Our class rep has organised a fundraising 'Ladies Night' at a local bar. Ticket price is £18 for a welcome drink, buffet and 'entertainment'. Turns out the entertainment (which isn't mentioned on the leaflets distributed in school) is a drag act and two strippers. It's going to be a surprise.
Half the proceeds will go to our children's reception class and half to the PTA funds.
Obviously I can vote with my feet and just not go but AIBU in thinking this is just a bit.... eeeeeuuuuuwwww... To be honest it's not just because it's for the school: the whole idea of a Laydeez Night with male strippers makes my skin crawl. No-one would think it was acceptable for the fathers to get together and organise a 'Lad's Night with Suprise Lapdancers'.
The class rep (first child so new to the school) seems to think the teachers should also be invited...
Maybe I'm just being a snob prude/killjoy and it's all 'just a bit of fun' but I can't help thinking this is inappropriate. And I wonder how the school would feel about it if they knew what was planned?
Should I have a quiet word with the class rep? Or the school? Or just leave them to it?
Thoughts please, wise women of Mumsnet!

AIBU?
To think male strippers have no place at a PTA fundraiser?!
