Friday 3rd March
An evening at my house, Lisa is off in West
London visiting friends and family. People start arriving from the
late afternoon ( the lucky ones with time off work ) and the bulk
arrive in the early evening. The evening kicks off with the opening
of many cans of lager and I reach for the bottle of Havana Club Cuban
Rum ( never again ! ). The music gets going and people get chatting
and generally start having a laugh. Basic introductions lead to a
great atmosphere and there is some nervous conversation regarding
the forthcoming 'virtual soldier experience' the next morning. At
about 8.30pm Dawn from the casino
shop arrives at the party to setup a blackjack table in
the lounge. Most of us didnt have a clue how to play Blackjack but
we soon got into the swing of things. To make things a little more
exciting we decided on a £5 stake, which Marcroft promptly fleeced
from us, but being the sport he is decided to give some of it as a
tip for Dawn, who as a croupier was fabulous. Sat and Jar leave at
about 2am and the remainder of the party get to bed at about 4am.
Saturday 4th March ( with
pictures )
Up at 7.30 am ! A very sober Mark ensures we
are out of the house by 8am, just about all of us have incredibly
sore heads, and to say the least definately not up for a morning and
afternoon of arsing about in the woods with guns. Never the less Mark
gets us to a field in Bishops Stortford for enrollment in the next
event of the stag weekend, the
virtual soldier experience. After enrolment and basic training
in the use of the British Army developed headhunter sa80 replica rifles,
we proceeded to be split amongst another team of people there for
the fun into groups of 10. We had an amazing time playing various
games such as capture the oppositions box, protect the VIP and last
man standing. We were all exhausted by the end of the day and offer
many thank yous to the staff who were simply excellent in really adding
to the atmosphere of the day, we proceeded to a nearby pub for some
much needed lunch and some hair of the dog. Back home by 4pm, some
of us collapsed with sore legs, some of us got our heads down for
some essential kip. Ross unfortunately had to leave at this point
to get home and feed his dog. Showered and out by 8pm to start the
evening off after a bit of a mini tournament playing doubles on Fifa
2006 on the xbox. Hit the town, got some food at Nando's and moved
on to club
valentino off of Colchester town high street. Now the first
thing that struck me about the club was how elegant it was, we got
there very early, in fact I think we were the first in the place,
where we dominated the bar.
