A wide variety of meats and vegetables—beef skewers, pork belly, chicken wings—were on offer, accompanied by unlimited beverages. The atmosphere was festive and collaborative as colleagues shared food, cooking tips, and laughs.
After dinner, the event transitioned to a bonfire celebration, where team members showcased their talents in music and performance, played group games, and exchanged stories. The warm firelight and clear evening sky created the perfect setting to close the day in a spirit of unity and joy.
