ACT Trainee Committee news

The ACT Trainee Committee hosted a Trainee Social Event at Hijinx Hotel on Friday 27th June. It was a fantastic evening, with trainees teaming up to tackle a series of interactive games and challenge rooms – putting their physical and mental skills, as well as their teamwork, to the test. The friendly competition was followed by some delicious food, refreshing drinks, and great conversation.
