Chapter 1.
The roll call
It was a dark and dreary night, a night not unlike so many nights this past winter. It had been one of those boring reptitive winters. Night after night of sheer boredom nothing to do. During the day things were not too bad, as the rain fell mostly at night. Here in this small country town though, they yearned for more, they yearned for a night life. Something to do on Friday or Saturday night, instead of watching re-runs of Television shows, that though good the first time, they were spent by the time they were made into re-runs.
So it was to the Football Club that the villagers looked to supply their entertainment. It had the only licenced premises in the whole town and so was the local watering hole for all. The Club had been fundraising for many a year now and the government had been very generous in supplying money to them. The club had contracted out and had lights installed.
And so it was that the whole of the Club committee was gathered here, tonight, for the official "Lighting ceremony".
They had built a lovely little stage area on the boundary of the field and placed a raised dais on it. Behind this stood the Club's President Rah. He had been running this club since its inception. Everything that the club had , was becasue Rah had made it so. By Rah's side was Illuminatus the Vice President. He was a new comer to the club an no one was really sure how he had got the numbers to get elected, especially Adagio the ousted Vice who now sat in front row instead of standing beside his friend.
To the rear of the PResident and Vice was the club Treasurer jonny his skillful bookkepping had led to the funds used to bringing lights to this ground.
Helping with the last bit of perperation was CLub Secretary Jaguar He had been involved in the club since birth, well just about. His father Chaunk had been Rahs right hand man at foundation. Now Chaunk was happy to be in retirement, but as always was present for official functions such as this. The players chief representative Spaced Cowboy was joking with a few of the local reporters , Mrs Tuberski and Ljube.
Sitting with Adagio was club members Jon Miller, Nikolai and Geomodder.
Putting the finishing touches to the "dummy" switch to be used during the ceremony was the Electrictian civman2000 and his offside Reismark.
Skanky burns was behind the bar preparing some cocktails for after the speeches. By his side was his good friend, Tuberski.
The rest of the gathered people were the dignatories from the big city. Snoopy369 was here today representing the Mayor of Biffo, the largest city near to the vilalge. He had travelled far to be here, and hated it already. Talking to him was Hercules the main club sponsor and owner of Biffo Department Stores.
Hidden away till the ceremony began were two more people. Behind a large curtain on the stage was a very large cake. Inside this cake were two lovely ladies Drspike and Joncha Two Dancing Starlets from the Village.
All was now in readiness for Rahs opening speech. This should be a night to remember.
