GANGSTERS BALL 2011

reported by Pink Pistol Anne

About 100 people turned up to enjoy the Ball....Many thanks, Ted and Shirley!
Lovely dancing, a great variety, including the Viennese Waltz, the Chicken Dance,
Zorba......great live music by the Mobstars (Bill Roy and Alan Campbell).

Best dressed Gangster and Moll prize went to Teri and Maureen....Teri looked
impeccable in spotless white gloves and scarf. As a mobster he certainly must be
contracting out any of the dirty work to other gangs.

Dave was amazing as the Joker, the most famous gangster of Gotham City. He
couldn't recall the exact shade of lipstick he wore, but it contrasted very well with the long yellow coat.

I had a pink pistol and shot several women who looked at David, (serves them right!)
then I spoke to Ted and suddenly Shirl came at me with a shotgun! She said "that's not a gun, THIS is a gun!"

Ted himself tried to shoot Clem and me later when we stuffed up the dance line
doing the Murra. He reached for his gun and accidentally dropped his stash of
thousands of dollars worth of greenback notes over the dance floor! That really
caused some excitement. And, Ted, that's why ladies carry their stash separately in their handbags or stocking tops.
