The placemats will be finalised during the afternoon of Monday 2nd, and printed by me on the 3rd. Doubtless his Supreme Dictatorship will, before the late afternoon of Monday 2nd, give us guidance.

Subject to any late joiners, the line-up will be as follows:

Fonseca 1977 (WS1)
Gould Campbell 1977 (WS1)
Calem 1977 (WS1)
Taylor 1977 (RAYC)
Niepoort 1977 (RAYC)
Morgan 1977 (RAYC)
Sandeman 1977 (jdaw1)

I will also be bringing a guest, DAL, who is right-handed.

The booking has been changed to the board room due to the better light and the fact that DAL is 6ft 8inches tall. Please do let me know if you would like to revert to the tunnel instead.

Steaks have apparently been ordered.

When do people want the Sandeman 1977 decanted: 06:30 in the morning, or at about 17:30? (Previous TNs: not liked in NY; loved at Quinta do Porto; light in NY; thirsty Cookie; corked at the vertical.)

After some discussion with DrDirk I think it should be decanted ~ 17:30. However I would like to suggest to open the bt (just pull the cork) 3 hours ealier.

regards

Can’t decant at work nowhere suitable to do it. (Well, the only place is dangerously near the legal-compliance woman who I have heard utter the phrase ‟birch switch”. That counts as ‟nowhere suitable to do it”.)

There is nothing useful that can be done anywhere near a legal-compliance woman, regardless of what she says in polite conversation. Having previously been married to one, I know this to be an indisputable fact.
