Running Accountants!

   Taupo – a beautiful lake, amazing views of Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, central to the North Island and outdoor central for tourists and locals a like.  And for some strange reason, thousands of people go there once a year to run/walk around it!  CTCW are sending two (!!!!) teams down this weekend to participate in one of the several huge events that Taupo puts on.  We have over 27 staff, family and friends going down to slug it out during the night and complete the 155km course sometime on Saturday afternoon.  Needless to say, there may be a small but happy party following the efforts.  Again – we are raising money for the South Auckland Health Foundation in our last big drive for the financial year.  Feel free to make some donations to a very worthwhile cause – making Accountants sweat!  Email Diane on mclaughlin@ctcw.co.nz she will be happy to take your money on behalf of SAHF.

Morning Tea Threatens Waistlines

Waistlines are constantly under threat at Campbell Tyson Cooper White. Due to the culinary expertise of many of our staff events such as the recently held International Food Day have resulted in sumptuous feasts being prepared for morning tea. Such was the enthusiasm of the staff involved, lunch and afternoon tea were also catered for. Our active Social Club organise regular events, which combined with the usual birthday party shouts and length of service celebrations result in some pretty amazing morning teas.

As the impact of this wonderful food has become all too obvious for some of our staff (including the writer) other initiatives have been thrown into full drive by our staff. Our recent session with John Shackleton has resulted with more than 50% of the staff deciding upon “body shape” goals and the birth of dieting and exercise clubs amongst staff. We are in the process of organising our Round the Lake relay team for February next year as well as other fitness events. We also have budding half iron men, although this should be referred to as iron women as we are yet to have a man take up the challenge!

Needless to say, our staff are incredibly active, be this working with our clients, on the social scene, or involved in personal development.

Catch you next week.
