Social Ideas...

[Rubyrose]

I am now on the Social Committee at work. 6 members and 5 decided they were too busy to deal with it this year as their job roles have shifted a bit so 5 new members were appointed... Apparently I was first choice. I was well chuffed. We had our meeting today and we have lots of cool ideas but I just wondered if anyone else could help?

Here are some of the ideas:
* Traditional sports day (Egg and spoon, Sack racing, 3 legged race etc)
*A pub night. Pub quiz, pool, darts, kareoke etc
*BBQ
*Bowling
*Ice Skating
*Pool party
*Go karting day
*Cooking course for the day
... I can't rememver the rest but there is loads. I am organising Augusts event which will be something that doesn't take much planning. We have our team away day in September... we are going to a huge hotel for a Mission Impossible kind of day and we are going on a mass treasure hunt. (Last year we did 'Its a Knock out').
Also our Christmas party needs lots of planning and we are thinking of a Monte Carlo type of evening in one of those huge Markees.. (Ok I can't spell that). (Last year we went to the OXO tower).

Does anyone have any ideas I could look into?
We are going to attempt one main event a month and then little things like cake sales and stuff in between.

Car treasure hunt?
Fancy dress halloween party?
or you could invent your own games- how about
A/ HAIRY MARY - where members of staff have to produce a photo of themselves with the most hairy women of said name

B/ TIGHT ROPE - where you construct a balancing device made purely from ladies hosiery and whoever can get across without touching the floor wins

I like the Tight roping one... Someone here tried to tell me it's just when you walk across a bit of rope!!! I don't think so loser.. how boring does that sound!

Laser Quest and Paintballing were ruled out as we have some older members and I can't do Laser Quest because I have Photo Sensitive Epilepsy! Booooring!
