No event report as such (so as to keep the tradition of the "Stag Weekend" a mystery to the fairer sex), but here is a brief outline of what the best men (George & Andy) had laid on for the Stag (Aron) and accompanying entourage.

Friday am: White Water Rafting
Aron, George, Andy & Lawrence got very, very wet, with a mornings white water rafting in Nottingham. Under the supervision of a "New Zealand surf dude" we repeatedly attacked the man-made rapids of the river Trent. There were many tales told in the pub that night, but the best one is probably of Andy, having fallen out of the raft, singing "Oh what a beautiful morning" whilst floating away into the distance,

Saturday am: Rally Karting
Being a group of petrol heads, we had to get in a bit of competitive motorsport. Four heats gave each of us at least four races of four laps (one each in each kart). The fastest from each heat going through to the final. It was Nikki who walked away with fist place and the bottle of bubbly. Best "incident" has to be that of George loosing a front wheel on the approach to the "wall of death", but still making it to the finish.

Saturday pm: Paintballing
After a hot lunch, we were suited up with hoods and masks and made our way into the woods. The afternoon was broken up into a number of scenarios, with one Hen and two Stag groups making up the opposing sides. It was difficult to work out who was who, but at least the "enemy" had different coloured hoppers on their rifles. After the final session, we were absolutely shattered.

Back at the B&B, we tallied up the paintball "hits": George won (or should that be lost). After a freshen up. we were to hit the town...
