Mad Over 50's Club now open.

[Mamyalynne]

May I bid you all good evening, in her Ladyships absence I have been asked to throw open the doors and bid you welcome.
Following last weeks excellent suggestion that we may raise some funds by having a small select campsite in the grounds whilst the 'Family@ were away, some very posh tents were procured or purloined and various facilities installed. After a local ad campaign we had a few takers, but and here is the rub, the local Bewildered neighbours though it a wheeze to disrupt proceedings. Damage to the lawns and a deep clean to the moat had to be done so all that was left was enough to clear the ever mounting tab at the chippy,
So maybe a fish supper later, still it was worth a try.

For the raffle I have knitted a camel hair scarf, courtesy of Humph, very soft.

Do help yourselves to the nibbles and tailcocks.

[Mamyalynne]

Wow is that a compliment Alex, have not got the edumacation like her ladyship, hence the lack of intelligent banter on my rota, still I do a mean tailcock.

[dozeydo]

oh no - this tailcock is definitely not mean - it's being most pleasant

[boxtops]

I pointed out to ttfn the other night that if you have a drink in the Isle of Man (now where is our member from the Manx Land?) - it would be a no-tail-cock.

[Mamyalynne]

this is true boxy and just would not be the same

[Meg]

The tailcocks always have a little extra something when her Ladyship is away, Mamya does look after us.

[Mamyalynne]

Have found a few more bits for the raffle

3 Christmas crakers

Blackpool tower keyring

Box of Radox (lavender)

[Mamyalynne]

[Prudentia]

I can offer a quart of Marjorie's fragrant bathwater, laced with cointreau, or a nip and tuck in bed for for those who need their beauty sleep.

[Mamyalynne]

we will let the winner decide Pru, though how they will decide I don't know, hope you are well.

[Prudentia]

I am so well that I am beside myself, marjorie is feeling under pressure because she thinks she needs to feed both of me.

[alexanderd]

pru if you are beside yourself how do you know which is you

[Prudentia]

I am the one sitting on the right, or is it the left, oh no, that's me in the middle!!!

[Mamyalynne]

Don't fret Pru it will soon be meds time,we can cope with all of you dear. The cross Marjory has to bear tut

[alexanderd]

When did Marjory come in I am only just coping with 2 or is it 3 prus and now we have Marjory

[Mamyalynne]

No Alex don't think Marjory ventures out, she may indeed be another of Pru's incarnations

[Prudentia]

marjorie is my companion, but there is only one of her, I think, I've heard of a double martini and a double G & T but no double marjorie, oh, methinks... there was that time I over imbibed the chateau neuf du pape, both of them helped put me to bed.

[Mamyalynne]

well that was helpful, I could do with two like that some nights, still I do manage somehow.

[alexanderd]

[Prudentia]

sorry alexanderd, marjorie and I were sharing a martini, they really are good rifles, so accurate over the middle distance!

[alexanderd]
