Rompers Green O's Mess Summer Ball 2006 - promising to be disappointing???

I've got tickets (again) to the Summer Ball at the secret Wiltshire airbase. Having been away for a while, I'm now back and am a wee bit concerned at being told of a lack of attractions.

As far as I can tell there will be the usual dodgems, 1 other fairground ride, 2 tribute acts - and that's about it. I'm told there'll be a big tent with a great light show and nice decorations - but that's a venue not an attraction.

I'd hoped the budget would be spent on stuff to do rather than decorations. Previous years ideas of laser clay pigeon shoot, casino, networked sega rally games, fairground side stalls, (even hot air balloon rides one year!) etc sound like attractions - having a chocolate fountain doesn't and the adrenaline rush of watching 'lucy the fire-eater'? is unlikely to keep me going 'til breakfast is served.

Anybody know if there's anything else booked - or should I just plan to drink my own bodyweight in booze and go to bed early?
