Neil, Charles: fourteen bottles of Port, only three of us. To drink it all we should have an early start — rather than the usual 18:30, let’s say 17:45.

Just discovered I've got a diary clash which I can't resolve, so unfortunately won't be able to make this.

Only three of us is light. Should we choose a different day?

Yes, the lack of uptake is a little strange but I guess there is a tasting the week before and so maybe we should seek to convene on an alternative date.

I dunno, it seems to me that the theme is appropriate for an event that some people aren't able to attend.

An event fit for a King's coronation.

I can’t attend the tasting because one of my children has a birthday this year.
