Mrs Easy_Targa is getting into corporate entertaining for the city types among us. What jollies have you been on, or would you like to go on, that really work well ? Ideas welcome

Clay pigeon shooting was fun!

Sadly I doubt we'll be seeing many corporate jollies for the next year or so, if the entertaining budget is anything to go by frown

We got treated to a night out at 'For Your Eyes Only' in Mayfair.

Had worse evenings.

That ultimate high thing looks amazing !!! I never dreamt that was even possible. Have slight concerns over insurance implications of city high fliers who are actually flying high on "simulated combat missions" !!!

OT but were you on the A40 going out of London about Lunchtime on Saturday?

Oh back on topic... Add fly fishing on the River Test to my list as well as many, many drinks functions and meals.

No - but I know who that was if it was another light blue Aero: Mr Tony (as he's known on here)...

Back to jollies, I rather annoyingly have to stay at St Andrews golf course for my next management conference. It's a crying sod, that one.

Hi

Some of mine of the last 10 years;

A cruise once a year with clients, getting told we are not spending enough money so we must not be spending enough time entertaining the clients. We had to start buying strangers drinks to boost the spend. P&O said we where there highest revenue generating account.

Boxing following Ricky Hatton between the UK and Las Vagas to watch him fight

£2000 a month entertainment budget

Season Tickets to Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham.
