Thu 19th December 2013: The Unknown Shipper at the Bell

Posted: 14:20 Wed 27 Mar 2013
by Alex Bridgeman
I would like to propose Thursday 19th December 2013 as the date for the 8th Annual TPF Christmas Offline, with a theme of "The Unknown Shipper and His Peculiar Friends". Subject to Tom being happy to organise the venue (The Bell) and the food (big steaks), I suggest the same arrangements as usual.

A reminder that space around the table is tight at the Bell. It is most comfortable with no more than 10 attending so places will be limited and we will run a reserve list, if needed.

CONFIRMED ATTENDING
  1. Uncle Tom;
  2. AHB;
  3. RLC;
  4. RAYC;
  5. CMAG;
  6. JDAW;
  7. PW;
  8. MDJ;
  9. AP;
  10. WS.
RESERVES
  1. CMAG's +1 (who is a member of TPF)
  2. CSD


If you require accommodation, the Saffron Hotel is a convenient place to stay and will see many of us there that night.

In my haste to announce my desire to attend, I failed to realise (in time) that the event is not in London. Hence, i hereby withdraw my application for a seat at the table.

1. I know what I will be bringing. Should I reveal?

2. Every year I find myself searching for this thread with ⌘F Bell, so please could the name of the thread include the words ‟The Bell”?

Don't know if the date works, but can I get on the list as a placeholder?

Thanks, money.

You can have a reserve, but there are 3 people ahead of you so don't make any firm flight bookings just for this tasting!

Done.

JDAW - would you mind creating some Bell Tasting stickers? I can then print a few days before the event.

First draft of the paperwork.
(In following diagram lilac is edge of label, green is boundary of writing zone; neither of these colours will print.)

Gentlemen,

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that I will be unable to join you at The Bell as I will be confined to barracks following knee surgery.

I believe this results in CMAG's +1 being promoted from the reserves but can the organiser please confirm this to CMAG.

I hope you have a wonderful evening and look forward to sharing more port with you all in the new year.

Vulture-like, I am circling.
Derek, good luck with your knee. Rest and have a very good Xmas.
In the meantime, if CMAG's +1 can't make it, I believe the MDJ listed next is actually me. It would be a long shot at this stage; but not entirely impossible. But I presume CMAG's +1 will jump at the chance.

Very sorry to hear that.
Daniel assuming you can make it please switch above my CMAG+1 but keep mine then top of the reserves.
You have been a key person on the site this year and you should attend.

Thanks
