Re: Tuesday 29th July: Bring a bottle to share
Do we want to do this blind or sighted? My preference would be sighted as we're sitting in the restaurant and it's an informal affair.
Please let me know of your preferences.

I'd make a vote for blind, thinking being:
- if we are only say 6 or 7 attending, then it is not too difficult to handle blinding
- doesn't take too long to taste and vote on 7 bottles and reveal the answers, leaving plenty of time to chatter about the juice subsequently
- would make the placemat creation a lot easier as they can be created now, rather than waiting to near the event to confirm who is bringing what
Only a marginal preference, happy whatever the choice!

I have a slight preference to do this one blind, only because I probably won't decide what to bring until the last minute!

Draft of the placemats.
My first attempt at placemats, requiring some minor guidance from The Creator. Still playing around with the software so we'll see where that ends up.

Usually this only happens with video images. I have spent many a happy hour browsing video post-production forums where people try and work out the difference between square and rectangular pixels.flash_uk wrote:Something a bit weird happened when I resized the image.

Re: Tuesday 29th July: Bring a bottle to share
Who will be printing the placemats? I could do so tomorrow, if required.
And I have decided what to bring. I hope you'll like it...

Updated placemats can be found here.
Re: Tuesday 29th July: Bring a bottle to share
All, really sorry but I'm going to be a last minute absentee from tomorrow's meet. It would seem that my wife has also arranged an evening out tomorrow (and apparently I was aware!} and given there are already a number of tastings in the diary over the coming months I have reluctantly conceded this one.
