Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers.
Time for all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club to congregate and make merry!
Our tailcock for tonight is Mojito Madness! For our Hot Plate Special a delicious Steak Pie with lashings of gravy and creamy mash with carrots and peas - mmm.... and on the pudding trolley there is an apple and blackberry crumble and custard (cream is available) of course there are our customary volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Playing in the gallery are the Minstrels with the usual madrigals and fugues.
Down in the ballroom The Tone Deafs with a delightful selection of '60's covers!
There are roaring fires in the library, and also in the snug where any member wishing a bit of quiet can make themselves comfortable and where a nice tray of refreshments awaits. Our huge library is open all members, and as well as the vast array of books we have a nice selection of all magazines and periodicals, I do believe the latest issue of
The Wheeltappers Gazette has just arrived! Up in the North Tower the
hot tub is bubbling away, the mini bar has been well stocked. The bungee is primed and ready for use, the indoor pool is also ready (cossies are ready for those who forgot to bring one)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[Psybbo]

Want a ride, Tony?

[tonyav]

Love one, Psybbo.

[Psybbo]

Off out side for a quiet puff

[tonyav]

Hang on and I'll join you, Psybbo.

[nungate]

Sibs, we do have a smoking room you know, no need to brave the cold night air.
Turn right when you come out of the snug, along past the conservatory and it the second door on the left....

[Igor61]

I have brought the heated trolley to keep the refreshments warm Madame, your guests can help themselves now. Plant will be along shortly with a drinks trolley

[nungate]

Good idea Igor, now remember the orders from your Doctor, to take it easy and not rush into your normal duties. Make sure that Plant is on hand to assist you.
By the way I've had news from the Minion Training school, Frank is progressing well and will be allowed back home over Christmas, won't that be nice?

[DaisyNonna]

Was that ironic nun?

[tonyav]

WOW, how about that !, Frank will be home for Christmas. Has he got out of that unfortunate habit yet though.

[Psybbo]

Nungate, so considerate of you, thank you xx

[nungate]

We'll have to hope that he has Tony.

Irony Daisy? If I was being ironic I was unaware of it (happens a lot)

[tonyav]

Tony stubbs out his fag and has a swig from his bucket.

[nungate]

de nada Sibs.... I like my guests to have all the comforts

[tonyav]

Yes fingers crossed with that, nungate.

[DaisyNonna]

Changing the subject, do you have any special Christmas traditions at the Towers? (Will be December tomorrow)

[nungate]

We shall be "dressing" the Towers around the12/13th December, and we will be having a Christmas Ball again. We shall of course be opening the doors on the Towers Advent Calender from tomorrow. The youngest member of staff (the scullery maid) has the honour of opening the first door. Of course the trees will be coming from the estate, as will most of our Christmas foodstuffs
