Good Evening and Welcome to all our members and to any other waifs and strays that care to grace our clubhouse.
It is a miserable night out, as the poet says:
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member--
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!
But we shall be warm and cosy inside with our drinks and nibbles .
Any members wishing to volunteer to give tonight's talk should make themselves known.
I think we'd better get on with drawing the raffle , alexanderd.
As I'm reputed to win too often , perhaps you could do the honours again ?
Strabuckone, do you wish to become a member ?
Are you over fifty ? or do you have any proof of madness ?
Usually we accept anyone applying to join as having sufficient evidence of insanity to allow them membership.
