Camp Malta

Your mission if you choose to accept it? Graduate from Camp Malta...

Once a year all Quantum EMEA sales and marketing staff are invited to the annual sales conference held somewhere in Europe. This year it was held at the Radisson SAS Golden Sands Resort & Spa in Malta.

The theme for the weekend was 'Quantum Commandos' and we were instructed to graduate from 'Camp Malta'. As you can see we were kitted out in military gear for a weekend full of sun, sea, sand, assignments and much merriment!

We were placed in platoons and this was the 'deadly' blue Platoon ready to do battle! Abu Ghraib Steve, Rich 'the sun tan kid', Joe Dietl the 5th 'German sausage eating' Beatle and 'Give em Hell'-gado providing some great evening entertainment on the decks. Don't we look scary? Whooo...!!

One of the assignments on Friday was sailing and the weather was awesome! A little too awesome as I got really sun burnt! I looked like a traffic cone for the next 3 days and then like Parmesan cheese for the next week as it all peeled off....nice!

On Saturday we had product training all day (yawn) and a big gala 'graduation' dinner in the evening to celebrate the weekend! I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time at the dinner as nobody remembered much of it the next day!!

All in all it was a great weekend (if a little short) and I'm sure I'll go back again one day as Malta and the Maltese were all good....
