Mad Over Fifties Club

Merry Christmas all members of AB's Mad over fifties!
Tonight is the "Christmas in July" Ball! For tonight's festivities we have opened the Ballroom it is festooned in fairy lights and evergreens, The Minstrels have been practising Carols all week and are down in the vestibule waiting to serenade club members as they draw up in the sleighs (don't ask how we managed snow in July - it wasn't easy)
Tonight's tailcock (in keeping with the Pantomime fancy dress theme) is the Principal Boy - an intriguing mix. On the hot plate we have a traditional Christmas dinner, turkey or goose and all the usual trimmings, on the pudding trolley of course there is Christmas pudding and Sherry Trifle, and of course our world famous volly vonts and canopies. As a special treat we have booked local mobile disco "Sounds of Music" to provide the music for dancing. Later on there will be eggnog and Christmas cookies by the roaring fire in the Great Hall, and carol singing around the tree led by the Tower's Minstrels, there is a fair chance of Santa popping in with some pressies! If we can get the snow to last there are plans for a snowman building competition (carrots, scarves, hats and coal will be provided)
Igor has polished his chains to perfection and he will be joined by his new minion Frank (who has just acquired his very first chain)
As always, the hot tub is bubbling away on the North Tower (mini bar has be replenished) the indoor swimming pool is ready for use (cossies in the changing rooms for guests who require them) We may or may not have fireworks to round off our evening, it depends on the weather.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Good evening your nungateship, hope things are well with you. You have done well to get all this snow, Igors chains are sparkling I see and his new minion Frank must be doing well to have acquired his first chain so soon.
A bucket of 'Principle Boy' and a Christmas dinner for me if you please, although only a few sprouts !, don't want any unfortunate incidents later.
