WELCOME TO DAN'S 30TH BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WEBSITE
WELCOME TO DAN'S 30TH BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WEBSITE
Everything is coming together for this weekend, so please find more detailed and updated info below!
We're right next to a bunch of areas with beautiful lovely walks so we'll do a nice walk and include a pub lunch in the middle of it! (So it won't be a 5 hour walk dw)
The starting point to the walk is a short drive away.
Simple, easy, yummy. Will take orders on the day and just get a takeaway.
There are some real mafa aficionados coming (including moi) so there was no way mafia wasn't going to be involved somehow.
We'll do a variety of games and probably end up doing some karaoke by the end of the night!
I haven't figured out what these will be yet but my parents have a nice pretty sizeable garden so we may as well use it to play some games! And the grass is literally freshly grown so we might as well stomp all over it.
All the fun of paintballing but none of the mess or bruises!
It's a short drive away so this will take up most of the afternoon. We will be able to have lunch there before we start the games.
I'm obvs not gonna cook so I've got a caterer to cook a lovely meal for all of us! I already chose the menu soz cause it's my birthday but ofc all dietary requirements will be fully catered for!
The main event of the weekend! We will be holding an un-talent show, where each of you will have to put on a performance of something that you've never done before or are simply no good at. So this pretty much means no singing. There will be prizes given out by myself so make an effort to come up with something original and fun for your performance!
Please everyone bring more variety in clothes than this otherwise none of us will be able to post any photos at all from the weekend.
Unfortunately it's also the birthdays of Rach and Bryan on Sunday, so we'll have a BBQ to celebrate their next turn around the sun! But remember it's still mostly about me.

Breakfast each day will be a help-yourself type situation, I'll make sure we've got plenty of bread and spreads and cereals and fruit and other breakfasty stuff in the house which is clearly labelled so you can find it.
I'll also get in a bunch of snacks that again of course you can help yourself to though if you want to snack on something specific maybe bring it yourself.
As for alcohol, I may get a little bit in but generally I'll ask for everyone to bring their own! The nearest supermarkets are in Ross-on-Wye which is about a 15 minute drive away, so either bring what you'd like with you or pick it up on your way in.
I would like to make this a drug-free weekend to respect my parents' new house.
Address in the group chat! Thought it best to not have it shared completely publicly lol
Many of you know that my parents have built a brand new home from scratch, which is absolutely lovely. It's been a labour of love for my parents for the past few years and I'm super excited for you all to see it!
Whilst the house is pretty big, there aren't enough actual bedspaces for everyone so we will need some people to sleep in tents in the garden. Obviously there are washing facilities in the house and it's the middle of summer so hopefully the weather will be kind to us.
You'll need to pay for your own pub lunch and pizza dinner on Friday, but I'm planning on paying for everything on the Saturday including the outdoor laser tag and catered dinner.
You also need to pay your way here and any booze you're bringing.
This weekend is designed to be inexpensivem but of course please please speak to me if you're worried about money!
I'm still figuring it out so hold tight! I think it will be the case that 4 people will need to sleep in a tent but I'll make sure it's kitted out and only those who are happy to sleep there do.
Please bring a towel at a minimum. If you're staying in a tent then you may need to bring your own sleeping bag - if you don't have one then don't worry, we'll make sure everyone is kitted out with what they need.
