REFURBISHMENTS TO OUR LOUNGE !

[MANEMAN]

Good day to you one and all - " LOUNGIES & JOKEYS !"

As soon as we can pick up on the old paperwork relating to our social meeting area, we will try to link recent events with past history. I have been in contact with our librarian and historian of the premises Mr. Ho recently, and due to the fact of his failing eyesight, and that his insistence in the manner of indexing was to write in Mandarin, it may be almost impossible to form a complete chain of events.

The main lounge area and the "Snug" have now been painted out in water based Brilliant White with a sympathetic relief of pastel black in appropriate areas. The annexe to the lounge is now to be vacated by us and we will be back in our old home sometime within the next three weeks hopefully.

Due to the theft of furniture in the past, all tables and chairs now have metal plates welded to the bottom of the legs and have been securely bolted to the floor. The dart players area has now been moved out of the room altogether in accordance with Health and Safety, and of course to avoid any future re-enactment of the circumstances which led to the injury of Mrs. Accrington's left breast.

This is the first re-paint of the lounge and snug since the smoking ban came into force in the U.K. and the commitee are hoping that the lack of smoke coupled with the use of water based sheen paints will delay any "Yellowing", and therefore any decorating costs for quite sometime to come. The smoking ban is not an excuse for drug taking in the lounge, and it should be pointed out that any drugs purchased from our security people (Bouncers) are strictly for personal use, - and off of the premises.

Any matters arising from this ruling that are not to your liking, please contact Thumper Harris either personally or through our online Forum.

The twice weekly entertainment organised in the past by the ladies commitee has had to have a drastic rethink due mainly to the breakup of "The Bert Austin Five" a very popular trio in our area. Our best wishes go to Bert after his by-pass surgery, and of course not forgetting the ongoing problem with his piles. Thanks and good luck go also to the other four lads who along with Bert made up the trio.

The ladies are all up for dropping Charlie on Thursday nights, feeling that maybe age is affecting the way that he is able to manage his organ these days. He is a nice old guy and we do not wish to hurt his feelings. Perhaps some of you could think of a way to break the news to him tactfully that he is no longer required ?

Our new stage demands both new acts, and a new committee made up of both Ladies and Gentlemen. In that vein we have booked monthly "Tribute Bands" from now until December. The first being "The Genny Boodman Big Band" to appear in April (Dates and times to be published at a later date.)

I will endeavour to update you on our paradigm shifting refurbishments and thoughts as and when time allows.

I thank you one and all "Loungies". :D

OK. I will chip in for some yellowing agent.... :lol:

What would you suggest as a loader for several bootable tools on a FDD, etc.? I like easy-peasy/click and go.

I like easy-peasy/click and go.

A Juke box will be temporarily installed in the interim period of us having no live stage acts. - Yes, this will be easy to use.

What would you suggest as a loader for several bootable tools.

Thumper Harris will do all of the loading. He is a big strong lad, and it would seem extravagant to employ any other method.

Regards,

Deake Head. LHM
