[mcoulson]

sign me up for this please

[Glenn E.]

I should be available, sign me up!

[flash_uk]

Yes please

[rich_n]

Yes please.

No ideas for a theme unless we want to do something radical like white port (given the impending alleged arrival of summer at that point of the year).

[Big Love]

Yes , please!

[NigelM]

Yes please, twas such fun tonight

[Justin K]

Yes, yes, yes! Port with a 6 at the end perhaps but not ‘66?

[Mike J. W.]

Yes please. These are always fun. Tonight's (this afternoon for some of us) was a great time.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Yes please. I hope to be awake for the next one.

[Mike J. W.]

Is this still on for next week? If so, how about a theme of VP's that are 15 years old or less? It would be interesting to see how more recent, younger Ports are doing similar to the 2011 tasting you all had in the UK the other day.

[akzy]

Yes please!

We're still on for next Thursday. We were chatting about this tasting as we left the 2011 event.

I'm happy to go with the theme of Young VP (15 years or less). I might pull out a half of Skeffington 2011 for the evening.

I've updated the list of people interested on the first post but Neil might appreciate confirmation from those who expressed an early interest.

@neil - do we want to use Zoom (which I can't help with as I only have the free account)? I think the alternative of MS Teams is still free if we want to switch over to that. Or we could try using WhatsApp - which I've used successfully for small conference calls of up to 4 people.

(not Neil, but I can provide zoom invite if wanted; I believe Neil may have a paid account also now)
