To tie in with Wimbledon, Elizabeth Court Residential home in Caterham hosted a Wii Tennis competition, involving four local Care homes on Friday afternoon. I went along to catch some of the action and present the prizes at the end.
Two Wii Consoles were placed in different units in the homes and connected through the internet connection to enable residents to compete against each other online. The games were tight but after much excitement the tournament was won by Oakleigh, with Barnfield as runners up. It's a great idea to find a new way for the residents to get together (albeit remotely!) and have some fun. My thanks also go to Sam Ndlovu, the Business Manager at Elizabeth Court, who organised the whole event, and even let me indulge my competitive side with a quick game myself.
2/2 And a growing company creating jobs. Meanwhile Eurozone is on the brink. Lesson is clear: Enterprise creates growth and prosperity.
