Errrrr.... No!
Don't be helping them.
If you want to help them please attend on the night- they'll need someone to put their grunts into the written word format! |

Gentlemen & Ladies I have a proposal.
Teams of 2 tied together taking part in a safari quiz around the pubs of Ashbourne. £10 entry - Goes to the club. In return you get your first quiz question and a discounted beer token to get you a cheap drink at the legion. If you produce the correct answer you then get two cheap beer tokens for the next pub (vaults for example). You go there, get a cheap drink and the next question (or a full price drink if you got the previous question wrong) and so on for 10 or 12 pubs. I suggest that the questions get easier as the night rolls on!! For added 'spice' you could award aditional points for bar golf (pints are par 3, bottles par 2, spirits par 1). Additional points for drinking under par could be added to the scorecard.
You would need:
Agreement by the pubs to discount the drinks a bit in return for being included on the route.
A steward in each pub to check answers and golf scores.
12 questions
Appropriate Scorecards
A Prize! (possibly a bulk bag of Resolve)
What do you think?

Despite the fact I am currently telling myself I am never drinking again following last night I'm sure it will happen at some point (the smart money is on before 6pm).
And based on that the above is an excellent suggestion Loosehead!...... A few questions though
1) How does that Golf thing work- Do you get a better score if you stick to spirits?
2) Will we be able to tie ourselves to females that we don't necessarily know? (zip ties are extremely useful)
3) Who did you nick the idea off? you surely didn't come up with it?!!
I reckon it would be a great night and I have no doubt it would end up in a shambles based on the complicated rules and the fact that everyone will be p***ed. |

Format is a blend of 3 things stolen from other people. Some would call it adding value to the existing ideas and as such I should be able to charge the three other people for making their idea better!!
The golf thing works like golf:
If you finish a par 3 drink (a pint) in 2 goes you score 1 under par,3 goes par, 4 goes 1 over par. Somebody needs to sign your scorecard to verify your score. scores are added to your quiz score at the end.
Spirits are easy but very difficult to get under par unless you inject them!!

| Am liking the idea - can see it being most entertaining to watch! Could it be made into pub rugby somehow so as not to confuse the forwards too much? |

Have stolen this idea:-
Being 80 minutes in a game of rugby we divide pub rugby into ten 10 minute sessions at 8 bars/pubs. There should be two equal teams. At each bar, each person has a one-on-one race with their opposite number (the opposite numbers can be changed at each bar so there shouldn't be a race repeated that has already been done).
Winning the race gives you a try or five points. A conversion can be kicked if the winner is willing to drink the rest of the losers pint, immiediately after or can opt to have a shot of the losers choice, again immediately after the race has finished!
In the rare situation of a draw the match will be decided by one final boat race. Each member has to drink a pint as quick as possible before the next person in their team can start. The team to finish the boat race first wins.

I have no shame in admitting to be a bit of a lightweight, so let me be the first to volunteer to be a steward.
I also owe it to the kids of Ashbourne to be fresh, more or less sober and not smelling like a brewery on a Sunday morning. |

At least it's only a Sunday I smell like a brewery unlike yourself Gouldilocks- I've seen you depositing your empty bottles down at Sainsburys- you're like a one woman Blue Peter Appeal, I'm ****ing disgusted!
My quiz was just a very vague suggestion- the emphasis was more on pitting Backs against Forwards.
The crawl you suggest is too complicated and it also destroys the very essence of a pub crawl- dependant of how quickly we get served the night could be over in 60 minutes pub- down pint, next pub- down pint etc.
Webmaster, you also stunk of pineapple this morning so you're no better! |
