Works for me Mike.

[CPR 1]

Excellent idea Mike, I was thinking only earlier today of suggesting something very similar. I am in.

[winesecretary]

Regret non-availability due to being in Madeira scouting out stuff. Have fun!

[forest26]

Having missed the last one, it would be nice to meet up. Count me in.

[nac]

Tentative yes.

[nac]

Now non-tentative yes.

[flash_uk]

With five of us confirmed, I’ll book the Green Room instead, as it doesn’t feel like we’ll get many more takers.

[hadge]

please can you put me as a tentative yes.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I'm a possible yes; not sure at the moment but might get a domestic pass since Wednesday is Mrs B's night out with the girls.

[hadge]

I'm now a yes

[jdaw1]

Maybe, please.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I’m now a confirmed yes.

[flash_uk]

I'll submit entries from the standard food order on Monday evening so let me know if you want anythihng changed.

Just need an order from Harry - using the B&F menu.

[jdaw1]

Permission sought.

Mike: who do you want to make the placemats?

[SCP-DFF]

I have so much sympathy for you guys. Definintely you should have this random evening of port-tasting. Definitely. And Julian should definitely go. You poor lads. Don't continue to feel unsettled. That's not a pleasant thing. So, go taste, take notes, and be more settled. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!

Just need an order from Harry.

smoked salmon and then sirloin steak (rare) with skinny fries and carrots please

Assume this is sighted?

Let’s do it blind. I think this is Harry’s first visit to TPF, so blind will give him a chance to see first hand how crap we are at guessing wines

[nac]

Excellent. Hopefully this time I can get 77 & 85 into the correct (non-reversed) decades. Although not at all confident...

[hadge]

for placemats, HTWH and right handed.

[flash_uk]

Food order submitted. Placemats created, link in top post. Could someone please check.

[idj123]

Confirmed to Organiser by PM but unable to make it (even though in plain sight I hadn’t noticed it was on a Weds and Wednesday’s are generally difficult for me). Enjoy!

Bottle decanted at 7am. Nose seems fine.

[jdaw1]

Decanted 13:40. Not convinced nose was perfect.
