The Club is now Open

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)

I have not had a complaint yet about my distilling abilities, am sure you will acquire the taste.

[ladyalex]

There's wet all over the floor....

[Lie-in King]

Monsoon, m'lady?

[tenrec]

Good evening all. For the riffle I have brought some local produce:
a half eaten bar of Kendal Mint Cake,
a pinch of snuff and
a bottle of water from the Kent.

[polar-bear]

we need a plumber

[DTCwordfan]

It's the one that gness sits in when she is here (I aplololiologies for her too as she is stranded in RatterlandCarakeelland, poor thing and not the Isles of Silly where she should be starting her week in the loon bin.)

Tony - clogged Guinness is my diagnosis.

[tonyav]

Wheres the 'Wet' come from.

[DTCwordfan]

How did you get it in the bottle, tenrec? It's the fastest flowing water in England and Wales, very hard to catch......

[DTCwordfan]

With gness, who knows...........

[ladyalex]

We don't know, tony...you're the plumber....

Hello tenrec, lovely to see you again.
Perhaps you could help out LiK with his buttling when things get busy ?
Thanks for the prizes.

[tenrec]

DT, I paddled in at Sandy Bottoms. We haven't had all that bad weather that the rest of you have had, so the Kent is flowing along quite nicely at present.

[tonyav]

Hang on then, I'll get the tools ( IE great big plunger ) out me van.

[ladyalex]

It cannot have come from gness..she's birding

[tenrec]

ladyalex, I was exhausted last week after all the buttling. However, I will help Lie in King with the coats later if he is stuck.

[Lie-in King]

I am buttling quite nicely, thank you...

Tailcocks, tailcocks! Get 'em while they're chucking 'em down, they're lovely!

[DTCwordfan]

Sandy Bottoms, don't know her - is she a new member here? Reminds me of a good joke.....

[ladyalex]

You must tell me tony as I've often pondered on such things....are plumbers specially trained not to bring all their tools with them when the arrive ?

[Mamyalynne]

Cooo - a man with a big plunger !!

[ladyalex]

Sounds as though the Lion has things under control at the moment, tenrec, but hold yourself in readiness, you never know there may be a late rush

[tenrec]

Sandy Bottoms is at the northern end of town. It does sound like some sort of joke.
