The Port Forum 20th Anniversary - June 2027
The Port Forum 20th Anniversary - June 2027
The Port Forum 20th Anniversary is next year and I’m looking at organising a trip to Porto to celebrate the event.
We are looking at going around the mid to end of June 2027. This event will be over several days, more details to follow.
Currently I’m just looking for an expression of interest from those who would like to attend.
If we are limited on numbers by venues, then I will run a selection process, this will be based on your influence and impact on the forum over the last 10 years.

I'm interested if you end up including non influential members, given I'm a newbie.

Should about 50 stars align, I would be interested. A reserve is more realistic.

I'm definitely interested, but will have to coordinate travel around our 40th Anniversary trip to Tahiti!

Re: The Port Forum 20th Anniversary - June 2027
Surely the most obvious route from Seattle to Tahiti is via Porto?

If there are 22 of us it is going to be ‘Magnum Week’, isn’t it?

I think you're going to need a bigger jet.

Re: The Port Forum 20th Anniversary - June 2027
I think we should travel in a convoy of classic minis, the suspensions rebuilt to take the weight of all the port gold, backed up by a series of erratically driven 1960s coaches. What could possibly go wrong?
I’ll be Noel Coward as I’m probably the only one with a smoking jacket. I nominate Zak for the Michael Caine role.
