A Christmas night out in Aberdeen! David James treats his Oil & Gas contractors to an evening out on ARM
I have always enjoyed a decent social night, but the nights out
in Aberdeen with the Oil & Gas
contractors are always guaranteed good fun. Since 2003 I have been
involved in inviting and attending Xmas drinks with current
contractors in Aberdeen, and 2011 was no exception.
As this was ARM’s first contractor Xmas night out in Aberdeen,
we wanted to make sure that we put on a decent show and didn’t want
to disappoint. So having invited our contractor list and their
guests and armed with an entertainment budget, myself and two ARM
colleagues flew up to Aberdeen to host our party and get a couple
of client meetings in for good measure!
We hired the back part of the bar at The Soul Bar in Union
Street with the festivities starting early in the
evening. Good fun was had by all (some more than others I
might add!) and with 40 contractors and guests out at the height of
the evening it was a very good turn out. The entire entertainment
budget was drunk by 11.30ish, by which point a few people were more
than ready to head home! Some of the heartier attendees headed onto
other establishments but the majority finished up and staggered
back to their abodes!
The flight back home the following day was certainly interesting
especially with the strong gales that hit Scotland that week – but
I think I will save that story for another blog!
We received emails after the drinks evening thanking us for the
invitation and some said that they must have had a good night as
they couldn’t remember getting home!!
I look forward to the next social night!
