MEDIEVAL indoor TEAM-BUILDING in Brussels

Concept: 20 participants (in this example) are divided in 5 teams.

Two ACTIVITIES:

Crossbow shooting:
We will welcome you at one of the oldest belgian corporations, officially recognised in 1213 by the Duke of Brabant and is intimately linked with the earliest history of the town of Brussels.

It acquired a social position, that grew throughout the “Ancien Régime”, in particular because of its founding of the church of Notre-dame au Sablon.
The martial role of the Guild diminished little by little, to give way to peaceful tests of skill, to which important notabilities were invited.
Charles V, the Count of Egmont and the Infanta Isabella came to be installed as ‘Kings of the Shoot’.
In 1853, the Belgian King Leopold the first, donated the Guild a banner and a collar for the King of the Shoot. Since then, the Guild added ‘Royal et Noble’ to its name.
King Albert I, King Leopold III, King Bauduin and King Albert II visited the Guild or accepted the Grand Mastership. King Philip accepted recently.

After the initiation, the competitions between the teams will be organized. Shooting will take place on personalized target, and the best shooter will receive a prize from the president of the « guild » ! All of this is happening in the presence of several of their « companions ».
