I have no idea how many people will reach TBH but I intend to be one of them and will have a mag of emergency VP waiting when I get there. All who make it there are welcome to share in my emergency. If they choose to bring something with them that is for them to decide.
There is a suspicion that JDAW also intends to bring a Superlarge What (at least this was intimated earlier in the thread). I would agree with Phil and follow up, saying that I'm not sure this is necessary. A Normal or even Large What would be adequate. A Superlarge might leave us with an inelegant amount to consume in a short space of time.PhilW wrote:So far I believe we have DRT, AHB, JDAW, PW, DJ, RB attending TBH afterwards, with RAYC and WS busy elsewhere, CMAG attending BBR but unknown regarding afterwards, and THRA still looking for a ticket if anyone has a spare.
We have a magnum from DRT, a standard bottle from DJ, and I intend to bring 'something'; that should already provide an average of a half-bottle per person for 8 people. With the option for post-port beer also, this may be enough?

Splendid idea.DRT wrote:Should we pre-order six emergency steak burgers, the cooking of which could be initiated by a phone call from a taxi?
Good idea, yes. But might THRA be joining us now? Might the order be 7?jdaw1 wrote:Splendid idea.DRT wrote:Should we pre-order six emergency steak burgers, the cooking of which could be initiated by a phone call from a taxi?
Yes, but I already know what it is.DRT wrote:The magnum of what has been double decanted and re-corked for transportation to London.
Colour = looks yummy.
Nose = smells yummy.
Taste = yummy.
Are we to be blind?
