Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Apologies for the late start - computer lost my post.....again!
Good evening and Welcome, me in out of this "summer rain" ... Tonight's Tailcock is the "Claret Cup" (well it is the Open) so do come along and dip your bucket in the vat of Tailcock and give it a try.
Due to the inclement weather we feel it best to keep tonight's activities within the confines of the Towers. So to this end we have engaged our favourite local band, The Tone Deafs to play in the ballroom for members wishing to dance and we have also secured a copy of the film classic "Some Like it Hot" which will be screened in the library.
Tonight we will be having another running buffet, for those members who manage to catch it, feel free to indulge, and for those members who are unable or unwilling to give chase, supper has been laid out in the snug, where they will also find a selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers.
Members are free to make use of the facilities here at the Towers, might I add that the indoor pool has felt somewhat neglected lately as members have been making full use of the outdoor pool and the beach. He is hopeful of having some company this evening. We have fired up the hot tub on the North Tower and dusted the cobwebs off the bungee for members who feel the need of a soak or of themselves off our topmost tower towards a moat full of piranhas.............

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals


carriages at midnight.

[nungate]

and leave all those poor piranhas to flounder, gasping in the drained moat?

Another meeting DT?

[DTCwordfan]

perhaps....don't know yet....would like to repeat a week - even better 10 days to get a Scottish drawing back in the portfolio.

[tonyav]

No don't drain the moat, otherwise nowhere for the speed boats.

[Psybbo]

Nungate, please give my love to Queenie, I'll e-mail her tomorrow

[nungate]

what are you planning to draw, have you decided yet?

[DaisyNonna]

Of course one would save the piranhas first. Then use the net to tap the running buffet. Flounders and piranhas are different.

[nungate]

Will do Sibs. did she tell you her beau was taking her away this weekend? He told me where they were going but I was sworn to secrecy. She tried to get me to tell her but she was in the dark until they were almost there!

[DTCwordfan]

Not yet - not the piranhas....too many bites used on uploading to the compooter.

[DaisyNonna]

So you wouldn't appreciate a slow boat to China Tony?

[DTCwordfan]

Gleneagles?

Though I would prefer Peat Inn.

[nungate]

Gleneagles nice. The Peat Inn rings a dim dark distant bell, can you remind me?

[lady-janine]

not sure any of that would work daisy. a couple of sheep nibbling away at our privet hedge passes for great excitement here. they may even be related to someone we all know.

[lady-janine]

hope she has a lovely time nun. he does seem a nice beau. certainly spoils her. a good sign.

[DaisyNonna]

Going to visit the indoor pool.

[nungate]

quite honestly, he's delightful!

[nungate]

he'll be so pleased to see you Daisy

[DTCwordfan]

[DTCwordfan]

so is the question being popped or just a 'special' dinner....?

[nungate]

Vague recollections of having paid bills for this place when I worked in Banking - don't ask!

Don't think any questions being popped, he was taking her away to celebrate her birthday, he's bringing her home tomorrow so they can spend her birthday with us as well! I'm going to try to cook, if my knee will allow

[DaisyNonna]

DT, do not pry.
