JDAW and I will be eating dead cow and drinking Vintage Port at The Crusting Pipe on Wednesday 30th November.

The theme for the evening is "Bring a bottle of Vintage Port wrapped in foil". Start time is likely to be around 18:30.

Any volunteers?

I would, of course, love to attend but my calendar this week (plus potentially the 30 Nov strikes, if these are going to have any impact on train/tube) could make it difficult - i put my chances at only 33% at this moment so count me out if you need firm commitment now.

I will try but as with Rob it depends on transport and how that is affected by the proposed strike...otherwise...I'm in...any theme?

Indeed, the National Day of Industrial Inaction could be an inconvenience.

Could the theme be non-blind? Just ‟A Bottle of Vintage Port”.

OK.

Although it might be an inconvenience, perhaps we owe it to the down-trodden masses (each of whom probably has a better pension arrangement than any of us) to support their cause by having a night of decadent excess.

The Boardroom at TCP has been booked in my name for 18:30.

What am I bringing?

I don't know yet. I'll tell you tomorrow.

This is just wrong. Please tell me it is a mistake?!?!?!

Surely you meant something different?

"seeing you in Wednesday."?

Apart from that it all looks fine.

Sackcloth and ashes.

If i can make it, do you want F85, G83, D80, Ck67 or Cr63?

Well....very nice indeed.

In which case, i will leave jdaw1 to choose what he wants to drink from my cellar out of: F85, G83, D80, F77, F70 (base neck/just below base neck), Ck67 or Cr63 - i am equally excited by opening any of them.

I will decant tomorrow am based on what the placemat says!

The C67 please sir.

Perfect.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• RAYC, JDAW, DRT;
• C67, T77, W77, Mz85.

JDAW can print (unless others who can print will be arriving early).

Decision decisions: decant at 6am, or just after 6pm?

A rather easy one imho.

Decant @ 6am, drink, then open another bottle @ 6pm to enjoy the night of.
