In the heart of summer, far from the traditional December festivities, the Behn Meyer Europe team had an alternative Christmas party on 25 August 2023.

The highlight of the evening was an exciting internal bowling tournament, a contest of skills and teamwork that promised to be a memorable competition. The teams were drawn in a casual atmosphere, setting the stage for a night of friendly rivalry. To kindle the spirit of competition, a small gift basket awaited the triumphant team. But before the thunder of bowling balls rolled down the lanes, another crucial aspect had to be attended to – food.

The journey that night began at a charming pub tucked away in a corner of Hamburg. Laughter filled the air as glasses were raised, and thirsts were quenched with a selection of beer, water, and soft drinks. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, foreshadowing the evening's adventure.

With appetites whetted, the Behn Meyer team proceeded to a renowned Hamburg steakhouse. Here, succulent steaks, accompanied by a medley of vegetables and tempting desserts, were savoured with gusto. The meal fortified the team, preparing them for the challenge that lay ahead - the bowling showdown.

Upon arrival at the bowling centre, the fun continued unabated. Drinks flowed, snacks were munched on, and the anticipation of strikes filled the room. The jovial exchange among colleagues provided a unique opportunity to bond outside the office.

As the evening progressed, a fierce competitive spirit ignited between the teams. Every throw was met with uproarious cheers and applause. Even a gutter ball couldn't dampen the high-spirited atmosphere. After two hours of spirited competition, the triumphant team emerged, basking in their well-earned victory. The night wouldn't be complete without the traditional award ceremony, a moment of recognition for their bowling prowess.

After the tournament concluded, part of the Behn Meyer team ventured to a beachfront bar to wind down. Those who had spent the week toiling at their desks bid farewell to the working week, embracing the promise of a well-deserved weekend. As the night ended, the air was filled with anticipation for the next fun event that bonds the team together.
