Does that help me to understand whether I should bring something?quote]I think this is an unusual event in that it is a post-script to a larger event at which we will consume an as yet unknown quantity of Port. The volume required at the second event is therefore very difficult to predict.
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.

Thank you, that helps.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
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?

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.

What about JWEW = Jon Whitmore?
I will be at the port walk but unfortunately will be unable to attend the post event function at TBH
I have managed to grab a ticket from Rob so can attend TBH if there is space...as it was very short notice I only have some brown sticky stuff...assume that would be acceptable.
