENT AND SOME DECORATING SUPPLIES - GET CREATIVE!!”
With a bit of Greyson Perry inspired decorating, these beautiful cherubs were transformed, apologies for Team 1’s slightly pornographic submission. Concentrate instead of Team 2’s inspired mini Suna Tote bag…
“YOU WILL FIND A STASH OF NEWSPAPER - USING ONLY THE SUPPLIES PROVIDED MAKE A FULL SET OF PPE.”
For any clients out there, don’t worry, we wont let Team 3’s Sharon on site in this set of PPE. Pineapple glasses and a pink flower garland just won’t cut the mustard H&S-wise. Whereas Alysha and Dean will obviously be ticking all the induction boxes with their full set of hard hat, hi vis, boots and gloves. Seeing out of the glasses might be an issue, though.
DRAW A TEAM PORTRAIT
We challenge you to name the team members. Answers on a postcard please.
then there was the guessing game to try and figure out who would own up to these first albums…
Ah, if they’d known we would be putting this on the blog, would they have been quite so honest. Slade, Toni Basil and Aqua fans, stand up please. Then leave the room…
…AND going to these first gigs…
We are going to make Ops Abbie ET form her own tribute band next year…
And in the trivia quiz…
We found out that rizzo has 395 spots (Helen counted them) and the combined age of the whole Suna team is 605 years old. Jeez….
The day ended with a pretty impressive mixology masterclass BY the guys from TT Liquor…a proper ‘party in the (car) park’
Cocktails all round….Cheers all!
Happy Summer…hic…..
