And me...twice

As this is a TPS sponsored event would it be possible to include the TPS logo on the placemats?

I don't - but only because there isn't one with my name on it! (which there should be). Otherwise they look good!

[uncle tom]

Patience Phil - I'm planning to make a test print tomorrow to make sure it comes out OK, and then we'll tie up all the little details!

[Axel P]

Ray, I am very sorry, but I will be not able to attend. I am fully aware that this is extremely short notice therefore I am fully happy to pay my financial obligations. I wasnt following your preperation to tightly as I tought that I already send you an email much earlier.

Hopefully all bottles show up nicely.

Very best

Axel

Forgot to say: I also changed the ordering of the TN sheets, to relfect Tom’s desired drinking order. But should the ordering on the voting sheets be by vintage, or by tasting order?

[griff]

Personally I would prefer the notes section in the order of consumption.

p.s. travel and accommodation arrangements complete! Starting to get excited.

That done. I was asking about vote-recorder pages.

[uncle tom]

Giles Wigoder would like to take Axel's place.

Wilco, though Axel already removed. Any other changes to the people?

Just updated attendee list on page 1.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• Ports per email received from Tom.

Please check everything carefully!

And the obvious post has been made in the obvious place.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• Glasses re-arranged as requested by Tom, which means they even fit on A3.

Attendee list updated on page one.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• 18. The Right Reverend Graham R James (Bishop of Norwich)
  19. Lorenzo Bakewell-Stone

The Bishop’s name appears differently on different page types (glasses, tasting-notes, vote-recorder, placename). Please check all.

[JacobH]

I’m not sure the abbreviation ‟TRR” is in common usage for ‟The Right Reverend”; also isn’t it more conventional in a formal setting to refer to the office rather than the holder (i.e. ‟The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Norwich”)? See, for example, Crockford’s or Debrett’s.

[RAYC]

Good stuff - any update on anticipated costs?

18. The Right Reverend Graham R James (Bishop of Norwich)
19. Lorenzo Bakewell-Stone

Any update on who these fine gentlemen are would also be welcome - are these further embassy guests?

In terms of the front page, there are still a number of "Industry Guest" slots. What is the intention for these? I am just slightly conscious that what started off as a celebratory TPF event could end up involving fewer TPF members than non-TPF members....

[jdaw1]

I now have limited internet access from home. If somebody could gather into one post what changes are wanted, I will do them and re-upload. Thank you.

Lorenzo works for Mentzendorff, and is representing the TFP

Lord Boswell serves on the all-party Anglo-Portuguese group

Costs look likely over-run a little, but will be capped at £150.

[Deleted_User_1]

The attendee list is now complete and unless any further TPF members wish to join us we will run with 22.

The new listings are:

Alex Ellis - Director of Strategy at FCO and former UK Ambassador to Portugal
Roger Bramble - Former Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Greater London
Steve Filbey - C2C Wines
Quentin Archer - Tom's very own brother (yes there is another one )
Oz Clarke - Wine writer and broadcaster

Cost is now set at £150...please arrange payment with Tom asap.

The wines are now 'resting' at the Embassy and the Riedel glasses are being delivered on Tuesday....this is going to be epic
