Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.
Welcome, one and all.

How wonderful it is to be back amongst you all.

All members will be pleased to note that The Committee will be meeting next week to consider the important matter of subscriptions. In these times of economic downturn, it may be necessary to make a small...er...substantial increase.
Staff wages will also be under consideration and new posts are always available to suitably qualified applicants.
Usual terms and conditions apply. (See Mamyalynne for details).

I am very hopeful that one of our members will be carrying on the now-established tradition of giving us a talk on their specialist subject...come on now, I know that there are many talented members out there, bursting with knowledge of knitting socks and turning heels, crotcheting toilet roll covers, origami through the bamboos, the history of the apostrophe from medieval times and many other topics of interest to us all.
Again, usual terms and condition apply, the box for the speaker's fee is on the hall table. (Large denomination notes only, please.)

Honeycombs make your hair (or even your hare) very sticky though, society.

LadyA, did anyone mention how much you were missed at the last meeting? Mammy insisted we save the special cake and case of Merlot for when you get back.

Hi Pru and Mammy! xx

[ladyalex]

Special cake ?
Case of Merlot ?

I have not heard of this ........cake, wine and flowers all when I was away...
There's something amiss here .
