It happens all the time between May and September, Murder on the Oker (german), with the Oker being a nice river that runs through town.
At the Okercabana (german) you can have a cool drink to hot music, play beach-volleyball, just relax. There are several places where you can rent a boat, there are annual races and... murder.
I wanted to join in, but it is rather expensive.
How handy the company I work for hops in (yes, I voted for it, too!)! Our next company meeting will be held at the Oker with a hopefully nice and yummy dinner in a restaurant at the riverside and afterwards we simply murder all the darn colleagues we don´t like hop on a boat and hear a detective story, read by the local writer - oh, please keep your fingers crossed for a day without rain on Friday the fifth of September - rain would mean just dinner, since it´s an open boat!!
It will be dark by then, also, how "creepy"! YES!
Oh, yes. Autumn is on the way. Getting dark by 8:30-9:00 already, oh noooooo...
Sadly this is without partner. Money isn´t that fat in anymore...
But, hey! It sounds like a whole lotta fun! :-)
Will be the best company meeting so far, I suppose!
Not so fun was so far:
- a walk through Nationalpark Harz (where I grew up nearby. Plus I don´t like mountains! Wanna see where I go!)
- Hang on! Those were two of them already!!! One with the other without partner.
- Fun was a ride on a small closed boat, with dancing and all - partners included.
- Not so fun: Dinner with a roulette table, I don´t like gambling, too exciting for me!
- Just dinner
- Dinner with presentation (several times)
Yes. Working there for 7 years already!
Does your company have regular meetings as well? Was there something you can recommend? Fun part would be good!
Have to add: We´re a bunch of some 50 guys, working all spread over the region, hardly seeing each other. So, regular company meetings are meant to help us getting to know each other better.
But actually all the groups who work together then stick together and have fun. At least we have fun! Mostly!

I work for a municipality and we had ONE "company" meeting in my 14 years of employment. Yes, 14 years. I know people in other departments by face from passing, but I hardly know any of them even after all these years. But, we are not a profit making organization, and all monies that come in are from bills, taxpayers, permit fees, etc. So, we really can't be having nice gatherings on the backs of taxpayers. I'd be open to paying for ourselves though. I doubt many would go!! Sounds like fun Iris!
