Mon 13 August: Emergency
Mon 13 August: Emergency
The Boss has told me that the website for the book needs some really good pictures of a tasting. Fine Port being drunk by Fine Men, with a Debonaire Intensity appropriate to the King of Wines (maybe she didn’t quite say all that, but near enough), as photographed by friend-of-HI professional photographer. “So that the audience can see the passion and the culture, so that they experience being there. It’s a passion, a sport, a brotherhood.”†
When, ≥ Mon 13th August, might work for the team?
There is no requirement that there be only one date.
† I officially don’t understand the modern world. But at least I know that I don’t know.
Mon 13th August having been chosen, there is a draft of the placemats.

Re: August emergencies
I assume that you mean Mon 13th - permission sought
Re: August emergencies
That week works for me and as the week of the glorious twelfth I'm happy to adorn full tweed hunting regalia ( avec glass or stirrup cup of Port in hand) for the photo shoot for next month's Horse and Hound. Sorry, forgive me, a touch of heat stroke for which Port will be a good cure!
Re: August emergencies
13th works, happy to support the cause.
Re: August emergencies
Do we have a confirmed plan yet?
Re: August emergencies
Monday works for me too, permission has already been sought.

Re: August emergencies
I will seek permission. Do you need a professional photographer to attend the evening (and take up a seat as my guest, if he's available and if I'm given permission)?

Re: August emergencies
I am hoping at this stage that I can attend on Monday. Is there a theme?
Re: August emergencies
As we appear to have a quorum, and JDAW has been unusually quiet I have taken the liberty and booked the red room for Monday 13th
Re: August emergencies
Yikes-a Monday! I will have to re-jig something before reaffirming.
Re: August emergencies
Ok then so the theme is bring a bottle of port to share (original I know!)
Confirmed:
1) JDAW
2) CPR
3) DRL
Hopeful (to confirm)
4) IDJ
5) AHB
6) TC
7) SCD
Those who make it will order food on the night.

Re: August emergencies
Sorry guys - I will have to excuse myself from this.
I just got back from hols today and there is just too much to do on Monday. Hopefully, I will catch up later in the month.

Re: August emergencies
I will attend, with a professional photographer who will probably not be able to stay later than about 7-7.30pm (so not staying for Port or food).

Re: August emergencies
Most of you will have met the photographer — it's Guy who did the camera work at the BFT for me.

Late notice - but room for one more?
