Christmas Karting

For our Christmas party this year, I’d arranged to go go-karting; as I’d become fed up with the traditional practice of going for a posh meal then ditching everyone afterwards. It was fairly pricey but it seemed to be well organized and they’d even arranged a trophy for the winner. But for a Christmas social, it wasn’t the best. I’d already doe a long shift at work and no-one seemed to be willing to take control to help me relax and get away from the afternoon drive. It was therefore a mad dash to get to the venue on time; but despite missing the turning I still managed to arrive before my manager. It was tight to park owing to the space that we had to leave for the storage containers that seemed to be dotted about the yard; and the track didn’t seem to be that big. We did get a lot of safety gear for our money; and the technical details were spot on, but there wasn’t really any opportunity for the whole team to socialise; as the second team had to climb into their karts ready for the next race while the first team were out racing. I also didn’t succeed in overtaking anyone; which affected my overall time for the tournament.
