I've organised Department evenings (for team spirit, motivation etc.)
I work in a mainly male orientated Department (and company really

)
I'm about to organise a cricket evening - where we hire a cricket pitchje off a local pub - have a friendly game and then back to the pub which provides a BBQ and a few drinks for us. Usually arrange transport for everyone too. (The company normally pays for this)
I also organise a party at Christmas - usually a dinner and dance (company doesn't pay for this - everyone chips in).
Our sports and social committe held a family day recently but I can't tell you much about it as I was unable to go.
