Welcome once again to the Mad over Fifties Club for a night of unalloyed pleasure.
No doubt there will be at least one ode, lots of delicious comestibles and sufficient alcohol to float a battleship.
And that's before we get on to the excellent conversation , witty repartee and the holy grail of all club events, the drawing of the raffle.
Tonight's prizes so far include:
two rain mates (pink spotty ones)
a packet of Fishermen's Friends
a pair of flip flops, one orange, one green (totally non-sectarian )
and
a loofah
I must heartily apologise, Gordon did go for a wander round the grounds and Gladys became perturbed as he was so lomg, he returned mumbling in French and we fear he has been spiked.
I have sat him in the conservatory with a large medicinal Eeeeeeeeeeeee and revived Gladys with some smelling salts.
Before proceeding to the draw, I would like it clearly understood that, extra eee or no extra eee, this draw will be drawn fair and square (as always).
