I will print the placemats Tuesday mid-afternoon. A final decision can happen shortly before then.

Unfortunately I am not sure of my ability to attend until later. Accordingly the double decanted bottle of D91 (less angels' share and one 60ml sample to give breathing space) has been left with the Bunghole for collection at the beginning of the tasting.
