Hi Martin,

A quick question - are you bringing all of the bottles you've listed, or are you offering some for adoption?

If you want something unusual, I could bring Burmester.

Alex

Hi Alex

Burmester would be a great to bring ...

Please note the first post has been updated to show which bottles are being brought by which person.

Please say if you can't find the bottle you've been assigned.

mcoulson · Post by **mcoulson** » 16:55 Tue 27 Jun 2023

Hello All - On the first post is a link to the draft food order.

The items have come from the present default menu choices.

If there are items in RED then they no longer exist – can you let me know your new choice (NAC, IDJ123,JDAW1)

If you don’t have a default choice then please let me know so I can add your food order (AHB,BRPetrie) and add it to the default choice list

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 23:02 Tue 27 Jun 2023

Sorry, I thought I did have a default food order.

It should be:
- no starter
- steak, medium rare with thin chips and green beans / shallots
- no default dessert

Thanks

Don’t forget to let the Boot & Flogger know how many glasses we will need. It’s usually no. of bottles x no. of people + a few spares.

Tis all in hand ... Room was booked ages ago ... I'll tweak the glasses Monday as we have 'found' more port and place the order for food ... Last chance to change your food order
