CCC get the ball rolling!
Here at Cotswold Conference Centre we have teamed up with Vital Events and Leisure, a local business who operate ‘Sphereing’, to offer this extreme activity rolling down the Cotswold escarpment - on the Farncombe Estate.
Nick Akerman explained: We have the perfect terrain for this activity. I’ve had a go and it really is fantastic fun. I’m sure conference delegates will love it. 2 people climb inside the ball wearing a full harness, and are attached inside the Sphere. As you roll down the hill (really fast) you are going round and round with the ball. Definitely NOT a gentle ride!
As part of a training course or other business event at CCC, customers can book for groups of 10 or more people to fit in with their itinerary.
To find out more - register for our free Open Breakfast Morning on Thursday 21 October as part of National Meetings Week - for more details about the Breakfast event sign up online or call Rachael on 0845 230 8580.
