May I share the invitation at Plumtopia or is it a strictly invite-only guest list?

Please do so. You are the inspiration for this post; the wider it gets circulated to his fans, the better it would be!

Sounds like a wonderful evening! And perhaps Mr Wooster and Mr Fink-Nottle could be persuaded to end the evening with their famous knockabout cross-talk act…

Good idea! Hope they can regale us with that act next time round. We would also need to ensure that Gussie’s pre-performance orange juice is not laced with any of our normal tissue restoratives.

Let’s please request Mr. Spink-Bottle (or is it Fitz-Bottle) for an encore of his Market Snodsbury Grammar School prize distribution speech. Old Tom Travers and Bertie have been left alone for too long.

Good thought. I am sure your request shall be given a serious consideration by the organizers.
