Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

The Committee has decided to re-instate the raffle this week.

Prizes so far include :
A tin of sardines, sell by date illegible
4 reels of black cotton
Half a box of chocolates (Hard centres only)

As we have not had a demonstration for some time, perhaps we can prevail upon one of our members to give us an illustrated talk on the subject of their choice ?
The Committee is aware that many members are very talented and in these straitened times we must make our own entertainments.

Members will also be glad to know that the oubliette has been cleared and cleaned, ready for .....

Evening Milady

I have a
left handed corkscrew
half jar of olives
one green bedsock

[Mamyalynne]

I could give a talk on ... errr, or um...

Any way tailcocks and nibbles are on the long hall table as per tradition.

[ladyalex]

Thank you so much, Mamyalynne.

So reliable!

[ladyalex]

I am afrain that my days as a public speaker are long gone (Dentures, don't you know).

Also, due to the impending visit of the Dowager auntalex, I will be unavailable next week, so hope you will be able to do the honours.

Good evening ladya and mamya.
I have for the raffle a box of pork scratchings, a little piggy bank (well no-one has any money to put in them these days) and a pencil case complete with piglet design

[ladyalex]

Good evening and welcome, Ena. So glad to see you back. Thank you for the raffle prizes (and for your forgiving nature)

[ttfn]

Oh yes and for Matron I have a special delivery.
I am sorry I have been rather a handful to you this last week or so Matron and to make amends I would like you to accept this bouquet of red roses and 2 bottles of the finest Chateauneuf du pape (do not leave them anywhere near the raffle table or drinks trolley) ♥

[Mamyalynne]

I am deeply moved and do apologise for my seemingly harsh treatment of you last week, but it was necessary and seems to have had the desired effect.

Milady I shall open up if possible.

[ladyalex]

Thank you, Matron.
Delighted to see you are receiving your just deserts.

Hello and good evening all you mad hatters! :-) xxx

My contribution to this evening's raffle is this huge funnel cake which I made with loads of chocolate M&Ms and toffee. The rainbow colour icing will fit right in with the decor.

[ladyalex]

How lovely to see you again, society.
Thank you so much for the cake.

(Lovely manners that society, so refreshing.)

[Mamyalynne]

Oh what a huge cake Society, thank you so much.

How is the Dowager ladya? I wasn't aware that the upper classes did gamble. You must be looking forward to seeing her again?

[ladyalex]

The Dowager doesn't bet much now.
She doesn't do much at all now.

[ttfn]

Does that mean her aristocratic title will change from Do-wager?

[champipple]

Yello ladies..

[ladyalex]

Do you know, I hadn't thought of that.....
No-betty auntalex perhaps
or Nowager auntalex

[ladyalex]

Hello champipple and welcome.

I am sure that Mamyalynne will be back soon with some tailcocks and nibbles

[society]

Mammy, I made a smaller one especially for you. I hid it behind the loaves of bread in Ladyalex's downstairs pantry. Please be very discrete when retrieving it. I don't want anyone to think I'm showing favouritism. You know how ugly that can get sometimes.

[Mamyalynne]

Milady you are getting forgetful! I hace already unveiled the burgeoning feast above^^

Chamnipple how lovely to see a fresh face, do have a drinky dear
