Mad Over Fifties Club

Good evening and a Happy New Year to all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Tonight we may try to keep our proceedings on the quiet side, in total contrast to all our recent festivities. So tonight, our tailcock will be the optimistically named "Summer Breeze" more in hope than expectation of an improvement in our weather.
On the Hot plate tonight, we have a delicious Cottage pie (we had a few spare cottages around the estate so why not?) on the pudding trolley a blast from the past in the shape of a jam roly poly with lashings of custard! Of course we will also have the usual volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies ready for our members.
Owing to adverse weather conditions the bungee will not be in use tonight and we have also decided that the hot tub on the North Tower will also be unavailable. We do have many other delights for our members, the indoor pool is ready for use, and we have installed a smaller hot tub down in the cellars by the pool, for those members who do like to use the hot tub) The games room have a wide array of games and amusements for our members use. Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals including the Wheeltappers Gazette! Somewhere up in the gallery the Minstrels are already tuning up the madrigals and fugues and in the ballroom the Tone Deafs are returning with a selections of the Hits of Yesteryear!
Igor has returned from his short holiday relaxed and ready to serve drinks, hide coats and generally be the masterful ancient family retainer! He will be ably assisted by his minion Frank who has returned from Minion School a reformed (we hope) character!
Finally, a quick Thank you to Queenie for taking over last weeks's meeting owing to my indispostion
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
carriages at midnight

There's a lot of good stuff on youtube from that era Daisy. I have a particular fondness for a lady called Annette Hanshaw, she sings all the old standards - I have some on my mp3 player. It all depends on the sort of thing she is looking for. My dad got me into things like Glenn Miller, and the swing bands I love Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and stuff like that. It's a shame that the Past Times shops are now closed as they had a good selection of music from that time
