May 2nd has two down and one sub par - how does the 23rd pan out as an alternative?
23rd May works well for me

Unfortunately not for me I am away that week. TBH original suggested date was difficult too. We don't have anything after Mid in the diary for a bit thus how about early June?

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb

I agree 28 would be too many for one session, but would suggest around 16-18 would not be excessive for 14.

How about 89 - 05 plus the 07 and 11? if we have the 07 and 11 it might be good to include the Capela versions as well to see how these are getting on as there are no recent notes on these.
