Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Greetings from Snowy Nungate Towers.
A warm welcome awaits any Mad Over Fifty who braves the elements this cold winter night. For your entertainment this evening we are finally able to have the Ice Skating Gala, postponed from last week, so it's everyone down to the frozen lake later this evening. For tonight's hot plate special we have that old favourite Potage Bonne Femme - yes we managed to find another good woman! In addition, we also have a heartwarming hot pot, and the usual offerings of volly vonts and horses doovers and on the pudding trolley is a clootie dumpling with lashings of lovely custard!
In addition to their usual samplings of madrigals and toccattas, the minstrels will be playing a selection of Alice Cooper's greatest hits, and a small chamber orchestra have secreted themselves in the garden pavilion to provide the music for the ice skating. Also on offer by the lake will be mulled wine and all manner of hot drinks. Tonight's tailcock the "Snowglobe flurry" will only be available within the Towers as it is a somewhat potent brew, and we do not wish any of our guests to be seeing pink penguins within the Towers' grounds.
For the rofl we have an interesting selection of snow shovels and gritting salt

Sleighs ordered for midnight.

Here she is, our Daisy.

Congrats on the draw this evening.

Good eneing Daisy, you have had a bit of a per adventure getting here tonight, and look, not a drop split! Such skill with a broom is seldom ever seen. I think maybe you should ride home in one of the sleighs tonight though, for your comfort and safety - it must be really cold "up there" tonight.
Do come and sit by the fire, Igor a drink for our guest..........

Good evening all and all that my enter these spendiferous halls of nungate towers, a tad on the late side tonight I know, had to do a few chores for my lovely aunt aged 83 clear the paths of snow for her and go to the shops to make sure she is stocked up for a few days.
For the rofle I have one broken snow shovel.
One pair of green wellies size 9 ( both holed and full of snow )
And one 1961 Hillman Minx ( very reliable car, even survived the winter of 1963 ).
nungate may I have my usuall bucket of ''Snowglobe flurry '' if you please and an empty bucket for minty please as I think she's going to need one very soon.

[tonyav]

Evening Daisy, gawd I'm gutted how could we be winning 2-nil and still only draw !.

[nungate]

The silver vault is already open Tony and your usual bucket is on the way - we have a plastic arrangement for Murray.............
So many good deeds as well, (I shall make sure you get a new snow shovel in tonight's rofl)

[tonyav]

Here she is the lovely mintyyyyyyyy.

[DaisyNonna]

Hello Tony, was so hopeful of a win. What went wrong? Trying to keep up on line. Always felt claustrophobic at The Hawthorns. Suppose one is better than none. Better have another Snowglobe before I get depressed. Miss Martin.

[petal54]

just brewed more mead if you'd care to pertake

[DaisyNonna]

Oh so I don't have your attention? Might as well sample the volleys.

[tonyav]

Yes Daisy I know what you mean about the Hawthorns, not very big is it, remember that Rainbow stand they used to have ?.

[tonyav]

Ohhhh, that sounds good petal.
