I will book the venue.
However, I request that we relocate our meeting on Feb 26. After Helen had advised us that
TBH could not accommodate us on Feb 15, I booked a table at
Davy's at Canary Wharf, which is managed by Ian Wright - the former manager of
The Crusting Pipe back in the days when it welcomed regulars and was run by a man who loved his port.
Helen then called me late this afternoon to say that she had been able to juggle things around, call in a favour and freed up the private room for our use on Feb 15th.
A little embarrased by the lengths that Helen must have gone to to help us out, I would like to accept her offer of the room on the 15th but also want to be fair to Ian.
So, I would like to suggest that on Feb 15th we meet at the Bung Hole and on Feb 26 we meet at Davy's at Canary Wharf.
Any objections?
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
