This post to hold plans as and when agreed, or at least proposed.

Date: Tuesday 9th April 2024 Postponed (Easter is 29 Mar to 01 Apr; half term is then until 12 Apr, but I can’t make the week of 15th–19th Apr).

Location: Boot & Flogger (room requested).

Theme: sighted, Port not frequently seen.

Quorum: two people shall be a quorum.

Attendees:

1. Julian W. (Passadouro 2000, Infantado 2000)
2. Alex B.
3. Neil C.
4. Martin C.
5. Tom A.
6. Ian J.

Doesn’t love us enough:

• Miguel S.
• George G.

April is looking rather dry.

Alas I can’t make the week of Mon 15th, and B&F is Tue 23rd April (corrected following AHB grumble). Can a quorum make Tuesday 9th April 2024? (Which, alas has the disadvantage of being in half term.)

Simple theme: sighted, Port not frequently seen.

No it’s not! You know it’s not because I’ve already told you it’s not!

It’s Tuesday April 23rd!!!


I might, perhaps, be able to make it.

Is theme acceptable?

Can confirm!

Alas, I can't make this gathering, I'm only in London from Sun 21st until Wed 24th.

Probably available.

Regret am in week long hearing

I'm up for this .... and I have something in mind to bring as well .....

Count me in - will bring a bottle that has not had a tasting note posted for fifteen years.

I should be ok.

First post updated.

I’ll bring Passadouro 2000 and Infantado 2000, neither of which is frequently seen.

Please may I join - will rummage around for smth interesting!

Will bring 1985 Royal Oporto.

Or, how about 2001 Quinta do Vale Donna Maria - for which there's no tasting note on the index?

Organiser to decide.

Surely you already know what the organiser's reply will be...

There is to be a decanting experiment on Thursday 11th April. If people prefer that there be only one event that week (but why?), then this one will be postponed. Pls express preferences.

I'm very much up for both these events but two events in three days I fear is a bit much and more enjoyment might be had all round if we spread them out a bit ....

Postponed. I have informed the B&F of the postponement.

If this is postponed until autumn I maybe able to attend.
