Annoyingly, I can't go. I have my last class that day, and I'm introducing a film in the film festival next day.

Agghh. Nightmare. So that takes you out of any tasting on Thursday 21st as well, which I think we were lining up to be a GC vertical?

I'll will also be missing these. I will be in Liverpool on the Thursday and Friday in London just doesn't work.

Yeah, I'll have to get back on this one. It's just impossible for me to do Thursdays / Fridays.

Has anyone noticed how close we are to the date of the BFT and yet the catalogue is not online yet? Could this be because there are some ports being shown which are not yet known about?

How exciting.

Catalogue now on-line. One 2014 VP as far as I can ascertain.
