The 6th Edition of the Paddle Tournament
organized by a group of employees at the
FCC Technical Services department was
held on 21 June. Employees from various
FCC departments participated at the event
which was held at the Somontes Sports
Club.
As in every year since 2007, several em-
ployees of the Technical Departments in
the construction area organized a paddle
tournament which has been growing in the
number of participants and is increasingly
important within the company.
This year, 35 Group employees and family
members participated. All paddle games
from the three different categories – Elite,
Premium, and “Simpatía” were played on
the same day to facilitate the coordination
of the participants.
Once the competition was over, the prizes
were given out, all of which were made
possible thanks to the collaboration of se-
veral entities and, particularly, to the good
disposition of the participants.
The organizers of the tournament encoura-
ge everyone to participate in next year’s 7th
edition 2013 of the Paddle Tournament for
the sole purpose of having fun and enjoying
comradeship that goes beyond strictly pro-
fessional activities.
