Over the summer the first ever Let’s Play Staff Cup will take place. It will run in a similar fashion to the VC’s Cup held on the Canterbury campus, whereby departments compete against each other in a different sporting activity each month, in order to be crowned overall winner.

The competition will take place on the first Thursday of every month, beginning the 2nd July.

The competition will start at approximately 13:15 and end by 13:50 at the latest to ensure all staff members have time to change and eat in their lunch hour.

The dates of the competition and the individual sports are as follows:

• 2nd July – Volleyball (Minimum 6 players required per fixture)
• 6th August- Petanque (Minimum 4 players required per fixture)
• 3rd September- Sports Day (Minimum 1 male and 1 female participant per competition, 5 competitions, participants can compete in more than one competition)
• 10th September – Pub Quiz and Presentation (Minimum 3 participants)

Weather permitted all competitions will take place outside on the Rochester Lawn although the Greenwich Hall has been booked in case of adverse weather conditions.

Each team will receive points based on where they place in each competition. The team with the most points after all four competitions (Pub Quiz included) will win the overall Cup.

All staff are encouraged to come along and support at these events and if there are departments who haven’t already entered but would like to, please contact Francesca Plom via email or on 01227 824081.

If successful we hope to make this a bigger annual event for all Medway staff to enjoy throughout the year.
