Mad Over Fiftiesclub
198 Answers
Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers and tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is again lurking by the main entrance waiting for members to arrive and divest themselves of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks which he will then convey to their various places of concealment all over the Towers. members are reminded that there is no guarantee of the safe return of the outer garments at the end of our evening
Our Tailcock this evening is an interesting brew, the "Drowsy Droplet" guaranteed to keep you AWAKE!! (a misnomer if ever there was one!)
Tonight's Hot Plate Special is a delicious chicken casserole with dumplings.
As always there will be our famous volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies, on the pudding trolley we have a wonderful sherry trifle
There will be dancing down in the Ballroom to the wonderful sounds of the
Bert Kampfire orchestra, so come on down and dance! They've done it again! The Minstrels have found their way in and are busy setting up in the gallery to give us the usual round of madrigals and toccattas, if I ever find out how they get in ......... [i
As ever, all facilities at the Towers are open to our members. The indoor pool does enjoy company and is looking forward to members going for a swim, (we do have swimsuits available for members who did not bring one with them) Our well stocked library is also at the disposal of our members as is the games room and the and the gym. The hot tub is bubbling away nicely on top of the north tower, with his ever present companion the mini bar (restocked as always) and atop the highest tower the bungee is waiting for the brave or stupid to make their first jump over the moat (which is filled
with piranhas) As a treat tonight we have organised A ghost walk, our resident Towers ghost Sir Cumference had again been joined by his good friend Sir Kitt who has come on a visit, they have promised to make the ghost hunt an exciting experience (Igor has loaned them his spare set of chains!) Members who visit the conservatory are again reminded not to feed the Triffid, and moreover if they do feed the Triffid, kindly refrain from giving it Haribo jelly sweets! [i] the mess by the Triffid after eating them has to be seen to be believed glad I don't clean it up ]
Though the evening may be a tad chilly, the gardens and grounds are open to members as is the beach and the race track or any members wishing to go for a wander around - wrap up warm won't you?
Queenie sends her apologies but she has again deserted the Towers in favour of a speedway meeting, she may look in later when she returns.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
small bag of loose threads (variety of colours)
empty needle packet
pack of rusty pins
tape measure (markings rubbed off)
unfinished stitched picture of a teddy bear (chart lost or mislaid or something)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
carriages at midnight

Interesting choice there Daisy, my mum loved those books by Diana Gabaldon - did you know they have made a film about her first book Cross Stitch I think that was the name - I have read one called the Gallows Thief, interesting read, haven't read anything by Val Diarmid - isn't she the crime writer who reworked Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey? I'm expecting the latest Quintin Jardine Skinner book to be delivered to my kindle this week!
