I wish I was going as Bryan Adams is playing - but I'm getting married just over a week afterwards.

Gong there in Sept for a stag. Was there with the missus about a dozen years ago so didn't get to appreciate the many hostelries. What is there of note and anything not drink related during the day? We have already ruled out "activities" on the Saturday which brings danger  :o

A pub with a bookmakers next door, a jukebox and a pool table will suffice Tony Baloney...don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Are you afraid he'll make you doubt your decision? He's a bit old for you.

The Footgolf is good, but I suppose you could class that as an activity.. although there wasn't much action when we played it!

Not true. I put a lot of effort into eating to create energy so I am extremely selective as to how I expend it.

They have bikes with those little motors on them. Jim Sherwin had one when he did a show with his grandchildren. (Tony - if that doesn't do it nothing will  :D)
