I’m afraid I’m also busy in the last week of April, so please could I be put onto the reserves in case I can get my hearings schedule thinned down.

Hi Tom,
I’m listed as attending this but had asked to be put on the reserve list when the date changed. At the moment, I can’t make the new date so if I could be parked on the reserves that’d be great (I’m on holiday this week, so need to check when I get back what’s happened during my time off to see if I can come back down).
Thanks,

[jdaw1]

• Soup;
• Sirloin blue + skinny fries;
• Welsh usual.

… I can’t make the new date so if I could be parked on the reserves

…my diary is rammed in April and May.

I am pretty busy next week and it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to make the tasting. If I can, it will be a decision taken on the day.

Please drop me to the reserves list and I’ll let you know at the last minute if there’s a seat still free which I can fill.

Both dropped to reserve.

Current draft of the placemats (which were quite fiddly) added to the first post. Tom: please inspect — is this what you want?

One small snafu in the placemats. The first post mistakenly lists Ben R attending rather than Ben P, and this has carried through onto the placemats.

Thank you. Fixed, and other improvements. I’m keeping MC and AHB on the placemats, because it is possible that they might attend anyway.

Food order for the ten definites going in - as they've discontinued the pate I've put Zak down for soup

Apologies Tom but I thought I had already said that I can't make it and have realised that I didn't. Actually saying it now.

Tom, given the few drop outs we've had would it be ok to boost the numbers? I have a friend or two who aren't members here who may well be very interested in joining us for this event.

Err…shouldn’t we go to the reserve list firstly-or has this been exhausted?

I think that have been as this is a tasting for 14 and only 10 on the list. i think that all of them have asked to be on the reserves or can't make it.

That's why I asked the question - normally I wouldn't suggest it as tastings are usually bursting at the seams!

I think that it is a great thing to do. new faces are always welcome.

Drat - I cannot make it down for this one. Enjoy, folks!

We are of this moment, I think, with Zak unable to make it, only nine strong; so great opportunity to bring friends and relatives..

Sounds like Rich has a couple of potential additional guests.

I do but they're trying to shuffle plans at the moment so I don't have any positive confirmations yet.

@uncle tom I've dropped you a DM about this, have you seen it?

[rich_n]

Unfortunately both of the friends I hoped might be able to make it have been unable to make plans work in order to join us.

[jdaw1]

I have a maybe. I might have second maybe.

[uncle tom]

We are likely to have part bottles to take home tomorrow, so please come suitably equipped, bags, t-stoppers etc..

Tom, I'm happy to give you a hand setting up as I'll be in London and available from late afternoon. What kind of time would you want me to be there if you need a hand?

Thanks - I'm aiming for around 4pm, there's not a huge amount of work to do, besides pulling corks, we'll be free pouring

[jdaw1]

I am bringing two extra people, Rachel M. and Kyleigh L., met recently (as in, four hours ago) at a Spanish tasting.

Who is to print the placemats?

Ok great. I'll probably be a little later than that, but I'll be there between 4 and 5pm

Printed

Have also received a supply of glass collars, so people can write the names of their retained glasses

[rich_n]

Places are set and bottles opened, we're ahead of schedule!
