As part of our ongoing social activities we try to organise regular fun team building events for all our staff. This time around we organised a medieval themed archery event together with a medieval themed BBQ (we were influenced by the fact that one of us likes to take part in medieval re-enactments!). We also made the unexpected discovery that we had an actual amateur archer who started working with us - were quite surprised to see that someone was going to bring along their own bow!

Being held during the World Cup, some football fanatics within our midst just could not handle the fact that they were "far away" in the middle of "nowhere" (this is quite relative, especially since the development team is based in Malta - which is tiny by most comparison scales) and thus may have run the risk of missing out on the football match for that evening (England - Algeria was on that evening...). So, being IT people, a laptop with mobile WiFi was quickly rigged up to stream the game live - not exactly medieval but the World Cup just could not be missed!

Our hosts, a group of people who regularly do medieval re-enactments, prepared a delicious BBQ complete with a roasted hog on a stick (looking exactly like the Asterix and Obelix cartoons) and simple hearty food that everyone loves (and with vegetarian options too!)
Enjoy the summer weather while it lasts!
