Current draft of the placemats.

Not me. Confusion caused by arranging this tasting in another thread.

+jdaw1 please.

Put me down for this please-no F but a number of the others.

Any plans to reinvigorate this? +1 if so! Have a few in storage and could draw down given notice.

We don't seem to have many tastings in the calendar for early 2017, so I thought I'd test the appetite for getting the '80s Majors Matrix in the diary.

Anyone up for this on Thursday 9 March, at the Boot & Flogger? If you like the idea but not the date then please mention this.

Yes Mike, count me in-date works for me.

Good work Mike. Would love to come, so please count me in. I have a Taylor's 83 or Warre's 83 I can bring.

Definitely interested and date is possible, but will have to check near the time. I have G85 and T85.

That works for me, thanks Mike

Thanks, this works for me. I have F85, T85, G85, W80 and D80.

And I should have said that (amongst others) I have T80 and F83. So it looks as though we've pretty much got all covered

Ian, Simon, Simon, Charles, Dave - many thanks for confirming. The planned 15 ports currently split between 7 of us assuming Julian confirms. Ideally we should get to 10 attendees as a minimum to avoid a challenging port per person ratio. Let's see who else is interested in the next couple of weeks.

Charles - could you flag which ports you have available.

I have F85, T85, G85, W80 and D80 - I've been put down as having W85 and D85 which I haven't (well, I have the D85 but it is rubbish and wouldn't dream of bringing it) instead of G85 and T85.

Am I needed? Duty calls? I obey.

All my 1980s majors are at my father’s, which I am unlikely to visit before this event.

The date works for me (at the moment, at least).

I've got G83

Yes please... count me in...
