Today’s news that Honda is to close its UK base for four months after Friday’s shifts are over is surely a massive blow to those involved.
The halt will affect just over 3,000 of the 4,000 employees, who will receive their full basic pay for the first two months, but around 60% thereafter. The shutdown at its Swindon base is thought to be one of the longest in Britain’s recent industrial history.
More doom and gloom… or an opportunity for people to evaluate their personal situation and set some new goals for their future?
Who knows, but we were really interested to hear from one of our freelance Team Building Activity Instructors who’s turning the situation on its head and using his difficult situation at Honda to get out and about, keep busy and help to support other teams on their team building activities and corporate events.
Half full… or half empty…
Well, James is certainly half full and in a strange kind of way looking forward to the next few months and getting out on more team building events with Kaboura.
We do, of course, wish him all the best - long may that positive ‘half full’ attitude continue…
Phew, we have some great news and we can all sleep peacefully in our beds once more…
Dr Evil has been successfully caught by staff from Network Rail as part of their team building activity at Legoland this week!
The team of 25 staff successfully undertook our unique Spy team building activity which resulted in the baddies being caught and the trap being successfully set and triggered. Hooray!
And we’re pleased to report that the established partnership between Kaboura Events and Legoland will continue to save the world over the coming months as more and more teams take advantage of this great team building event.

Okay, hands up… Who’s already broken their New Year’s Resolutions in your team?
Here at Kaboura Towers, the main resolution seems to be one of losing weight in 2009 and this got us thinking of ways that we could introduce exercise into some of your team building activities and team events.
Okay, so some of our team building events have a range of more physical activities such as saving the world from Dr Evil as part of our Operation Blackout team building event… Or by graduating from Space Cadets to Astronauts as part of our Race for Space team building day. But what about something for those people that want to stay indoors at this time of year? (more…)

Complete satisfaction with your event… or the next event is free!
Here at Kaboura Events we’ve been working hard to develop a meaningful and worthwhile team building ’Events Guarantee’ to provide our clients with total satisfaction.
Over the last three months we’ve consulted with clients, previous enquirers, suppliers, staff and friends to develop our unique corporate Event Guarantee which we are now offering on all our team building activities and events. We believe that our Event Guarantee is pretty unique and successfully addresses the points that you find important when planning and running your team building days, team activities and corporate events.

Morning!
We’re currently in the process of re-designing and developing our team building events web site and would welcome your views! We’re aiming to launch our new site in March and are working with a web design company right now to bring you a fresh new look to the site. If you’ve got any great ideas for things you’d like to see included or for specific ideas on our team building events please do leave us a message.
The new offering will list all our team building events and team building activities and also provide clients with unique log in areas where photos of their team building days will be uploaded following their event.
Please do let us have your thoughts and ideas!
Recession, Recession, Recession! Who else is bored of hearing about the recession?
Well here at Kaboura Events we’re taking it all in our stride and it’s business as usual. Even the recent prediction that as many as four out of ten businesses might not survive the current recession hasn’t dulled our enthusiasum because, to us, that means that six out of ten will survive - and we intend to be here for many more years to come!
Clearly people will feel the pinch during the coming year which is why we’re currently working on a selection of ‘credit crunching’ team building events that we can provide to help motivate, bond and strengthen teams during the coming year. Keep ‘em peeled for details…
Happy New Year!
