More rules...

just in case anyone was thinking of buying cheap clothes off ebay for example, all clothes must be bought from retail shops. Again, the tags must be kept. Due to a potentially high scouse turnout I don't mean the security tags... Where possible I feel man made fibres are preferred to natural and as Jason is an IT manager perhaps accessorising with biros in the top pocket or a band aid on the glasses could gain brownie points?
I haven't had any feedback on the food yet - is that something that the contingent starting in Brum might be more interested in than those meeting in Bromsgrove? Please let me know if you need accommodation - we may be able to work something out as a group or if there are only a few of us perhaps we can be accommodated with local attendees.

I would welcome comments / suggestions but here are the ideas that we had last night:

• everyone has to buy a complete outfit for the stag night
• the MAX spend is £9.99
• receipts will be required as proof
• the labels / store tags must not be removed from garments
• the outfit must comprise: shirt, trousers, socks, pants and shoes
• trying to save by buying multipacks will not work - if you buy a pack of 5 pants for example you will have to wear all 5 pairs. the receipts do not lie...
• there will be a kitty in operation on the night - ten pounds will need to be put in to the kitty (fairly frequently) BUT anyone spending less than £9.99 on their outfit will only have to put that amount into the kitty each time. Conversely, anyone spending MORE than £9.99 will have to put that amount into the kitty each time - this should incentivise prudence!
• the person who spends the most will pay the person who spends the least back what he spent.
• i will require submission of a spreadsheet detailing each person's outfit prior to the night (Jason likes spreadsheets) this will then be laminated and worn on the night to facilitate easy checking by jason at regular intervals

JASON'S OUTFIT!

everyone will have to buy an item of clothing for jason to wear (MAX £2) - if there are twenty of us that means twenty garments giving us plenty of scope for mixing and matching things like shoes and socks etc plus some "accessories".

Stag plans

Been thinking about the format of the stag and particularly Jason's humiliation...
Due to his taste for expensive clothes (even though he claims to have eschewed the whole materialist thing) I have decided on a budget for entire outfits for the night for everyone taking part and penalties/ incentives for everyone....
details to follow.
