The venue was a golf club near Horncastle, an unlikely venue for a
bikers November the fifth party you might think. It is actually a
great place for a party, a pretty large bar with various venue rooms.
We arrived about three o’clock and got the tents up a bit sharpish.
It was at this juncture that things took something of a downward turn.
We decided to celebrate our arrival and await the opening of the bar
with a few snifters.
Some time later one of the chaps enquired of the time. “Its
about half past eight” I slurred. Unfortunately it was only
5.50, joy unrivalled. We cheered the slow passage of time and headed
for the bar, little knowing that it had been open all the time.
The evening drew on the bands tuned up, struck up, played and packed
up, I am assured that they were very good too. Missed the blighters
again. In between we had a couple of successes in the raffle draw.
Unfortunately for our mucker Smiler (Mr Shandypants) he had taken
an early bath, little knowing that he had won half shares in a bottle
of Scotland’s finest. We duly voted upon which half was his,
being fair minded we decided that because he is such a fine chap we
would award him the top half, as we all know that is the best bit.
I am afraid that due to his absence we had to drink our way through
his half to get to the redoubtable Polo’s share of the old nasty.
The firework display was absolutely spectacular to the extent where
several old soldiers were seen to throw themselves to the ground in
fear of incoming ordnance. At least that is what I thought later,
whence I discovered that old Ron had fell over on his way from the
bar.
The Shim Whittlers are a fine bunch, friendly, very party oriented
and organisers of fine do’s. This was the second of their bashes
I have attended this year and I look forward to the next. The only
real club rule they have is that any member must carry a bottle opener
at all times. Need I say more.
Goodnight.
