Better Off Dead – September Meeting (Change of date and play)

NOTE CHANGE OF DATE – WEDNESDAY 12 SEPTEMBER

NOTE CHANGE OF PLAY
An opportunity to see the Alan Aykebourn’s new play Better Off Dead at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
Alan Ayckbourn’s latest play is a comedy of confusion about an grumpy old man who might not be so grumpy after all.

An opportunity to see Alan Ayckbourn’s latest play ‘Better off Dead’

‘Larger than life and highly irascible author Algy Waterbridge is hard at work on his 33rd crime novel featuring blunt Yorkshire cop DCI Tommy Middlebrass. But it’s been a while since Tommy was on the TV, Algy’s wife is getting frighteningly forgetful and his adoring PA sometimes oversteps the mark. With constant interruptions, it’s almost the last straw when old acquaintance Gus Crewe turns up to interview him for the press with alarming consequences.

But as Algy’s fictional character takes him over and real people introduce themselves into the dramatic climax of his novel, the lines become blurred and it might just be that fiction, misunderstandings and mistaken identity are closer to the truth than they seem.

Tom tells me that it is important that you book your own tickets for the performance by ringing the box office on 01723 370541 and mention that you are part of the 41 Club group. The performance starts at 19:30

Quoits

Many thanks to all the participants  of the annual Quoits competition at Beck Hole.  The weather was a little dull but the atmosphere was charged.   A good night was had by all with the victors this year without losing a single game  Mark Laws and Alex from round table. Congratulations to you both for your undefeated performance.  Second place went to Mike Shingler and David Henderson so well done.

We raised £50.00 for the Quoits captains charity ( the air ambulance) which was much appreciated.
A big thanks to John Morley (Beck Hole Quoits club) for hosting the competition and to Glenys at Birch Hall pub for food and drinks afterwards.
Thanks again to everybody
Darren

Chairman Simon’s Mirth Prescription

A lady walked into a pharmacy and told the pharmacist that she needed some cyanide. The pharmacist said,
“Why in the world do you need cyanide?”
The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, ‘I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! They’ll throw both of us in jail!’ The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, ‘Well, now. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.’

A man walks into a pharmacy, buys a condom, then walks out of the store laughing hysterically. The pharmacist thinks this is weird, but hey, there’s no law preventing weird people from buying condoms. Who knows, maybe it’s a good thing.

The next day, the same man comes back to the store, purchases yet another condom, and once again he leaves the store laughing wildly. This piques the interest of the pharmacist. “What could be so funny about buying a condom, anyway?” So he tells his assistant “If this guy ever comes back, I want you to follow him to see where he goes.”

Sure enough, the next day the same man is back, he buys the condom, and again starts cracking up with laughter, then leaves. The pharmacist tells his assistant, go follow the guy. About an hour later, the clerk comes back to the store.

“Did you follow him? Where did he go?” asks the pharmacist.
The clerk replies “Your house.”
