(Around 30 people attended the September meeting including a new attendee who signed up as a new member)
This meeting comes close to Halloween so Fancy Dress is welcome (but optional) and there will be a prize for the best outfit. Choice of any Fancy Dress is wide open – could be Laurel and Hardy themed or maybe any vintage comedy, etc or just general Halloween (not too frightening, we may have youngsters in!).
Judge James Finlayson sentences the Tipton Slasher to hang. The Boys are the detectives hired to protect the judge when the Slasher escapes vowing revenge ...
Little Stanley and Oliver are the image of their fathers, Stan and Ollie. The adult Boys are looking after the children while the wives are out and the little ones’ noisy mischief earns them an early bedtime. Getting ready for bed includes a nickel for the first one in his pyjamas, a lullaby sung by Ollie and then that final glass of water…
The Boys arrive in Scotland seeking an inheritance from the McLaurel estate. They inadvertently enlist in a Highland regiment and are posted abroad where they soon prove to be a major annoyance to Sergeant Finlayson, not least when he observes them enjoying their litter picking duties while dancing to a bagpipe tune.
The cost of the evening is £3 for members (£4 for non-members - including lifetime
membership to the Men o' War Tent) and £2 for under age 16 years.
The usual tea/coffee/soft drinks and biscuits are provided for the break.
