Sorry "Clay Pgeon shooting". My BIL and SIL did it for another couple in similar circumstances (they always planned exciting things and they wanted to match them) to you.

If you do do it, please let me know: I fancy giving it a try. I feel I would be a really good shot...

Clay pigeon shooting is fun, that's a great suggestion.
What about the theatre?

How about a Ghost Walk then a meal? People run them all over the country, and I LOVE them!

Flip, I need to learn to type out "Clay Pigeon" properly, before I am allowed out to try it.

Comedy club?

Looked at local comedy club but the meals are really basic, chicken in a basket type food....wanted something a bit nicer. Shows are always from 7-9 so no good or a restaurant before or after mil would be unhappy if expected to eat after 9!

With comedy clubs you can usually do the option of not having a meal so you could go somewhere a bit nicer first, maybe where they do good cocktails or something.

Re: the zombie experience....I guess it depends on how much you like your inlaws

I soooo want to go. Am going to ask for it as a birthday or christmas present Grin

Sorry just read the bit about shows being from 7. At the glee club they used to do a later show (at 10ish i think)

Fil would like speed way, can't find any I do on Christmas meal event just yet though. And again Dh and I would love ghost walk but not the in laws....beginning to think Dh and I should dump the in laws and do all the above mentioned activities on our own!
