Harry: thank you for food order and bottle revelation.

Ok I’m now up for this. Count me in.

Mike: obvious questions.

[NigelM]

Julian

My buddy Mike has had to bail for this night.

Would you prefer I ask another person, or leave as is?

Equally happy either way and I can't see any reserves

Cheers
Nigel

Can I bring Josh along please?

Josh would be a swap out for Mike not being able to attend

It seems I am being sent to run an errand in Shoreditch tomorrow.

Mrs B has reluctantly accepted that if I am in London tomorrow afternoon that I might get lost / the trains might be delayed / the errand might take several hours longer to complete than anticipated / there might be an Underground strike / I might be temporarily held prisoner against my will and therefore return home late at night.

Is there space for a last minute attendee?

[Alex Bridgeman]

Assuming there is space for me to squeeze in, I shall bring a bottle of Dow Bomfim 1992 to prove that not everything from the annus horribilis was dreadful.

I'll also bring a half bottle of Dow Senhora da Ribeira 2022 to share at the end of the evening to remember her late Majesty's time with us. Particularly chosen as the harvest at Senhora da Ribeira was under way on September 8th, 2022.

The Committee has considered your application, and decided that this time it is to be permitted.

Assuming there is space for me to squeeze in

There is.

I shall bring a bottle of Dow Bomfim 1992 … also bring a half bottle of Dow Senhora da Ribeira 2022

The placemats have been accordingly amended. But I think they have the wrong number of something. Twelve people, two of whom are bringing two things, should be fourteen bottles, but I have labelled only thirteen. Somebody please check.

I have been hopelessly remiss with this event. May I also jump aboard? Have a G77 that is also desperate to attend.

I think I was the problem. I was listed in the twelve people, but had not declared a bottle. Now I have declared G77, you have twelve people and fourteen bottles.

I think the placemats are correct. First post definitely doesn't match and isn't up-to-date (and unless it's just my cache has contradictions in it) but the placemats seems to match the latest posts from people in the thread.

[nac]

Possibly 15 bottles. I have something for the dagger space.

[hadge]

so do i!

[mcoulson]

Right - I've printed the paperwork so thats an end to it all

[uncle tom]

Have just noticed that I am absent from the list of attendees but am listed as supplying a bottle that I am unaware of..
