Ladies Outing 2023
Last week was the day, the Ladies' Outing 2023! Where the men often choose active (and especially sporty) activities for the men's outings, the ladies requested a cozy and quiet evening. A time to catch up and have a nice meal. The dress code was announced in advance: "an outfit in the color red to match the red accents in our building in Apeldoorn". A nod to the last ladies outing in our current building. As you may already know, location Apeldoorn is in fact moving soon (more on this later!). Back to the Ladies Outing!
The pampering began in the afternoon. One by one the ladies were allowed (during working hours) to undergo a wonderful relaxing chair massage. After the massage they could resume their work with new energy (and a supple back and neck). At 17:00 the evening program started.
The evening program
Soon the (red) cafeteria was transformed into a beautiful dining establishment, with a variety of delicious Chinese dishes on the menu. After this sumptuous meal (and some fine wine), the ladies were asked to take their seats in the meeting room for the PubQuiz. Everyone was eager to take part in this, a healthy dose of rivalry we know at Convins!
The PubQuiz was led by our esteemed colleagues Joost and Ivan! The gentlemen had to work hard to get (and keep) the room of busy women under control, fortunately they had support from each other. The quiz consisted of the following categories: Convins, Politics, Sports and General Development. Each round consisted of four multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question. Something for everyone shall we say! And still quite challenging!
How the quiz went? Quite honestly... It looked like a chicken coop, so fanatical was everyone! Among themselves, in the individual teams, some answers were secretly exchanged. A little bit of sabotage was very much present, sharing a wrong answer with another team turned out to be a great strategy. After five rounds & a super exciting final round, the results were known!
3rd place (team Cheryse & Tamara) went home with a scented candle, 2nd place (team Bernadet & Shannon) received a (tea) advent calendar and 1st place (team Anita & Monica) won a dinner voucher from 'De Beren'! The prizes were received triumphantly, the last wines were drunk and then it was already time to go home. A successful evening!
The 2023 ladies outing was once again a success, on to 2024! Soon it will be the men's turn, stay tuned!
