Another Stag Do Question

[Mr Scruff]

I know, I know, it's been done to death but I'm struggling here!

Need stag do ideas, for early September. Ideally within about 100 miles of London but not essential. Probably only for one night, definitely no foreign travel.

Problem is that we're not the 'Gary Lager' type. Don't want most of the standard cliches; strip clubs not appropriate, there won't be any matching t-shirts with 'comedy' nicknames. As such many of the initial places (Bournemouth etc) are really out of the equation.

So, PH, what can we do? Will be about 15 of us, around 30 years old. Anything petrol related is a huge bonus (2 wheels, 4 wheels or on water). Thinking entertainment for the day and then food/decent pubs/club in the evening?

Any help very much appreciated....

We did a day out on RIBs between the Isle of Wight and the Dorset coast for a mates stag do.

Arsing about on the water with a couple of pro skippers, Cowes for lunch and then a bit more arsing about.

Great great fun.

Strip clubs - Not appropriate?

Hmmm though tthey were apparopriate for all stag dooos.

If its petrol related fun you want i think you can go on the Thames in some RIBs, if not what about something a bit more predictable like quads or go karting.

I went on a good stag the other week. Canoe'd the River Wye for the day and spent the night in Hereford - was a good night out!

How about Suffolk?

Stay at Ufford Park - half decent hotel with a golf course / driving range

Petrol based activities available include:

or if dates work out, a trackday at MOD Woodbridge through

Good pubs in Woodbridge, and clubs available in Ipswich.

Easy train links from Liverpool Street

(God I sound like the tourist board)

Hmmm, that's the kind of thing that I was thinking of.

Might have a nose into that....

Went to a stag do this weekend.
Spent the day here http://www.adventuresport.co.uk/

Then a night out in Leamington, staying at the Travelodge (Wetherspoons opposite for breakfast).

Good fun - we were 12 lads - aged 34 to 44.

That looks interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?

Hey Scruff, there's a great nightclub in clapham we could go to...

Was in the same boat - however a Comedy Club bridged the age gaps on our stag very well.

It keeps everyone together, all sat down with plenty of beer and the laughs are guaranteed... unless you pick a duff night!

A friend planning one for next year which will be white water rafting which should be a laugh.

Best one we did was a week at the Pamplona bull run,

[williamp]

cheap night out with plenty of bars/what have you in Leicester. easy to get to as well- 1 hour from London by train.

Close by you have bruntingthorpe for thier activities, tank driving close by as well, more driving at prestwold, etc etc

[ukwill]

Er, why are strip clubs not appropriate on a stag do?

ps. sounds like a riot...

[mat13]

google tank paintball

[McSwerve II]

Tank Paintball near Leicester was great.

Zap Cats and Ribs in the Solent with a company called UK Powerboat Charter, also really good.

Any horseracing meets coming up?

My stag-do was a couple of weeks ago - we went up to York for a couple of nights. Went to the gee-gees suited and booted, had a god hog-roast and plenty of beers, won a bit of money and generally had a great day out.
