Mad over Fifties Club

The Club is now Open
Welcome one and all .
So far we do not seem to have any raffle prizes, but I am sure that that state of affairs will be remedied soon.
I am happy to report that I have almost completely recovered from my indisposition of last week.
Unfortunately, a dodgy meal out last night has had consequences, so my appearances tonight may be somewhat sporadic....possibly even spasmodic....
Hope indispositions don't come in threes...

Tank you for yru concern, Jumbo. I am taking your comment in what I am sure is the spirit it is intended.

What an ode, DT. Truly magnificent.
May I draw your attention to a local competition that may be of interest to you ?
The prize is a quarter stone of sausages, so we are talking high stakes here.
