Who's having a works do this Christmas and what are you doing?

Ours is this Saturday - a bit boring - a few beers and a curry.

Mark

Ours (normally a black tie do in London) was cancelled this year due to cost cutting measures so its off down the pub next thursday for a meal and a few beers.

I wont be going to any...

Having gone back to work for 2 days a week on a 3 mth contract. I have struck it lucky for the office party. This will be at a local pub in Winchester and will be a lunch time meal with all the Christmas dishes finished off with a cognac after the pud. I hasten to add that none of us will be driving.

Mine is at a hotel in Matlock this Friday night. Not too bothered about the meal, but we have a free beer token that lasts all night Better get some practice in so I can humiliate Clawley next week

I bet your company do will be pretty uneventful Steve Table for 1 sir?

Ours is next Tuesday evening.
The company has hired a large function venue in Stoke-on-Trent
(got to be big,nearly 500 staff throughout the group)
Consists of sit down dinner and live band/entertainment and then disco

well.. i am looking forward to the club xmas do next year!

should be pretty big!

Shame really we couldn't have done one this year Steve isn't it

Wish i had thought of it months and months ago.. was too late

This time i am booking in january! and getting the best dates!

Hmm might even slap on some live entertainment.

hmmm not that sort

live band or something.. Discos are ok but why not go one step further...

Maybe the Mosco Symphony Orchestra

I'll get me coat!

we ( swiss international) are having ours this friday, big heated (as its -3 at the mo) outdoor affair, live music, drinks meal etc and its free! I even got given a bottle of champagne from work on my Bday!

Nice one Rob! I bet there is no champers left though!

Mine is this Friday, going to a posh restaurant. Food and bar bill picked up by company, but as some of you know I don't drink really so I'll have another water please waiter

Used to have large company functions but now only departmental parties are allowed due to too many internal brawls

No company one again this year due to cost cutting so the development team I work in are going to a Morocan restraunt.

our christmas party is in january as a bit of a new year / christmas party

Did you know that a company is permitted to spend £75 per employee on a Xmas party?

And it is tax deductable?


Hence my partner and I are having a very nice meal and drinkies at a plush restaurant sometime in the near future.

didn't realise you can do this, will book now!

Our do was a meal and wine tasting session (but you had to do a mock marketing plan for a wine!!!!!!!!!)

I couldn't make it as I was off sick. So, a few girls from the office and I will be 'bonding' over a curry and a few beverages (infinitely more fun than the work-do I hope)
