SepticSceptic: Depends if it's staff only, or does it include spouses and family ?

Agree. Too many events are like a very expensive meeting around a table plus food and drinks. There is no shortage of meetings. It's a good time to thank families etc.

We're doing a party bus trip to a vineyard/restaurant somewhere north.

I suspect most will get so blathered on the bus trip, all they'll want to do at the restaurant is have a pee then get on the bus to go home again...

Yeah our company is doing the exact same thing.

Didn't a group of workers get deep in the Do Do for doing some thing similar that only included the first part (stripper) at their end of year work do? All over the media with all and sundry saying how bad it was?

Yes despite prostitution being legal now, apparently strippers are a no no! /facepalm

Sometimes I despair for NZ.
