Good evening and a Happy New Year to all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Tonight we may try to keep our proceedings on the quiet side, in total contrast to all our recent festivities. So tonight, our tailcock will be the optimistically named "Summer Breeze" more in hope than expectation of an improvement in our weather.
On the Hot plate tonight, we have a delicious Cottage pie (we had a few spare cottages around the estate so why not?) on the pudding trolley a blast from the past in the shape of a jam roly poly with lashings of custard! Of course we will also have the usual volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies ready for our members.
Owing to adverse weather conditions the bungee will not be in use tonight and we have also decided that the hot tub on the North Tower will also be unavailable. We do have many other delights for our members, the indoor pool is ready for use, and we have installed a smaller hot tub down in the cellars by the pool, for those members who do like to use the hot tub) The games room have a wide array of games and amusements for our members use. Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals including the Wheeltappers Gazette! Somewhere up in the gallery the Minstrels are already tuning up the madrigals and fugues and in the ballroom the Tone Deafs are returning with a selections of the Hits of Yesteryear!
Igor has returned from his short holiday relaxed and ready to serve drinks, hide coats and generally be the masterful ancient family retainer! He will be ably assisted by his minion Frank who has returned from Minion School a reformed (we hope) character!
Finally, a quick Thank you to Queenie for taking over last weeks's meeting owing to my indispostion
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
carriages at midnight

A verse to greet you all this rainy evening:
Goodbye to fifty shades of Cornish cloudy skies, the wind and rain
And so nice to see more rain shine out again
Eight weeks of rain and river flowing bank high
And welcome the Nungate Towers, you brighten up the sky.
The woods are drab grey and green. a ferocious southern breeze
And not so pleasant to sit in the icy shade of the trees
For the weekend idiotic visitors gone to sea
And I alone the Towers woods belong to me.
The rain swelled the moat by silent Queenie trees flow
And sharp hued piranhas flitted to and fro
And wildering Daisy-Nonnas of every different hue
Of pink and white and yellow, red and blue.
Tone's lovers gone to sea and the Towers goats' bay
And the Towers woods all mine on January's first rainy day
Hello again to cloudy skies and Igor's wine and chains
And so nice to see the Tailcocks shine out again.
