Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
All attendees should now have a PM from me detailing which bottles and/or how many pounds are needed to bring this together.
Please action soon as I want those who are donating expensive bottles to receive the appropriate funds prior to the tasting.
Thanks.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Gentlemen,
I sent a request to each of you who need to make a financial contribution a few days ago. So far only Dave and Phil have paid and Axel has responded and an arrangement has been agreed. Thank you Dave, Phil and Axel. I have had no response from anyone else despite the fact that all but one of the PMs I sent has been read by the recipient.
Could the others please action the request as soon as possible or at the very least let me know when you plan to pay your share. We will be consuming a significant value of fine Port and it is only fair to those supplying it that they receive what they are due before popping the corks.
I am out of the country for 10 days at the end of September and would like to have all of this boxed-off before I go please.
Thanks
Derek

It is with a heavy heart and a huge disappointment that I am no longer going to attend this tasting. I have sent a message to Derek and hope someone on the reserve list is going to enjoy this wonderful tasting. finances are tight and I have had to choose between the tasting and a copy of Julian’s book...and THE book won. This is one of the most exciting tastings that has been arranged in my time as a member and I hope that all attending have a wonderful night and that the bottles are as fine as I dreamed they would be. All the best, Simon
Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Sorry to hear you can't attend, Simon.
I have sent a message to the first reserve asking if he wants the vacant seat.

The first reserve has not responded to email or PM so will now offer to the next on the list.

I have added your name to the reserve list and will contact you if a space becomes available. Unfortunately that is unlikely as there are four others in front of you in the list.

Good spot. That is Constandia, who was added to the wait list twice by the former organiser. Now fixed.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Do we have any volunteers who could assist with setting up, decanting and pre-pouring on the day please?
I am not yet sure whether or not work commitments will allow me to be there ahead of the start time so if there is someone willing and able to take charge on the day of the tasting it would be much appreciated.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
I hope to be able to arrive early to help pour, but am currently in a similar position regarding uncertainty of work commitments so will be unsure of my arrival time until much closer to the day.DRT wrote: ↑11:56 Sat 15 Sep 2018 Do we have any volunteers who could assist with setting up, decanting and pre-pouring on the day please?

I can get there a bit earlier, maybe 4pm? If I start decanting the younger stuff first, and work towards older, then if someone else can get there for 5.30 to help with pouring that would be great.

Very much looking forward to this. 10th anniversary of me becoming part of TPF and meeting so many equally besotted port drinkers! At least I know who DRT is now when sending him cash!DRT wrote:Ben Read (BMHR) has now confirmed he will be taking vacant seat.
