Viking Challenge 2009
‘The Men of Gwent’ were victorious in four of the six events. Full marks gained for their performance in ‘The Viking Boat Race’, ‘The Climbing Wall’, ‘The Viking Welly Wangin’ and ‘The Axe Throwing’ put them at the front of the pack when it came to the ‘Assault Course’ finale.
Outstanding arrows from Henry’s Angels kept them in the hunt for the top spot only to lose time on a photo shoot at the sheep pen on the Assault Course. Henry had kept his team motivated throughout the challenge, by leading his troops through thick and thin and putting himself at the front ofall activities, especially the easy climbing wall.
An inability to focus on the skills involved in the challenge meant that ‘The Bargoed Rangers’ had trouble keeping in touch with the front-runners. Weak upper body strength saw them fade away during the welly wangin and with a pitiful, sickening effort in the Boat Race left way out of touch.

Welcome
Everybody is busy preparing for the new season with lots of maintenance going on. Rhys and Jon are stuck in the warm office slaving over computers while Gethin leads the troops through the minefield of maintenance. The new building behind the staff accommodation block is being prepared and the foundations are being finished in readiness for the steel structure. Photos will follow soon!
Various groups are enjoying activities throughout the winter. Birthday parties of all ages have been enjoying the cold waters of the Assault Course. The first weekend in January saw Morfa Bay welcome a 60th birthday party for an aging rocker who wanted to turn the Centre into a rock n roll all nighter.
