What social events has your company done?

[nubbie]

Hey guys,

I'm curious to see what company social event you have been involved in in the past? I'm looking for some fresh ideas for an event I need to plan. I will be during the summer months, that is the good news.

In the past we have had:
Beach day
Go carting
BBQ's
Horseback ridding
etc..

Others?

-Star Wars Episode 3 (they rented out the entire cinema)
-Seattle Mariners Game at Safeco field during office hours (game started at 1PM)
-Post xmas party
-Summer party (coming up next month)

BBQ
Sunrun
Science Funrun
tennis
softball

I always suggest a contact sport like hockey or football, for some odd reason always gets rejected. I think it's a get way for people to vent themselves and form new bonds.

nothing... xmas partys and the usual but I prefer not to 'hang' around with co-workers after work. I enjoy other company... then again if they paid for all that stuff I'm all for it

Lemme guess what the teams would be, all managers and vps on 1 team, peons and everyone else on the other, right?

I once suggested dog-sledding in algonquin park but they turned me down. Soooo disappointed....

How about a local bar with pool tables and free finger food (oops.... that one's tired)

Lol....

We were spending a lot of money on office supplies so we went on a PM scavenger hunt at Staples.

We did a dinner and Second city comedy club show last year and everything was taken care of including all liquor.

Golf tourney every year, xmas party at the four seasons and a few more..

At one of my old co-op jobs the company threw this HUGE barbecue. They rented out a baseball stadium (Nat Bailey) and had laser tag, sumo wrestling, jousting, giant human in the ball bowling, a pseudo-jeopardy setup, some elvis dude, a big food tent, a beer garden, and fridges scattered throughout the field filled w/ different kinds of frozen treats. When I arrived I couldn't believe it. It was all free too, except for the booze. Well, everyone got their first drink free.
