28 bottles
14 people
a work night (Wed)
one session

This might be deemed ambitious?

We all need to use our 2020 holiday allowance. So could take the following morning off work. Hence not really a school night.

Are you suggesting 35 bottles (e.g.)?

We could potentially have the 1960 & 1970 Private Cellar releases to compare against "normal" 1960 & 1970. Is this desirable? It appears that they are all available from our combined resources.

This is now less than two months away, so waking up activity.

I’ve freed up a couple of spaces so DRL and Hadge are promoted from reserves. Can you attend? What do you have [by PM if preferred]?

Will be confirming availability and offerings over the next few weeks.

All - not very far away, so can all interested parties now email or pm me with confirmed offers and associated bottle costs.

Would like to get this sorted by the end of this week so ASAP please.

This one has missed my radar.. - I have various bottles that could be made available, including the '22 & '34 - and anything from '58 onwards, except '61

In which event, please add me to the reserves, as I might now stand a chance!

A number of places have opened up - currently three available.

Ralph, Axel P, SCD - you're all in, but need to know by the end of this week if you want to take up your place. If you do want to come, then also need to know what bottle(s) you can offer & associated costs.

UncleTom - suspect you will now make the final cut, so probably worth sending me a note of what you have & associated costs.

Apologies… I should have dropped out of the reserves as we unfortunately have bookings and I can’t make this one. Uncle Tom… I think that puts you firmly in a seat! Enjoy all and I shall look forward to reading about it.

Right, the current plan is 15 bottles, all pre-1980.

Based on what I've been previously offered I think we currently have the following:

1934
1942
1945
1947
1955
1958
1960
1963
1966
1970
1975
1977

So, probably looking for another three bottles. Hopefully will have the list confirmed by the end of this week.

I don't have the '42 or '45 and only one '47 and one '55 - but have good stashes of all the others. Could also supply the '22..?

Current draft of the placemats (inspired by the design for 2 Oct 2009).
