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.

[Steve]

I wont be going to any...

[Brian Berry]

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.

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

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

[Matthew_McNally]

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.

:D

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)
