Re: CANCELLED - Wed 15 December - Bring a Bottle to Share
I’m hoping we have been able to move the deposit to the new date. I shall tentatively schedule the new date for Monday 28 Feb.

I’ll update the planner to show this.
Re: CANCELLED - Wed 15 December - Bring a Bottle to Share
Given the possibility that the Churchill event may have to be on the 1st March due to limited availability on their side, would we want to move this or have the two on back to back evenings?

I'm relaxed about moving this one. I've not arranged a date with Oscar yet - we were waiting to see how Omicron developed.

Please see the first post of this thread which now has a proposed new date (Wednesday 11th May) for the tasting and asks attendees to confirm they would still like to attend.

Completely gutted to say that I shall no longer be able to attend with the new date. But, I shall drown my sorrows with the 2 bottles of Bride Valley Rose Bella 2018 I had put aside for this which are absolutely yummy and I recommend you all buy and try. I hope to give Oscar a glass of it another time.

Re: RESCHEDULED: Quevedo Closure Experiment and Bring a Bottle to Share with Oscar
I should be ok for the new date but I won’t know for certain until nearer the time as I am reliant on Mrs Read not being in Barcelona, which she has been warned might be required at some stage in April or May.

I’ve had some great trips to Guernsey. Hopefully more to come. I was on the last ever BA flight to leave Guernsey in about 2008 or something. Pilot got permission to do a low level fly past over the airport to say goodbye and we all got served fizz!winesecretary wrote:Regret am in Guernsey on business on 11 May.

Confess to being thoroughly confused, mostly by the weird state of the attendee list in the opening post. I’m showing third on the reserves, but confirm available for 11 May.

Wednesday 11th May works for me. And I have an excellent bottle (“interesting bottle” which “doesn't have to be Port”) to bring for our guest.

@ benread - I do like the island, and pre-Barclay Sark was a regular for family holidays when I was a lad... but it isn't glamorous
@ flash_uk - I had just not seen that coming...

When we had to cancel the original date in December I removed from the list of attendees the people who decided not to travel for the briefly proposed “bring a bottle” alternative.
When I get the time I’ll trawl back through the thread and recreate the original list to offer first option to the original attendees.
