October Social Blog

Paul McVicker

Welcome back to our monthly blog on life at Data Intellect, where we bring you the latest regional updates on social activities in the company. Each month, we’ll dive into our regular outings, social clubs, quarterly team challenges, community/charity events and much more!

Free Friday Drinks

Free Friday Drinks was back this month at the usual time! With free pizza and free drinks, this was a great way to warm up as the colder months draw closer! Free Friday Drinks will be back next month same time at the Sunflower, so make sure to be there!

Quarterly Team Challenge

For this quarter, we've decided to put our thinking caps on by taking part in a quiz! So far this year its all been physical challenges (who can throw the dart the most accurately, who can throw the axe the hardest, who can drive a go-kart without spinning out etc.) so we thought we'd take a break from that and let our brains do all the work!

This month we had 2 teams taking part, Data Intellect and Menu! With Data Intellect currently sitting atop the leaderboard, do you have what it takes to kick them off the top spot? Get your team together and give it a go!

Board Games Night

Board Games were back in the office this month, with plenty of new games to play and plenty of new faces to join in! With free food and drinks to go alongside, it was a great evening for all!

If you're interested in joining any future board game nights, make sure to keep an eye out for the polls in the future!

Bake Sale

Our bake sales to raise money for Cook for Gaza continued this month, and the donations don't seem to be slowing down! Having raised over 700 Euros so far, this month stayed strong with a lot of Halloween themed bakes!

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, and to everyone who brought in their bakes! Our bake sales will continue going on until our annual bake off competition in mid November, so we encourage everyone to continue baking and continue donating!

Halloween Celebrations

Who doesn't love Halloween? Certainly not anyone at Data Intellect! This year we celebrated with a chocolate hunt in the office and our annual Halloween costume competition! Plenty of people had dresses up with the best costume receiving a prize, make sure to have a look at all the costumes!

A huge thank you to everyone who dressed up and submitted their costumes! And we would also like to extend a huge congratulations to Meabh for having the best costume!

We hope you all had a great Halloween this year!
