Team Building Toowoomba

A team day on the range can be as simple as barefoot bowls and a barbecue at a club, or as involved as a day at a country estate with a meal and a meeting room. The choice usually comes down to how far the group can travel and whether it needs a room for talks as well as an activity.

Clubs are the easiest place to start: bowls clubs in the CBD, East Toowoomba, South Toowoomba and Drayton have rooms to hire, with $300 room hire at one and $40 per person banquet menus at another.

Ways to build the day:

• Barefoot bowls at a club, followed by a barbecue or platters, is relaxed and works for mixed ages and fitness.
• Clay targets at Charlton suit groups of 10 to 35, at $925 per group, with club members coaching.
• Paint sessions on Russell Street at $45 per person suit a quieter team of up to 24.
• Cooking at Murphys Creek and trail rides at Preston keep groups small, which suits a leadership team.
• A golf club function venue has catered packages from $28 per person, and an estate at Top Camp hosts corporate events for up to 120.
• For a bigger off-site day, a barn on 50 acres at Westbrook ($4,290 room hire) and a lakeside property at Geham whose marquee holds 300 can seat a large group.

Country venues mean a coach or minibus for the team. On the range, winter mornings are frosty and summer afternoons can bring storms, so ask every venue about its indoor backup.
