I will have to make you 1st Reserve as we are maxed out at 14 at the moment. Four have yet to confirm and others confirmed before knowing the date so watch this space :wink:

Provided that we weren’t reblending the port with some added KillerB, that’s OK.

Question:

Given that this thread deviated from the original theme, should I start a new thread now that time and place have been confirmed or should I change the title of this thread?

Yes. But do it by posting in this topic and then splitting that post to a new topic. (I suspect that the split will drag with it all of this topic’s subscriptions: perhaps people will let me know by PM whether it works.)

Umm. Has the split happened? I'm trying to keep occasional tabs on my baby, even though it's gone off and found a career of its own...
