Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
Currently away and unsure what I will bring just yet.
For food, please may I have mackerel for starter and chicken + lentils for main.

Perfect. Thank you.jdaw1 wrote: ↑21:51 Sat 08 Apr 2023 Alex will be busy with The BFT, so I’ll ask for food orders from the menu.
For some but not all people I have guessed — well, copy-pasted. Please inspect the current draft of the food order, and approve or amend or instruct, as appropriate.
Zak, Wolfgang, Harry, Ben: please reveal which bottle you’ll be bringing.

Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
I tried to move us to the Red Room given that we are now 10. Unfortunately the Red Room is already booked by someone else. I have been assured that 10 of us plus 100 glasses will fit into a room capable of holding 12.
However, if anyone happens to be close to the B&F in the next couple of weeks, I’d appreciate a second opinion.

Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
JDaw did recommend I post here to the forum, but I don't think I could handle such a big night out on this trip. As it stands, I am in the London area just prior to this tasting. I wish you all a wonderful tasting (which, by that line up, you will certainly have), and if anyone should want to meet up during the 10 days immediately preceding this tasting, please send along a PM.

Because of table-space concerns, the placemats will need trimming. Neil: please volunteer to print.
Though not yet — Zak and Ben to reveal.

Yes, can print. However, not going into work on 24th, so the placemats will need to be ready to print on morning of Tuesday 18th. Can’t guarantee being able to do them after this.jdaw1 wrote: ↑23:32 Mon 10 Apr 2023 Because of table-space concerns, the placemats will need trimming. Neil: please volunteer to print.

Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
Looking good for me attending. I will be bring a unknown bottle (It was bought as one of the bottles on the table already), but I think that it might be one of the others.
Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
Then don’t. I can trim, perhaps with scissors.nac wrote: ↑15:44 Tue 11 Apr 2023Yes, can print.

I’m pleased to say that we have just been upsized from the 1931 room to the Ovens. We might rattle around a little, but at least we won’t be cramped.

I believe that the food order is good. Usual rules apply: if there’s an error, it’s your fault, because you didn’t check. So check.

The ring of the T70 shows 63. Otherwise, I have cross checked and it all seems good.

Since we're only 11, it's also a chance for me to bring a guest along. Quite correctly his initials are BH, which fits very nicely after Harry's guest, whose initials are AH.

Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
Really sorry all, my wife is now away on business that week and so whilst I have been trying to find alternative childcare arrangements I have been unsuccessful and so will have to unfortunately bow out of this.
Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
You, and your Taylor 1970, will be missed. See you at a subsequent event.
Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
have these been printed? as I might bring the T70 as an extra
Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
I'm also 100% for this dinner
Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
Hurray!
Not yet printed. Likely to happen on the day. So thank you for the T70, which has been re-added to the placemats.
