Malcolm’s Stag Weekend

Arrangements have been made for Malcolm’s stag weekend, here’s the executive summary. Some events will need booking, in which case you need to contact me BEFORE THE DEADLINE.

The “event” is going to stretch over the weekend of Saturday 25th April 2009. It runs as follows:

Friday 24th April 2009
1930 – Dinner at the Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd.

Excellent beer, even better food. There is a menu on the website. If you intend to come along to this you will need to book your place – contact me. No deposit or anything, just numbers.

Saturday 25th April 2009

Drive to G-Force Karting near Pontypool, for a 10am start. There, we’ll race around their outdoor track to establish who’s the fastest on four wheels! Costs are TBC, however this is the bit I’ll need cash up front for. Current estimate is £35 per person – I’ll confirm this by Monday March 30th. I’ll need the cash by April 10th at the latest – that’s two weeks. 

From there, we’ll drive to a nearby CAMRA-approved pub for lunch and beer. 

Once we’ve had lunch and those not driving have had a few beers, we’ll drop cars off and head into Cardiff, meeting up at the Old Butcher’s Arms in Canton (near the Chapter Arts Center).  At some point we’ll meander on into Cardiff via a few other pubs before going to…

Dave Spikey’s show in the St David’s Center at 8pm (2000hrs). You’ll need to book your own seats for this event, they’re £17.50 each. We’re looking to book everyone into a similar location, so try and get a ticket in Tier 11, rows A, B or C, seats 31-36 or thereabouts. 

Once we’ve finished laughing, we’ll head over to Charleston’s Steak House for some food and wine. After that…who knows. If you’re coming to Charleston’s, let me know. No deposit, I just need numbers.

Sunday 26th April 2009

A slow start after Saturday night, we’ll meet at the Brecon Beacons Visitor Center in Libanus at 1200 for an early lunch.

From there, we head over to the Swansea Valley to Dan Yr Ogof Showcaves for a visit, and then…whatever people want.

So, for those of you who want to attend, you can drop in/out of the frivolities at any time. I’ll have my mobile on me at all times (07956548902 or 07789912680) so if you need to get hold of someone in the party, call me. There is some accommodation around Cardiff, I have some room, Mal has some as well. If you’re stuck, give us a call and we’ll try to help arrange something.

So, if you want to attend, here’s what I need to know:

Friday 1930 – Dinner at the Bunch of Grapes – Attendance only
Saturday 1000 – Gokarting in Pontypool – Attendance and possibly £35 (TBC)
Saturday 2000 – Dave Spikey, St David’s Center – Book your own place
Saturday late – Charleston’s for dinner – Attendance only
