Mad over fifties CLub

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open. (A little late again...blame the excitement over the Trooping of the Colour)


Welcome everyone!

No doubt the usual sumptuous array of delicious drinks and nibbles will appear shortly.

Tonight's raffle prizes include:

Half a tin of Mint Balls
Two pairs of socks, one blue and red, the other red and blue.
Box of bath cubes (one missing)


I have not heard the title of tonight's talk, or indeed the name of tonight's speaker, but I am sure all will be revealed later.

Good evening milady, a veritable array of royal treats arranged for all to savour, the tailcock of the week has to be Brucie Bonus or BB***.


For the raffle I have

3 sparklers
a pair of lime green sweatbands
box of mothballs
and a headscarf with the white cliffs of Dover on it

[ladyalex]

Good evening, Mamyalynne.

Of course, a Brucie Bonus. How appropriate.

Hi supersuezy, make yourself comfy.. Thanks a lot for the wine etc.

[Mamyalynne]

Good thinking Doc, we are easily embarrassed

[DTCwordfan]

And as to the tome, I have "nailed" most of you......

[ladyalex]

Hello and welcome, DT . My what an array of raffle prizes you bring.
Hope we have enough ticket sales to win them all.

(Aside to Mamya...is the car boot still on tomorrow ?)

[alexanderd]

Fine this week LadyA, I have my eye on those socks, just my colours

[ladyalex]

if you 'nailed' me, DT, I'm afraid I have no recollection of it...

[supersuezy24]

Oooh I have a donation for the booby prize..A movie called "Exam"....heheh

[ladyalex]

Delighted to hear it alexanderd. We did miss you last week.

How does one 'nail' a tome anyway ?

[DTCwordfan]

you will do so when you see it - just waiting to see if there are any surprise visitors to work in to the "verse" if that is what you can call it.
