Well having worked extensively with the Joint-Venture business team for over the past couple of years, I felt privileged to have been extended an invitation to visit Ascot Races - for their Summer team build. 

It was a good day out, and although it wasn't the main Race Day on Friday, 23rd July (Royal Ascot was a few weeks previous, and the George VI race on the Saturday, 24th July), the session was still great fun!

It was quite easy to get there, travelling from Haywards Heath to Clapham, and then Clapham across to Ascot Main Station.

Didn't win a thing - I'm pretty crap at betting on horses - but the Champagne and Gunniess (which became a Black Velvet in my stomach!) was fabulous!

We will all merry at the end of the afternoon - although a big no-no from me was not eating breakfast or lunch - whoopsie... :)  Luckily it was a Friday, so no-work day on the Saturday!   Phew!
