W ith the newly renovated showroom at Artarmon2 we thought what better way to introduce other teams to the new format than to engage in a Team Huddle! The Sydney Team Huddle was attended by 30 guests. We had the pleasure of hosting the huddle for all the Operations Team and many Centre Managers. It was a casual get together and a chance to catch up. There had been a rumour that Space Goat may attend, unfortunately not this time around. We had some yummy food and the evening was full of fellowship and laughs. Our Huddles are something we are well known for. So, what’s the secret to an impactful and successful Huddle? Getting everyone together (yes, I mean everyone), this is always the biggest challenge of a great Huddle. When it comes to Huddles, always start (and end) with high energy. The reality is that company news is no different than anything else in life, it ebbs and flows. Sometimes there are long runs of amazing wins, other times there are crickets. But we always try to find something to be excited about! Have fun with it and most of all, get your team pumped up. Good news and good thoughts help produce good work.

K icking off Victoria’s social calendar strongly in 2025, the Ivanhoe Team, Najeeba and Hayden brought food, fun and games to a new level. Not missing an opportu- nity to see each other and enjoy great food, our team quickly filled the centre. Upon arrival, the team were greeted with a grazing platter and many also took the opportunity for a guided tour, highlighting some of the Security Hardening measures that have been implemented. They also took in the views from the leafy balcony at the rear of the property.

After catching up and enjoying some Italian food, a few brave Team Members volunteered for what I can only call blindfolded Pictionary. In this game, the artistic talent of our team truly came to light. While the voting was split, Charles took the top spot with his depiction of 'Wine Storage'. As always, huddles are an excellent way to see other centres and get to know your teammates better. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out and special thanks to the Ivanhoe Team for a lovely evening.
