awkward stag requirements

Near me there's a brilliant place called 1066 target sports who do air rifle shooting, archery, crossbow shooting, axe throwing etc. all good fun but not too much hard work for even the least active person. Might be worth seeing if there's anything similar near you.

Evening all,

after some advice on planning a stag do for a friend....

Basically he is lazy, unfit, and doesn't do any competitive sports.

He has stipulated the following criteria:

No activities. (although i think, depending on the activity) i can sway his decision.

The party of friends invited are all very active and love doing all sorts ranging from football, biking, squash, go-karting, paint balling, air soft, mini moto racing, dodge ball ( the list is endless) nearly all of us are up for pretty much anything.

The issue i have here is not wanting to let the main bulk of the group down with a boring stag do, yet i also want to be considerate to the stags request.

I am basically after some out of the norm suggestions to see if i can convince him to change his mind and keep the others happy.

We are all based in and around London and herts/beds/bucks. But could be willing to travel if the costs are not too high (some of the party have families etc. so want to be considerate of the costs involved).

Any help would be appreciated here as i am really struggling for ideas.

Date is pencilled in for June 4th of this year so not too much time left to get the ball rolling.

HELP! (and thanks in advance)

Duct tape him to a beer keg until he's completely immobile, and chuck him off Wigan Pier.
 
You seem more worried about doing something that you and your mates want to do rather than what he wants to do. Remember it is him getting married and if he wants to do a pub and a meal then that should be enough. Its not a good idea to force him to activities he doesnt enjoy just because its what you want. Everyone is different and like different stuff.
You can do the activity stuff other time.

Indeed, real friends would just want to hang out and enjoy spending time with him rather than needing to be entertained doing something they enjoy.

Also, working 6 days a week and having two kids isn't lazy. It's exhausted.

Massive difference :)

Not if you knew how little he worked when he is at work.... Remember I know this man very well (I am his best man after all) I can assure you he is lazy - not exhausted ;)

In addition to this some of our work hard and have kids too you know (myself included) - and IMO the hobbies are needed to keep the sanity and health levels up.

Glad you know him better than I do though! :D

------

For an update i have worn down his complete rejection of activities - so just need to pick something that i think he will enjoy that isn't paint balling and go karting.

He has been to Go APE before and didn't enjoy it.

He hates water sports (so rafting etc is out of the question)

Thanks for the suggestions so far though! If you think of anything else keep them coming.
 
Organise some activities for the group the day before the stag do, leave it open to the stag to attend. Then met up with the stag the following day in the pub for his stag do with the whole group. Everyone is happy then

Well he certainly sounds like a fun guy! Does he really have no hobbies at all?
 
- Pub, racecourse, curry, pub
- Pub, curry, Casino, pub
- Curry and a pub crawl

if he likes a drink then do what he likes for god's sake.
 
Doing 2 stag dos for my mate this year. First is Ascot for all the older blokes second is a long weekend of craziness in Barcelona for the younger ones :p
