Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
I would prefer not to reveal as mine is a novelty as much as (hopefully) pleasant drinking.
And it allows me to change my mind at the last minute.

Two more slots. Volunteers?
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
I would like to still come along, but until I move to Dorset cash flow is all tied up, so I would need to not have the dinner and just contribute to service. If that is okay, then I could offer a Niepoort 2005 as a comparison bottle or find something older if prefered. If you would rather have the space for a full participant, I totally understand and free up my seat.
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
I can bring a GC83.
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
More than happy to bring something along, how about a Passadouro 92 or 00 or if preferred a Ni 00?
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
Thank you. Yes please.
The Passadouro 1992 please.
You’re in. No need for the Niepoort 2005, but if you have a spare Niepoort that matches the vintages of one of the Broadbents I would accept that.Doggett wrote: ↑09:36 Sun 07 Apr 2019I would like to still come along, but until I move to Dorset cash flow is all tied up, so I would need to not have the dinner and just contribute to service.

We have enough. One more, either a Ni matching a Bb, or something with age, would be welcome but is not necessary.

I should be able to print the placemats, but will also not be super early (I don't think, at the moment).
Please could I have no starter, sirloin steak (medium rare) with a bearnaise sauce.
What's a gratin potato and can I have chips instead?

We hope this will not cause any problems and that we can cancel our participation. We hope you have a very nice tasting.

Please may my choices, below, be added to the food order:
Starter - none.
Main - Gammon with everything including black pudding. Chips are preferred to skinny fries.
Savoury - the “Super extra cheesy plus plus more cheesy Welsh rarebit”, if possible.
Thanks,

Food order updated.
Everybody: It’s your job to check. if you don’t check, and you don’t like, it’s your fault not mine.

Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
It is still uncertain as to whether I can attend, and not looking positive; suggest you move me to reserve and I will add at last minute if able.
Wrong starter; but probably irrelevant if I can't make it.jdaw1 wrote: ↑23:41 Sun 21 Apr 2019 Food order updated.

If there is space may I join? If not happy to go onto the reserve list and await a last minute space.
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
Both the food order and the placemats have been updated.
Re: Wed 1st May 2019, Broadbent Port, at the B&F
I hope to be there at about 17.30 following a Zac handover. I had hoped to be earlier to be able to help set up, but if there are last minute duties I should be there to assist.

I like the order of "heretically normal" welsh rarebit for Irayna

Please remind me, am I bringing an extra bottle? Am I bringing my bottle of Broadbent 1994?
