Patrick Foster...Tough Guy?????

Patrick Foster, Surveyor at the Severn Partnership does Tough Guy

Congratulations to Patrick Foster, Surveyor at the Severn Partnership for the successful completion (survival) of Tough Guy: the safest most dangerous event in the World. The event that takes place once a year just outside Wolverhampton involves almost 5,000 people trying to finish the 10 mile crazy obstacle course.


The start of the insanity that is Tough Guy

The course that involves, freezing cold water obstacles, electrified fences, pitch black tunnels, mud, mud and more mud has reportedly never been conquered. Patrick managed to finish the course in just under 3 hours and 40 minutes raising over £200 for charity along with his brother Tim Foster, a medical student based in London.

Patrick = Tough Guy!!!
Confined Spaces Training!!!

River Survey Anyone?

What'er Day - Severn go Rafting

Severn White Water Rafting - I Think!!!
As part of a company training and team building day, Severn Partnership staff took to the river Tryweryn with life jackets and paddles for White Water Rafting.  After travelling to Bala, Wales all rafters were required to squeeze into wetsuits, some with more ease than others.

Serious Rafters!!!
Extreme Rafting!!!
After splitting into 3 groups, Severn were taught all the skills needed to survive the dangerous Welsh rapids and took to it like a duck to water (apologises for the pun).
Severn Partnership Post-Wetsuits

Severn Partnership Pre-Wetsuits
All rafts managed to get 4 runs down the rapids with only 2 men overboard.  
Special mention goes to Tom Thorn who found great difficulty in getting into the raft, falling in at the start and Martin Oakes the victim of a blind-sided raft-ram between 2 rafts.
Messing about on the River

Hysterical Laughter

Rafting was a reward to all staff at the Severn Partnership for all their effort and good work for a year well done.

Next up Christmas Party, watch this space...



Severn Partnership in action!!!

Arthritis Research UK Golf Day - Severn Partnership

Severn's Ryder Cup Team
The Severn Partnership attended the Arthritis Research UK Golf Day 2011, held at Oswestry Golf Club, Shropshire.  The team included Mark Combes, Jamie Price, Anett Dude and Mark King.

Unfortunately Severn's team failed to bring back the trophy, but hopefully this is just a stepping stone for the big Shropshire Major of the year, the RICS Lionheart Golf Day at 'The Shropshire'.

If you are interested, there are still limited places left.  For more information please follow this link RICS Golf Day in aid of LionHeart or contact Mark Combes on 0844 880 8247.

Bala Weekend - 40 years of Surveying



Partnership surveyors, family and friends got together for a Summer BBQ / Mountain biking (or carrying) / Kayaking at lake Bala this year to celebrate 40 years in Surveying for Director Richard Otto. The sun came out (for once this Summer) and even allowed a spot of creative engineering design using the world recognised technique of spaghetti and Jelly babies (see above !)
