Default Christmas Party

Was reading some hilarous posts about tight arsed gits and remembered I need to get my staffs christmas party organised.

Any suggestions for Melbourne based.

Last year (before I got involved ) they had a (crap) buffet lunch on the last day with some idiot in a orange suit playing a banjo (sorry for spelling). When I picked myself up from the floor my laughter changed to "Oh F###K, thats it, thats all they did for Xmas":curse:

I am budgeting on $100 per head (including partners - so $200 per employee) and will on top provide taxis so everyone gets home safe but well plastered - well isnt that the point of the xmas party? After last year I want the guys and girls to have a really good doo. Probably about 80 heads in total. Mainly warehouse staff who would not appreciate black tie, but something special all the same.

River cruises were an option put to me but not sure if all people like that.

Think I'll come to yours. We have a $5 secret santa, bit of pizza at our own expense, and all go home at 4.30

OMG is this common? Do these places have high staff turnover?

What about booking the Botanical Gardens - well, the Cafe/Restaurant is licenced, or hire small Marquee.
