It was over a month since the unexpected arrival of Lauren and her friends to the Hotel and Jon still felt a buzz of excitement when he recalled their visit. (see "An unexpected situation").
Without doubt it had been one of the best weekends since taking over the old "Majestic Hotel" from his elderly uncle. Jon had enthusiastically embraced the task of upgrading and re marketing the place in the slumbering seaside town of Ardleigh on the south coast of England.
Apart from converting the old gym area into a function room yet retaining the toilets and changing area, some paint throughout the Hotel and his most recent project of converting an old storage area into two single rooms, he had changed little to the fabric of the building. His major decision was to re name the Hotel as the 'West Ardleigh Majestic' partly recognising the location and partly from personal pleasure as the acronym now reads WAM Hotel!

During the evening he had been idly chatting with his Bar Manager/Receptionist Jenny reminiscing about Lauren's visit. The blond haired Jenny had been fascinated at the antics during the weekend which made Jon think out loud about his dream to organise a WAM event. A grinning Jenny encouraged him which made Jon consider the idea seriously.
Later that evening he produced a budget, ideas for several messy games and how he could promote it. The major expense was in providing a couple of suitable models as he was confident of attracting enough customers. He knew the co owner of 'Sinners', Adam, one of the top producer sites within the WAM community. A couple of phone calls later and Jon was thrilled that having spoken to his co owner and investor, Mark, Sinners would provide two models, Abi and Ashleigh, for the weekend event plus the services of Bill, their video/tech man providing they had access to all the material filmed at a very reasonable cost.
Jon's next task was to advertise the event through a well known website and within days he had received 10 firm offers from men keen to attend and pay £400 for the experience. The option of joining in some of the fun or purely watching was offered with the majority keen to participate.

Jon also realised he needed more girls to take part and as he couldn't afford any top models decided to approach his two University Student waitresses Chloe and Poppy. They eagerly agreed despite some intrigue, to help especially as the extra money would prove useful.
And when he mentioned the idea to Jenny he was even more delighted when the attractive Bar Manager also agreed.
To complete the team an e mail message to Lauren also produced a positive response even though she could only attend Sunday activities.

The date of the WAM Event soon arrived and the rather nervous guests arrived at the Hotel on the Friday evening where Jon had arranged a 'welcome buffet'. Inevitably the arrival of Abi and Ashleigh caused considerable pleasure from the guests, the girls having received their instructions to mingle with everyone. With Poppy and Chloe circulating with drinks in their customary uniform of short black mini skirt and white blouse, and Jenny wearing a pretty floral designed dress, Jon was very pleased. The majority of the guests were aged between 30 and 40 with a couple of younger lads who appeared the most nervous and a 60 year old whose overconfident approach had been noted by both Jon and the girls.

Having welcomed his guests Jon detailed arrangements for the weekend as Jenny handed out printed copies for the impressed guests. "On Saturday morning" announced Jon " we will start with a game of Battleships featuring our lovely waitresses Chloe and Poppy, to be followed by a Gunge Tank quiz starring Abi and Ashleigh". He continued " Saturday afternoon will feature 'The Majestic summer fete once again featuring the 4 girls from the morning and after some persuasion our very own bar Manager Jenny".
Jenny pulled a face feigning shock at this news which caused laughter from the excited guests.
"Dinner in our restaurant in the evening" said Jon " and on Sunday morning, providing we have all survived" producing more laughter from the guests " we will have a Gunge filled Dunk Tank in the morning featuring Abi Ashleigh and a special guest Lauren, with the climax of our event a 'Plastermind Quiz featuring all the girls. I'd be grateful if you'd let me know which activities you would like to participate in by breakfast tomorrow, purely to help our hard working catering department produce sufficient supplies! And of course our girls will enjoy the chance of some revenge."

The rest of the evening was spent in a jovial fashion with much excitement at what lay ahead. When the guests had returned to their rooms Jon might have been a little concerned had he overheard the conversation between Abi and Ashleigh.
" Well" said Abi "this guy Jon seems to have things well organised even though typical Mark has set us up as the 'mess queens'. And the guys seem ok apart from old Harry with the wandering hands"
Ashleigh grinned "yes my bum got squeezed too! I quite liked Jon but we cant let him escape can we? We have our reputation to consider! And yes 'dirty Harry' certainly needs special treatment" smiling at her friend.

Saturday morning breakfast was served by Chloe and Poppy who were eager to learn from Jon what awaited them in Battleships..
"Its easy girls. "All you have to do is guess the location of your opponents ships on a grid to win" explained Jon.
"And if we're wrong" inquired Chloe.
" Oh you're find out" responded Jon. "As will your opponent if you're right" with a grin in their direction. "I've left your outfits in the changing room. We can't keep the customers waiting" with a playful slap on Chloe's bottom.

In the changing room Poppy held up two skimpy bikinis "So we're to wear these. Doesn't leave much to the imagination" with a wink towards her friend.
At 11am the group mustered in the Hotel back courtyard around two chairs and a table placed in a small paddling pool. On the table were several jugs of water and underneath the table several buckets full of custard. Chloe and Poppy appeared to loud cheers. Dark haired buxom Chloe wore a pink bikini and the taller slim blonde Poppy wore an identical style green bikini. Each girl was presented by Jon with a sheet of paper on which was drawn a grid of 12 squares, 6 of which contained a 'X' indicating the location of ships. As Jon explained the idea would be for each girl in turn to suggest a square if it located a ship they would soak their opponent with a jug of water, but if incorrect they would be soaked by their opponent.
Chloe and Poppy playing to the crowd, looked shocked but that shock soon became more realistic as they discovered the water was very cold! After six attempts each the jugs were removed as both soaked girls tried to recover their composure but had little opportunity as the jugs were replaced with buckets of custard with Jon having the onerous task of pouring over the unlucky girl. Eventually Chloe was declared the winner having located all 6 of Poppys ships whilst the loser had only located 4 . The bedraggled soaking and custard covered girls whose bikini tops had just about survived to retain their modesty moved away but not before hugging the two lucky guests who seemed to enjoy the experience!

As the girls disappeared to change, the Gunge Tank was wheeled into the courtyard by Jon and Bill to the delight of the group. Even more delighted as Abi and Ashleigh entered again clad in bikinis the newly brunette Ashleigh in yellow and the blonde Abi in white. Jon explained the girls would be playing 'higher or gunge her', simply whoever turned over the lowest card would be gunged. Five large buckets of different coloured gunge were placed beside the tank with a volunteer from the group invited to tip the contents into the container above the tank.
Initially Abi was pleased to have guessed correctly for the first two rounds which meant that Ashleigh sat in the tank to be covered in red and pink gunge by Will, a 30 something guest and a grinning Harry the senior member of the group. A distraught Ashleigh was happier a few minutes later as Abi lost the next two rounds suffering a similar fate with green and yellow gunge ruining her make up and leaving her previous blonde styled hair coated to her face.
The decider which coincided with the group shouting for their favourite ended with Ashleigh losing, the unfortunate girl suffering a further torrent of blue gunge covering her from head to toe.
However as Jon had previously indicated there was a chance of revenge as in addition to Will and Harry two other group members had volunteered to participate. Firstly Will drew the lowest card and a peck on his cheek from Abi did not stop her ushering him into the tank before unleashing a further container of green gunge over him. He was followed by Rick and Bob who both suffered the same fate the two girls enjoying doing the gunging for a change. This left the somewhat lecherous Harry as the winner who cheekily asked for kisses from both girls.
"Only if you sit in the tank and then I'll sit on your lap" offered Abi.
Harry obviously agreed as Abi took her place but at the last moment before Ashleigh released what was two buckets of gunge, she swiftly exited as the shocked Harry received his double surprise, as the girls exchanged high fives!

The group made their way back to the bar except for the gunge splattered victims who showered. Whilst lunch was served Jon, Bill and Jenny set up the afternoon entertainment. Once everything was in place Jon explained the theme of the Summer Fete. In the courtyard a Dunk Tank had been placed in one corner and in the other a Pillory. Jon explained that in addition to the fun he was hoping to raise funds for a Cancer charity and therefore if you wished to have a go there would be donations made to either throw balls at the target, push the target button or throw and pour items at the pillory volunteers. Jon was happy everyone was keen especially adding for a further donation they too could be victims.

The first 'victims' for the Dunk Tank were Chloe and Poppy this time each wearing identical tight fitting t shirts with the words 'WAM Hotel' emblazoned across their chests and matching white shorts. Chloe quickly realised why she had been told not to wear a bra or bikini top after her first dunking which clearly showed the outline of her ample breasts and nipples showing through the flimsy material. The accuracy of the throwers was not great probably assisted by heckling from Chloe, but this changed when Rick showed his throwing skills dunking her with three consecutive shots, her increasingly sodden t shirt hardly fit for purpose. Combined towards the end of her 20 minute shift with both Harry and Paul the shyest and youngest member both paying to simply push the target to send her crashing into the water, Chloe received over 15 dunkings.
Replaced by Poppy whose innocent smile and plea not to ruin her hair had little effect as she too was dunked over 12 times each time completely submerging. Eventually her turn finished and she exited but not before seeking out Paul and giving him a hug soaking his shirt and trousers in the process although judging by his smile he did not care!
Abi, who had been observing proceedings, then took Jon by surprise by announcing she wanted a go in the tank and to spice things up removed her t shirt to go topless. A grinning Abi loving the attention she had gained before sexily taunting the throwers "and its going to cost you double to get these wet" as she playfully cuddled her breasts. Unsurprisingly Abi was even more popular than the others, the money rolled in, as she suffered nearly 20 dunkings to cheers from the happy crowd.

Meanwhile at the Pillory Ashleigh took her place being locked in position. Her smile soon evaporated when she saw the array of coloured cream pies and custard wheeled in on a trolley by Jon. Once again the guests seemed happy to part with their cash as for the next 20 minutes Ashleigh disappeared under a deluge of 12 pies aimed at her face, head and chest before the ignominy of having 6 cartons of custard poured over her head, the cold clammy yellow liquid seeping into the front and back of her once white t shirt. When two guests combined to pour custard into the front and back of her shorts there was a moan of ecstasy and shock from the smiling Ashleigh.
Her relief finally ended when a now dry Abi took her place.
"Why did i agree to this" wondered Abi looking at the state of Ashleigh.
"Just remember its for charity" replied Ashleigh "and watch out for Harrys wandering hands" she warned with a smile.
Sure enough Abi suffered a similar experience to Ashleigh as she was pied repeatedly and then received various cartons of strawberry and chocolate flavoured custard poured over her. The bedraggled Abi was released by Jon as she sarcastically said "how kind to mix up the colours" as she stood in front a brown and red mixture of a once glamorous figure.
"Next up we have Jenny" announced an excited Jon who was keen to see how she coped. Jenny was having second thoughts at what she had volunteered for made worse when Jon continued " We have a pie virgin in front of you today. I know you have been generous so far but please ensure our lovely Jenny gets her fair share".
This spurred the crowd into more generosity as for the next 30 minutes, longer than the others, Jenny received over 20 pies and at least 10 cartons of varieties of custard leaving her once stylish blond hair and face completely unrecognisable. An exhausted pie and custard splattered victim glared at Jon shaking her head with fury yet still managing a smile.
"Now guys " said Jon " may I remind you we have volunteers for this session, namely Rick, Pete, Nigel and inevitably Harry. Please come forward guys and sit on the chairs provided" as Abi and Ashleigh placed the chairs in a line. "I think its revenge time girls".
The confidence of the guys quickly disappeared as they watched Abi and Ashleigh wheel in a trolley containing some 20 fresh cream pie . With great satisfaction the three girls including Jenny, slowly destroyed each victim with pies to the face and body with Harry being a particularly popular target. If the guys thought that was the end they were mistaken as Abi wheeled on a further trolley containing three buckets of chocolate sauce. In turn the girls selected their targets before tipping the contents over their heads. Harry happily watched as he did not receive a chocolate coating. However his smile disappeared as he saw Abi and Ashleigh approach him with a larger container of oatmeal cake mix which they unhesitatingly tipped over him Abi whispering in his ear " Dirty Harry gets his oats at last" before hugging Ashleigh.

That evening at dinner there was a very relaxed atmosphere even though Harry was subdued. The waitresses in their usual outfits of black mini skirts and white top interacted with the guests, Jenny freshly showered and looking immaculate in a white mini dress and Abi and Ashleigh wearing crop tops and tight fitting jeans flirted with the guests.
Once the meal was complete Jon complimented the guests on their excellent behaviour although with a look in Harry's direction. He explained this was not always the case and he had devised an "awkward customer" training situation for his staff. He had already briefed Chloe and Poppy what was in store and they moved a table and chair into the middle of the room. Everyone was intrigued apart from a concerned looking Harry, who breathed a sigh of relief as Jon asked a surprised Jenny to take the seat. Jenny had no idea what was about to happen. Jon explained that Jenny was a customer who complained about both the quality and service. A bemused Jenny smiled suddenly suspecting she had been set up.
Chloe approached her "I understand Madam you complained the wine was not chilled", before opening a bottle of white wine and tipping the contents over the head of the surprised Jenny, before tipping a bowl of ice cubes inside the front of her dress as Jenny reacted with a scream.
Poppy immediately followed by saying " And I believe you complained the soup was cold" before emptying a bowl of what judging from her reaction was cold tomato soup over her head staining her dress orange. Chloe swiftly followed with a tureen of spaghetti tipped over her head and into her lap. An astonished Jenny was speechless as her humiliation was completed by both girls serving her dessert consisting of a lemon pie and chocolate pie to each side of her face. An evil Chloe added "custard or cream Madam?"
Jenny sportingly responded "Oh why not both" as she prepared for the two waitresses to pour the contents over her head.
There was a brief pause before Chloe and Poppy bowed before great applause greeted Jenny completely destroyed. As she exited "I'll get you for this Jon".
