Hi Neil
I am going to have to back out as we are now moving into our new home Tuesday! Really sorry - if I owe anything let me know!

Mine hasn’t replied. He’s at-risk. Ask yours.

Answer received: he won’t know whether available until Tuesday. If on Tuesday there’s still a spare seat, I can ask him at noon-ish (what time will you be printing?), and he might or might not then be available.

HTWH has withdrawn, so we're now at 12. If attendees drop below this I'll consider reducing the number of bottles.

The wines coming direct from the Churchills have arrived at Casa Colman, so now just need to decant 11 bottles this evening.

Tube strikes: 'High chance' of no London Underground on Tuesday: some people will want to leave early. 18:00 for 18:30?

Lordy, very wrong. Updated. Thank you for checking — especially because you aren’t a usual checker person.

I will try and get there as close to 6pm as possible but it might be closer to 6:30 I'm afraid.

All decanted & all seem good.
Not convinced the 84 Fojo is what it says on the label though. Will update further tomorrow.

I’m aiming to be there some time between 1700 and 1730. Will bring the placemats with me.

Julian - can you please post on here when the final version is ready to print. I'm working in a basement office today without any phone connectivity so picking up emails/WhatsApps is tricky. Planning on leaving here at 1600.
