Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter Nungate Towers this evening. We have a varied selection of volly vonts and canapes for your delight, on the "hot" trolley there is steak and mushroom pie, a pie packed so full of deliciousness that the gravy has to be served separately as there was not mushroom left inside for it. For the Vegetarians there is a nut roast and bean burgers. On the pudding cart we have Eve's pudding - she put up a fight but we got her in it just the same, of course served with custard!
In honour of the return of Strictly Come Dancing tonight's tailcock is the Strictly Delicious a potent brew guaranteed to bring Sparkle to our festivities. As always the rofl will be drawn later in the evening, and I have some broken lute strings (donated by one of the minstrels), a tin of armour polish, and Igor has stepped up and donated a used corn plaster (thank you Igor)
The second running of the Great Hall Sack Race will be run around ten and we have rigged up the old gibbet on the south tower for bungee jumping!
Tonight's music will be provided by the Minstrels as usual and they have informed me that as well as the customary madrigals and toccattas they will be playing a selection of ZZ Top's greatest hits and a selection of Salsa and Samba music for those who want to give their maraccas a good old shake
Igor is on hand to conceal coats, cloaks broomsticks (and bodies is required)

[DaisyNonna]

Hi Excel . Did you win? Do try the tailcock.

[nungate]

Good evening Excel, delighted to see you, I do hope you will stay awhile, the evening's festivities aren't quite ready for winding down yet, the carriages are not expected until Midnight, and we are still looking for entries for the sack race (Mrs Overall isn't here to defend her title this week)
and of course there is bungee jumping from the south tower and the Minstrels are giving it laldy from the gallery

daisy...the straight jacket is a very structured piece, with plenty of buckles, tassles and decorative zips. once you get it on, you won't want to get it back off. i'll be happy to participate in the sack race, nungate.....i'm good in the sack! x

[nungate]

Oh dear, I think She's pleased to see you Excel - I think she might require the "calm down" pills later

[DaisyNonna]

Any chance of partnering me in the three legged race?

[nungate]

Jolly good ICG, we'll be calling for the starters soon

[queenofmean]

[excelsior-1]

well nungate, i can only say that you have brought Queen up to be a very discerning young lady .. as she has excellent taste. (thank you for your compliment, Queen)

i am willing to be included in the sack race - if there is still room .. just let me have a drink first.

Daisy .. i deliberately let my god-daughter win - followed closely by my boss. (i know when to be tactical).

[excelsior-1]

[queenofmean]
