Jonny Skeates' Rotorua Stag Weekend

---

Jonny Skeates came back to NZ to marry Amy Williams.

Friends and family from NZ and various spots around the globe got back into town for the occasion.

A group of about 15 guys went to Rotorua for his stag do.

Here's how we celebrated his last weekend of freedom.

Luge group photo
The stag weekend crew group photo at the rotorua luge: Dan B, Ben Green, Dan McKessar, Mikey W, Dan Buchanon, Andrew, Grahame Skeates, Anthony Skeates, Ryan Watts, Jonny Skeates, Nathan Hart, FILMER!, Dave Divett and Ryan Pellet ... All wearing helps, and as a result, all looking like utter [safe] dicks! Still really fun though!

funnel down 1
The drive down consisted largely of stopping on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere to do funnels ... here we see Mikey W doing it himself

funnel down 2
Graheme Skeates (oldest member of the group/father of the groom) showing us how it's done

funnel down 3
The groom, Jonny Skeates back in NZ funelling good old Export Gold

funnel down 4
Jonny still funnelling, and look carefully to see Dan holding the dogs collar attached to Jonny's neck ... the groom wasn't getting away easily

ryan cuff
Ryan Watts had been getting boozed in the KIWI Suzuki Swift on the way down. By the time we reached Matamata, he was an easily target for officer FILMER! to show us his hand-cuffing skills

ryan matamata shell
Ryan doing wee wees on the Matamata Shell sign, while Tony shoves a stubbie of Export Gold up his bum bum. This was moments before Dan and Andrew bought over what seemed like a 50 piece pack from Matamata KFC whch we consumed in about 5 minutes ... mmmm, kayfeesee!

nathans transport
I had the great pleasure of driving the KIWI Christchurch Suzuki Swift down to Rotorua coz from there I was heading to CHC to drop the car off to our local promo people. Ryan and Mikey were my passengers and got boozed all the way there. They were really annoying by the end of the trip. Notice Ryan weeing again in the background. Illustrates how much he drank on the way down.

locked out of backpackers
Got to Roto-vegas. Backpackers were locked. Waited outside to get let in and drank while we waited. The local constabulary made me tip out half a perfectly good Corona coz they have strict inner-city drinking laws. All I wanted was a beer after 4 hours of drunken Mikey and Ryan in my ear. Damn!

backpacker pile-up
Here FILMER! cops one in the chops from Ryan in the backpacker reception pile-up while we waited for the keys. As I said, beer had been consumed. Notice Ryan's Cowboy hat ... actually mine ... My brother Paul Hart gave it to me ... someone once told me it reminded them of Vengaboys - that was an offensive remark

lava bar group
Here we are at the Lava Bar, the hottest place in Roto-vegas ... a magnet for under-age slappers, fat women who like to wear too much pink, and tourists. Whoever took the photo missed the guys crouching in the front row. Dan made us all spray our hair with crazy colours.

nathan late night self-take
After a rough night out at the Lava Bar ... oh what a night! Knackered after the drive.

pool wake up
Jonny, Graheme, Dan and Anthony waking up the next morning in the pool ... imagine the Rotorua Sulhur smell ... Beauty!

room wake up
The boys I shared the room with the first night. Made the mistake of going to bed early and having a bed between the 3 guys that got most drunk. They woke me up by beating the crap out of me in my sleep. That sucked. Found a new room the next night.

saturday breakfast
Breakfast in Rotorua City before heading to the Luge

Ryan ready for some Carnage

ryan scar
Ryan after the carnage ... best bail of the day and the scar to prove it. Ryan was also quite roud of his homemade face scarf

ryan pellet carnage
Ryan Pellet after a bail. The luge isn't what it used to be. Got rails on the edge so you fall off rather than running into the scrub and mud ... still fun though
