Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

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

Sleighs at midnight

[tonyav]

Right, no need for me to check then queenie !.

[nungate]

The so and so's have sidelined my birthday next year for their sodding vote!!

[Igor61]

Madame Daisy you are too kind, I shall kust take a little peep, touching them would be way too forward, and my hands are a bit grubby ...... oh, such a nice shade of blue, just like my dear Mamma's eyes sigh

[DaisyNonna]

Has the rifle been abandoned?

[tonyav]

How very inconsiderate of them, nungate. I'd write a letter of complaint to that Alex Salmon bloke if I were you.

[nungate]

I doubt it would make any difference to that eejit Tony

[nungate]

Well, we thought we'd pass on the rofl tonight Daisy, since it's the Christmas Ball - I'm hoping for a visit from Santa later when we all decamp to the Great Hall for eggnog and carols

[DaisyNonna]

So which pantomime characters do we have this evening?
Missed out on earlier identifications.

[queenofmean]

don't tempt her Tony!

[Mammar]

Well I hope Santa hurries up cos my eyes are closing.

[nungate]

Well, Daisy, Tony is Prince Charming, Mammar is Widow Twanky, I'm the Wicked Witch (from every panto there might be theres always a wicked witch or somesuch) You my sweet are the Fairy Godmother, Queenie could possibly be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty or if she gets her legs out she could be Dick Whittington!

[Igor61]

Madame, shall I ask Chubb to get into the Santa suit now?

[tonyav]

queenofmean
don't tempt her Tony!

Well nungate, queenie does have a cat !.

[queenofmean]

Tony I have 3

[Mammar]

Well, if Queenie does 'get her legs out' can someone help me catch Tony's eyeballs as they fly across the room?
I'll take the left one

[DaisyNonna]

How exciterating! Is Igor Dandini?

[tonyav]

Three queenie !, gawd help you lol.

Hang on whats going on with your avatar, is that you with a speedway rider, queenie ?.

[Igor61]

Techncally I'm not supposed to be in costume, but I think I'd pass for Baron Hardup don't you think Madame Daisy?

[nungate]

If she did come as Dick Whittington she'd have to borrow my cat as she is black and white and Dick's cat is usually black and white - a ginger, tabby and a totally black cat doesn't quite fit the profile
