Even at the Slaughter House BC ( where usually anything goes ) Bigot was experiencing far too many incidents of inappropriate behaviour at the tables. Already the club has lost several window panes due to flying bridgemates. Far too many members had acquired a reputation for being troublesome, awkward and darn right nasty. How dare they aspire to the antics of the club's beloved chairman. Whatever next ?
Drastic action was needed. The problem seemed to be spiralling out of control. The solution was obvious. All culprits were obliged to wear the brightly labelled " naughty hats " which were , to put it mildly , very large cone-shaped monstrosities. These could easily be piled one top of another all evening long......if need be.......as symbols of shame, and items of ridicule and utter embarrassment.
All those with hats, removal of them required payment of a fine : £5 for the first, £10 for the second, £20 for the third ....and so on.
Sadly for Bigot, this radical new approach to behaviour control has failed to stop the problem of widespread misconduct. However, the club is now one of the richest in the country. Its cash assets stand at a staggering £43,652 .....and still rising. This has enabled the club to boost membership by drastically reducing table money, and offering big cash prizes in all competitions and duplicate events.
What is it they say about every dark cloud........?
