THE VILLAGE HALL PACKAGE DEAL

Michael Edwards

 

 

THE VILLAGE HALL PACKAGE DEAL 

 

From January right through to Christmas

the hall is looking for business

and I’m pleased to report good news received

its very first booking has been achieved.

 

Let’s celebrate – it’s a bit of a coup

the booking’s been made for a bride’s hen do

so we’ve offered her  a package deal

a 10% discount which should appeal

if booked  for the wedding venue as well.

 

What’s more we’ve extended it to 15%

if it’s also booked for the divorce event

and a further reduction we can make:

20% if it’s booked for her wake. 

 

But it’s a package deal as the name implies

and there are conditions to emphasize:

the bookings must be made

and deposits paid

by tomorrow night latest I’m afraid.

    I know that place, but I won’t be able to book it until the week after the next millennium. Can I have a bigger discount as you now have a few weeks to organise your books?

      I'll put it to the committee - this was an actual light hearted discussion at the last meeting - love these meetings as the members all have a daft sense of humour as I do.

      • Goldfinch60

        I wish all discussions at meeting were light hearted.

            Maybe you can sweeten the offer by including, their children's christening/ baptism , 1% Oxford the first child,, 2% for the next one and so on, and the children's wedding and also the grand children. I better stop here or else the church will end up paying them

            I reckon you have got it just about right with this post Michael.. at least as far as my previous old village hall and committee were concerned... I think there must be an instruction manual that they all share...... A cracking scribble up there too.. I'm sure that is not the correct term for this artistic form but know you will understand what I mean....... Neville
