Equitas Car Rally 2021
Earlier this year Equitas residents participated in the first ever Equitas Car Rally. It was a fantastic day full of fun and challenges, food and prizes!
We started the day (it was a bit wet but the day improved from then) by meeting at a park with the driver for each team racing to get to a place where the instruction were kept, untying the instruction bags and reading the information before setting out to find what we needed .
There were around 60 things we needed to find and provide evidence of (photograph or physical evidence) for example a native plant/ a bus timetable/a sports team/ photos of people in a variety of places, people thought outside the square with some interesting results. We had been given clues about thinking outside the box – “One task is take a pic of a giraffe.....everyone thinking Orana park?!? Now think outside the box... there is a Kindy that has a giraffe on their logo, Harold the giraffe hangs at the library and if you have a milk shake at a dairy well your likely to get a cup with a giraffe on it!”
We finished at the Groynes where there were BBQ sausages, bread and drinks ready, everyone brought a plate to share as well. We enjoyed having something to eat and sharing stories while enjoying the sunshine.
A big thanks to the staff who organised this day, we plan to make this an annual event!
