Should we meet at 14:30 in the B&F? Would you be terribly upset if I were to bring a lunch bottle as well?
Notes to self:
• Evening bottle of non-SFE non-TFP ≤1994 Port;
• Decanter labels (having printed at home only those pages of the placemats);
• Lunch bottle of Port;
• Decanting kit;
• Hexagonal Thing;
• TPF lapel pin.
Anything else?

I will allow you to bring a lunch bottle. As I mentioned in my email just now, I think I will bring some of the tea filters André sent (or you could, additionally) - muslin seems unnecessary and until exhaustive tests have been performed on all brands and types of coffee filter I propose a moratorium thereof, heretofore.
Do we know when the organiser will be arriving? (Alex, that's you.)

You email says 4pm, so 4pm it is. Which is a little late for lunch, so no lunch Port.
The email was based on arriving at the B&F only to decant, presuming that we would have been elsewhere beforehand Thinging. But we should Thing in the B&F, so please revert to your original plan and say 14.30, and bring Lunch Port.

As I understand it (until I am disabused) two of us will be there from 1430, and AHB will pop over at lunchtime to decant his own bottle. Your help setting up would be welcome.

Expect to be disabused of this naïve opinion.
I'm all ears.
Will we really be just two? Will all ten others really fail to be tempted by such a plan?
Those tedious 'jobs' may get in the way of our plan to extend this tasting more generally. Too many team managers will be taking responsibility for their underperforming underlings and working twice as hard themselves as a result. (I confess, I am the leader of a team at work, the No Promotions Group. Our motto? "I would prefer not to.")
