There's also an unopened backup G70 (Oporto bottled, looks like it was shipped in 90s / 2000s) if that bottle proves to be faulty or uninspiring with air - feel free to use discretion on set-up.

Plus a backup D77 just in case we need another shot at a TCE-free bottle (again, feel free to use when setting up if the original btl is problematic - though obviously can't guarantee this one would be any better than the original...)
Fantastic Rob - many thanks. Just to check though, did you leave all this wonderful stuff at the B&F or at Davy's Woolgate?
Good question. The one in the City near Guildhall/Moorgate station where the RP event was held last year. They were definitely setting up for a port event and didn't seem surprised by the bottles being deposited...

Spot on. That's the one.

My departure from work has just been delayed- please place me at end of table and (if possible) ask my food order to be held - I now anticipate arriving c.8.00.
