This post to hold agreed arrangements, placemats, etc.

Temporary link for printing. Please do not quote this, as after printing the link will be removed from this post and the file removed from the server.

Draft of the placemats. (Do not print from this link. A few days before the tasting there will temporarily be a different link, to counteract problems with the caching of old drafts.)

I'm in. Hopefully I still have some port left

Post by **DRT** » 21:14 Tue 06 Oct 2015

Point of order: twenty one days notice of "an emergency" is stretching things a little too far

Post by **flash_uk** » 22:15 Tue 06 Oct 2015

I'll be away on that Tuesday

I'll be in London, but engaged in the theatre. Perhaps another day, before the 27th?

Fire curtain duty again? It's a tough life, but we will raise a glass to your selfless devotion to public safety.

That's a small queue at the end of October. Perhaps you could join us around 19:45?

You're too funny. The performance begins at 8.

I'm at a meeting that day but should be able to accommodate and so count me in.

Should it be blind-I'd be happy with sighted but will go with the flow.

Post by **PhilW** » 12:06 Wed 07 Oct 2015

No chance for me to join you that week, so I won't be able to assist with the drinking of Derek's cellar remnants.

Post by **jdaw1** » 15:28 Wed 07 Oct 2015

Permission granted: me too.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 15:23 Thu 08 Oct 2015

This emergency falls within the half term holiday of our local educational authority. Sadly, that means I am likely to be elsewhere when the unexpected emergency strikes.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 10:07 Fri 09 Oct 2015

It looks like i can make the 27th Oct, so if this emergency is still happening I would like to join if I may.

Many thanks. I really enjoyed the last emergency and I'm looking forward to meet you and enjoying some more wonderful Port.

What a shame you won't be able to join us here!

Alex M · Post by **Alex M** » 09:29 Sat 10 Oct 2015

May I take a place if there is space? I'll be flying down from Scotland that day so if anybody attending has anything to offer for adoption that would be much appreciated. If not i'm sure I can find something.

CPR 1 · Post by **CPR 1** » 18:50 Sat 10 Oct 2015

Alex - Loads of room, thus look forward to meeting you. I can provide a bottle to adopt i will send you PM nearer the time to sort out

Are you proposing an alternative venue to the Boot & Flogger?

Superfood salad with grilled halloumi, edamame beans, quinoa and avocado for me please, no starter or dessert.

Yes, that was a joke!

Starter: Welsh rarebit

Main: Chargrilled sirloin steak (medium rare) with hand-cut chips - no sauce

Alex M · Post by **Alex M** » 21:04 Thu 22 Oct 2015

Starter: Smoked salmon

Main: Chargrilled sirloin steak (medium rare) with hand-cut chips - no sauce

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 09:49 Fri 23 Oct 2015

I'll be there!

No starter and a medium rare sirloin steak and thin cut chips please. If I can have a bearnaise sauce, that would be great. If not, no sauce.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 10:16 Fri 23 Oct 2015

Looks like steak is the way to go...

Could I please have no starter and a medium rare steak and chips, no sauce.

Thank you.

Simon

Excellent.

But I think they stopped doing thin cut chips a while ago.

Can someone please confirm?

CPR 1 · Post by **CPR 1** » 15:12 Fri 23 Oct 2015

I have just had it confirmed; no thin chips, sorry Alex

Post by **jdaw1** » 16:45 Fri 23 Oct 2015

Please:
• Chicken liver parfait with toast;
• Gammon, egg and chips with black pudding.

In that case I'll have the thick chips.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:45 Sat 24 Oct 2015

• Please can somebody else print? Who?
• Please pre-pour me.

Please could somebody check the placemats?

Also, temporary link for printing added to second post of this thread.

Julian,

Thanks for the draft placemats - they seem to be missing AHB who is now joining us

Otherwise they look good and I will print

If any of my fellow emergency service people are free early this evening, drop me a line as I will be killing time in the London Bridge area from about 4.30pm... Not that we want to peak too early!

Change of plan: JDAW punctuality now likely.

Alex M · Post by **Alex M** » 17:34 Tue 27 Oct 2015

My ETA is now 1930 owing to flights and further delays.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 18:09 Tue 27 Oct 2015

Three of us have arrived and are starting...

My bottle was decanted at 14.45
