In the spirit of co-working, our office is teaming up with Putney Social for the Le Bureau summer social and it’s set to be a shipshape affair.
Ain’t no party like a Le Bureau party. From Fridays at The Victoria to a Christmas do in Fulham (that ended in Battersea) and our annual co-working Olympics (stay tuned to the blog for exciting news on this year’s Games) the co-workers of Le Bu know how to have a good time.
On Saturday July 8th, we are leaving the steady shores of Wandsworth for the high seas (the Thames) and setting sail with Putney Social, a friendly meet up group open to residents of Putney and beyond.
We’ll be departing from Putney Pier at 8pm sharp, making our way to Greenwich and back and taking in the glorious sights of London on the way. On board, there will be new friends to greet, stonking tunes to get down to and plenty of adult refreshment, which all summates to one thing: dance off.
Tickets range from £20-£27.50 and they are already selling out fast so snap yours up quickly to get the best price.
So…who’s on board?
HOW LE BU ARE YOU?
Take the quiz to find out if you have what it takes to make it through a Le Bureau summer social.
You have only been in the office for a couple of weeks when you receive the invite to a Le Bureau social. Do you:
a) Archive the email. The thought of going to a party with 50 people you barely know gives you chills.
b) Hang around the coffee machine, listening out for chatter related to the party. Maybe you could ask them if you can join their table?
c) RSVP immediately with exclamation marks and emojis to say you’ll be there. Le Bureau members seem like a friendly bunch, you’ll be BFFs in no time.
It transpires that the party is fancy dress. Do you:
a) Wear your regular clothes. You’ve resisted fancy dress for the last 35 years – you’re not about to start now.
b) Do a causal Google search for some themed accessories. Nice to make an effort, and you can bin them after the first 10 minutes.
c) Order a full-body costume, wig and face paint. You’re going Full Fancy.
3. You arrive fashionably late – only to find everyone else has had the same idea. Do you:
a) Adhere to Kinga’s side and make small talk about the photocopier.
b) Venture to the bar for a hit of Dutch courage. By the end of this G&T, you’ll be ready to mingle.
c) Instigate a series of ice-breaker games that include trust falls, clothes-swapping and passing an orange around a circle with your chin.
You are several hours into the night’s festivities and realise you are a bit tipsy. Do you:
a) Order an Uber. You know your limits and you don’t want to make a spectacle of yourself amongst your co-working colleagues.
b) Order a glass of water. Half an hour of rehydration and you’ll be ready to get back on it.
c) Order a bottle of Prosecco and 40 shots of Frangelico. WHOOO!
It’s the end of the night. Where are you?
a) In bed – you’ve been asleep for the last three hours.
b) In McDonald’s. A double cheeseburger meal with nuggets on the side, please.
c) In Mosquito.
It’s the first Monday back in office after the party. Do you:
a) Arrive early, knuckle down to work and smile politely at your new friends in the corridor.
b) Make a B-line for the kitchen to reminisce with your new friends about the party, and plan for the next one.
c) Creep in sheepishly, avoid eye contact and hope that no one saw you at reception, handing in a hat that belongs to another member…
