My stag do is meant to be tomorrow and due to much fannying around by my best man, we don't seem to have much (any) of a plan.

So PH, I'm turning to you guys to come up with ideas for what to do. The brief given to my BM was for an afternoon of activity (go-karting / quad biking or simular) followed by a night out in London for drinks / meal and more.

I don't want to just end up in some crappy pub somewhere so I'm hoping that you guys will have some imaginative ideas of where to go. Somewhere a little different than your usual boozer / eatiery.

Over to you........ smile

I'm sorry my first reply wasn't helpful I know but it's your wedding and you obviously want it to go well so need to have a word quiet with your best man or ask someone better to do the job...

My story: I got married last year, aged 39 & been with girlfriend for 17 years! When choosing my best man I didn't just choose my obvious best mate or my older brother but I chose the mate who I know I could trust and rely on to help organise the best stag weekends (we did 2 and they were brilliant) and also who I knew I could depend on to help the wedding day go really well.

I had absolutely no regrets, the wedding was the best weekend of our lives and my best man, best mates and brother had a great time. Everything went smoothly - brilliant best man's speech and me and my wife didn't even get to hear about anything that might have been a problem on the day. That's what a traditional best man is there for.

Too often a blokes choice for their best man sadly isn't the best man for the job.

What do you like doing? Are there any motorsport events on tomorrow? Hill climbs? Brands hatch? What about a visit to Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands and a few hot laps in a test car if you can wangle it, followed by a look at the Brooklands museum. Then go and get pissed up in London? Clutching at straws here - it's a bit late in the day to be trying to organise your dream day out. frown

For daytime fun, there's a great paintballing place near Effingham Junction station (no pun intended), not far from Weybridge / Guildford. Or how about trying out some clay pigeon shooting. Bisley, and West London shooting clubs are great IMHO. Sorry, no links as on my PC, but you'll find them on google.

If your mates insist on getting a stripper, go for a fun and harmless kissogram instead of a sleazy strip / lap-dance club, where you'll be ripped off. I'm setting up an entertainment agency and have contacts for the best acts in the business, so PM me if you want any more info. It's your stag-do, so have (harmless) fun, and enjoy!
