Welcome , one and all to the Mad over Fifties Club where Members are expected, nay encouraged, to be Mad and Over Fifty.
Anyone seeking membership who has not yet attained fifty earth years will be considered eligible by virtue of their wishing to join such a club.
Anyone not mad and seeking membership should reconsider.
The night is still nippy for the time of year, so gather close to the fire and let the festivities commence.
The topic for tonight's Speaker is 'Weather...whither ?' .
He has not yet arrived, but we have received a message from him saying that as soon as he can find his waders, oilskins and umbrella, he will be along directly.
Prizes so far for tonight's raffle include:
A bottle of sun screen (unused)
A sun hat (new)
2 yards of deckchair canvas (pristine)
Greetings to all here present, my apologies for my tardiness Milady, the zebra missed the left turn at Albuquerque...............the llama is still in disgrace from the debit card incident and the alpaca is away visiting relatives so rather than hire a coach and pair plus coachman, Spot the zebra offered himself as a means of conveyance. May I park him in the stables Milady?
I am so sorry I am going to have to leave you now. Thank you for the tailcocks (hic). Oh and thank you very much Tony for rescuing my false teeth. I've been feeling gappy all week.
Night night all. x
Thank you kind kitty for the refreshment, my bucket is in my reticule I shall fetch it for you.
As for the cat and his friend the croc Spot will not be taking part in any games of chance he lost his savings in a ferret race and has forsworn all gambling since.....
