FROM: Sports and Social Committee TO: All Staff SUBJECT: End-of-year social event Dear colleagues We haven't been able to have an end-of-year social event for the past two years due to our limited funds in the Sports and Social Club. This year, however, the company is going to support an event. We discussed various options, such as an office party, a meal out and a day trip. Firstly, we considered an office party held on the premises. The main advantage of this would be that it avoids any need for people to make special travel arrangements. On the other hand, the building doesn't really have a space that is suitable. We therefore looked at a meal out. There are a number of suitable restaurants and hotels close to the office. One arrangement against this was that sitting at tables is not a very good way for us to mix and get to know people from other departments. Finally, we discussed a day trip, for example to a local tourist spot. The main drawback of this is the cost. In addition, it's difficult to find somewhere that caters for all of our needs and interests. Taking all of the points into consideration, we propose an office party for all staff, to be held in the main reception area. Data and time to be confirmed. Please let us know your opinion, preferable before the end of next week. Thank you. SaSC
