Bring a bottle - Tue 18th Nov (formerly 2nd Dec) 2025

[BRPetrie]

Ladies and gents!

It’s been ages since we had a good BYO, so I’m proposing we echo the evening of December 2nd 2024 at the Boot & Flogger.

You know the drill - bring a bottle(s) of port of your choosing (plus any extra odds and ends that you think may be enjoyed by those assembled).

Ben, 2 questions:
(1) - is the room booked?
(2) - blind or sighted?

Ben, 2 questions:
(1) - is the room booked?
(2) - blind or sighted?

(1) email has been sent to the B&F, shall advise shortly.
(2) I think sighted in general, but no objection to one or two blind bottles - would welcome any thoughts.

[mcoulson]

Blind is always fun ...m

[BRPetrie]

Blind is always fun ...m

True! Very happy to go 100% blind if that is the general preference

[winesecretary]

Blind at discretion of bringer of wine?

[flash_uk]

I’m always up for blind, though prefer to have the guesses made as soon as possible.

[BRPetrie]

Dear all,

After consulting Ollie of the B&F, it transpires we’d need to pay a minimum of £120 a head in order to secure the booking for the 2nd Dec …

However, Tuesday 18th Nov has now become vacant following the rescheduling of the 1995 evening, and Ollie has confirmed that we’d not be restricted by the minimum spend on that evening.

In light of this, I have replied to secure the room on Nov 18th, and would appreciate if everyone can confirm they are able to make the new date!!
