Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive and Dodge!
Dodgeball is a terrible sport. It preys on the weaker members of a group, encourages bullying and was phased out of schools nationwide as a result. Luckily for you, we couldn't give a crying wimp's nuts about any of that sissyness. As a result of sterling performances by Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller in the 2004 comedy hit "Dodgeball", the sport for real men is back in force.

The Rules:
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by:
- Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE (hasn't been deflected off another person/surface) thrown ball below the shoulders.
- Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
There are lots of other rules including the initial "rush" for the balls, boundary lines etc... but these are all pretty simple and will be explained in full on the day.

Teams and Matches:
Dodgeball normally has teams of 6, although this can be flexible dependent on numbers.  Teams can be mixed about in a 2 hour session if requested. The session will normally be run as a round-robin league with a grand final, dependant on number of teams. Matches are best of three sets, and each set is a maximum of 4 minutes long. In the event of a draw at the end of the third set, a shoot-out occurs. Teams win by either knocking out all their opposition, or having more players left at the end of the time.

Session Length:
- 2 hours

Dress:
- You're encouraged to dress in some crazy kit as in the film "Dodgeball" but you can wear normal sportsgear if you choose. Bibs are provided.

Overview:
Coordination, concentration and patience will be needed to successfully complete this excellent Quad Agility Course. There are a total of four 2-stroke 100cc fully-automatic quads on offer, and the agility course itself is a cracker: featuring see-saws, logs, dips, slopes and water trenches, this will definitely put riders through their paces!

Featuring thumb throttles and a wrist strap that acts as an emergency cut-off switch, these quads are a blast to ride and are guaranteed to give everyone a great time.

Format & Duration:
Instructors will give everyone a full safety briefing before guiding participants through the agility course, before the riders then tackle the course on their own.

Overview:
If you’re looking for an activity to make the weekend memorable, or something to bring together a group of girls who don’t all know each other , then cocktail making, or mixology as it’s called, is the perfect solution.

Experienced, professional and friendly mixologists will take you step by step through the history of cocktails and then show you how to make three of the classics, before handing you the bottles and letting your imagination and creativity run wild.

As you experiment under expert guidance as to what works and what doesn’t, you’ll start to appreciate a whole new art form and most excitingly develop skills which you can then hone with friends and family in the years to come.

Format:
Each group will have one or more cocktail ambassadors who will brief you on the day's activities before giving a short introductory talk on the history of the cocktail and the origin of the word. Each member of your group will then be given a bar tool which they will have to try to identify before putting the tools in the correct order of use when making a cocktail.

The ambassador will then make an introduction shot for the group where he/she will explain what all of the bar tools are used for. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

Everyone then makes lemonade using real lemons, gomme and soda water, and you'll learn about how to perfectly balance sweet and sour. You'll use your lemonade to make a Raspberry Vodka Collins and a Passion Fruit Krushka.

You'll then be talked through the history of, and taught how to make a Mojito/Bison Grass Mojito, a Pear Caipirowska, a Cosmopolitan and a White Russian/Bride. Then it'll be your turn to show off your cocktail skills by going head to head with another member of your group in a shake off where you'll each make one of the cocktails.

The event will end with a mini quiz with two free cocktail vouchers each on offer for the winning team. To soak up some of the alcohol, your group will also have a couple of food platters to nibble at, with a wide variety of food.

Included:
- Cocktail ambassadors
- Welcome flavoured vodka shot
- History of the cocktail
- Bar tools and skills
- Balancing taste
- Demo cocktails and tasting
- All guests shake up cocktails behind the bar including competition/games (each guest gets a minimum of 2 cocktails to make/drink)

Duration:
1-2 hours. This may vary depending on the size of your group.

Overview
There's nothing quite like a bit of head-to-head rivalry with your mates. They say that nice guys come last, so the question is: do you have the competitive instinct and controlled aggression needed to finish first? Or are you happy to look down the tailpipe of your pal as he passes the chequered flag? No one wants that on their record for future pub banter.
 
Forget about speed limits and points on your licence, put your foot to the floor and burn rubber around the one of the city's  great karting tracks. Karting was made for large groups and whether you are racing individually or in teams everyone’s eyes will be on the leader board to see who’s on top.

The new 450m circuit features tight hairpins, a double underpass and speedy straights- nail the high-speed corners and you'll be odds-on for a quick lap, get it wrong and you'll have a time that would embarrass your grandmother. Can you post a new lap record?

So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Format
Le Mans Race Format:
The race is conducted in a 75 minute non-stop endurance format in the style of Le Mans. You will be split into teams of 3 or 4.

There are usually 8 karts on the track at any one time. Endurance racing allows teams to choose how long each driver spends on the circuit. It's all about strategy, pit stops and teamwork.
