title It's a SwiftKey Knockout, Richmond Rugby Club, Richmond, Surrey - 7th July 2015 intro It's SwiftKey's annual away-day thrash, with the theme this year being based loosely on 1970's TV classic It's a Knockout. After the events, which include a fair amount of tropical-scented bubble bath, there's a barbeque and a free bar. Following that, a breakout group heads over to nearby Old Deer Park for a spot of rounders. There's also an update of the state of the derelict factory site at Brantham, near Manningtree. Once the site of British Xylotol, and then Wardle-Storey in the early 1990s, the site has been slowly disappearing. imgp9287 Possible still-working factory at Brantham imgp9288 The old Wardle-Storey site at Brantham imgp9289 Pipes and tanks imgp9293 Entropy increases in a derelict building imgp9295 Derelict offices and factory imgp9297 Piles of pallets and concrete imgp9298 Nature steadily reclaims waste ground imgp9301 A shell of an office block imgp9302 A wider view of the office shell imgp9308 Graffiti is covered by foliage imgp9309 Commuters at Chadwell Heath imgp9311 Simple tags imgp9312 Trackside graffiti, Seven Kings imgp9314 Multiple tags near Seven Kings imgp9317 Stacked railway flatbeds imgp9318 Fading silver tags imgp9319 Ilford Maintenance Depot imgp9320 Ilford "B" Shop imgp9321 An ancient parcel wagon at Ilford imgp9322 The Ilford "A" Shop gets some work done imgp9323 The new Bombardier sheds at Ilford imgp9325 A derelict building on Kew Foot Lane imgp9327 SwiftKey hangs at the bar imgp9330 Conversation in the Rugby Club bar imgp9338 The various teams get rugged up in bibs imgp9347 Kyrie does rabbit-ears on Adam imgp9352 The teams line up imgp9357 There's an intro to the day ahead imgp9359 Signing waivers of liability imgp9363 Juha looks more than a bit keen imgp9372 Something funny occurs imgp9373 Some dance moves to warm up imgp9376 Ben leads some funky moves imgp9381 It's the moves out of YMCA imgp9412 James collects tennis balls imgp9413 Marissa can hardly see out of her costume imgp9417 Gold team takes a break imgp9427 David fires a tennis-ball cannon imgp9428 Steve stuffs some balls in to a chest imgp9436 Yellow team bounce around imgp9439 Juha and Catalina on ball cannons imgp9450 It's wet sponge time imgp9456 Sponges and water fling around imgp9462 Ben M looks a bit over-excited imgp9466 Balancing on buckets imgp9487 Waiting to catch falling sponges imgp9511 Orange team's sponge travels along imgp9516 Błażej returns some sponges imgp9539 The stage is set for the "giants" game imgp9543 Costumes that look like off the telly imgp9548 Mike, Steve and Michele practice their rowing imgp9549 The giants are standing up imgp9581 Martin B awaits his fate imgp9586 Kah-Mun looks actually scared imgp9601 Emlyn gets offered a hand imgp9640 Jess comes down the slide imgp9660 It's a foam fest imgp9673 Ryan goes over the top imgp9700 More sliding in foam imgp9702 Blue Team photo imgp9710 Caroline piles out of the Washing Machine imgp9713 The Black Team hold up their socks imgp9718 Adam exits, covered in foam imgp9729 A sock is retrieved imgp9737 Yellow Team group photo imgp9742 An entire SwiftKey team photo imgp9756 James C and the orange team imgp9759 Adam looks around imgp9768 Ben sprays Champagne like a Formula 1 winner imgp9771 Pink Team photo imgp9778 Thomas is held up by the yellow team imgp9784 The Barbeque queue imgp9785 More burgers are sacrificed imgp9788 Caroline and Nick discuss the events of the day imgp9797 The spoils of glory imgp9800 Tom does an under-the-leg catch imgp9805 Nick hurls a Frisbee imgp9809 Nick bounces up to catch a Frisbee imgp9810 Ben leads the team off to Old Deer Park imgp9812 The almost Stalinist architecture of the club imgp9815 The back of the Richmond stands imgp9816 On the way to Old Deer Park imgp9817 Decamping to Old Deer Park imgp9820 SwiftKey on the pitch imgp9824 Ben scores a home run at Rounders imgp9832 Paul and Doug imgp9838 A British Airways A380 Super-Heavy trundles in imgp9840 Chilling out on the grass imgp9850 A small dog invades the group imgp9856 Richmond's striking 1930's railway station imgp9857 Richmond station platform imgp9858 A super-dusty commuter train at Colchester Station imgp9864 Manningtree looks pretty in the evening sun imgp9866 Derelict buildings at Brantham
