Carlisle Indoor Go-Karting

On Saturday 5 September, twenty of us went down to the Carlisle Indoor Karting arena for a Gran Prix style tournament to determine who should be crowned the Karting champion… for a day.

Initially we had a league table based on total points received depending on the position finished in each race. We each got five races to compete in with six laps of the circuit each time. After our points were tallied up, the top five scoring individuals went on to race in the final round, declaring Chris Forrester-Gill (Gemma’s Husband) the champion.

I think Louise deserves a mention here as despite not making the final, she did manage to break the female lap time record by just under 2 seconds which is quite impressive, considering only a few of the guys managed to beat her time.

Everyone who attended has told me they thoroughly enjoyed the day and insist that we make this a regular social event for all those at David Allen & Co.

Kevin and myself had a word with the owner who agreed that if we made this a quarterly event he would charge us £20 rather than £25 each time we attended.

So watch this space as the plan is for another social Christmas time. I’m sure you will agree that it is a great team building exercise and I recommend everyone give it a try at some point.
