They don’t know where to start but Duggee can help, Norrie spots his Party Badge in a picture.
Story
They run off to ask Duggee but before they get there they remember that they can’t ask Duggee. They will have to do it themselves.
- Roly looks for the balloons in a barrel, in the toy cupboard and in the teapot before asking Duggee. Duggee tells him they are in the balloon box, then shakes his head when Roly whispers that they are not doing a party. Roly blows up excessive amounts of balloons.
- Betty and Tag work on the guest list. They will invite Enid, Frog and the chickens. They make lots of beautiful invitations and hand them out.
- Norrie and Happy are making paper chains. They are disappointed with the results so they ask Duggee who shows them how to do it. They make plenty of decorations.
- Tag and Betty make the cake out of bread and raisins. Happy and Norrie join them to decorate it with all the things Duggee likes, custard, spaghetti, lettuce and sprinkles.
Everything is ready so they surprise Duggee. Duggee is very surprised by the clubhouse full of balloons, decorations, a sagging cake and guests, especially since it’s not his birthday. The parcel is not a present, but some figures to go into the model of the clubhouse that he has been building. Everyone is having a party inside the model clubhouse and in the real clubhouse. They try the cake. It’s disgusting.
