And finally...

Intellect represents technology industry at Microsoft Challenge Six intrepid members of Intellect's staff found themselves pushed to their physical limits at the Microsoft Challenge - a corporate team building event held in the Welsh Cambrian mountains. Team Intellect was there representing the technology industry amongst 100 teams from across UK plc. The event was held across three days and involved a mixture of mountain biking, running, orienteering, canoeing and problem solving (often all in one stage). With each team raising a significant amount of money for the NSPCC (nearly £500,000), the event was a good cause, but in another sense a lost cause - Intellect came last.
