Re: Thursday March 10th, Crusting Pipe, London
Julian - draft tasting mats reviewed.
Please include the sticky labels - these were very useful last time (even if I did get a little confused with the best way to use them after having consumed half a bottle of F77).
Please add THRA to the place mats, although this may make the layout of the pages slightly more difficult.
As ever, thank you very much for producing these.

Wolfgang, Rob,
Please let me know asap if you will be at TCP on Thursday. I need to know as the office will only hold 6 and if all the potential participants turn up, we will be 7.
In case there are further latecomers, I may change from 2 half bottles to a full bottle. Any thoughts?

Re: Thursday March 10th, Crusting Pipe, London
i can confirm. I am reasonably ambivalent as to whether we go for half or full bottles so will let others decide.
If we were going for full bottles i might swap the "value vp/daily drinker" i had planned for the half theme for something with a bit more pedigree.
Wolfgang - if we stick with halves, it would be great to take up your offer of adopting the one half you had in mind.

Re: Thursday March 10th, Crusting Pipe, London
sorry - re-read the thread more carefully and now see what the dilemma is.
would prefer to move to full bottles than close off the list to late arrivers just yet
On the other hand, Chris is unsure and this offline has been in the diary for long enough that chances of a late attendee are slim.
would suggest sticking to halves if no one else has put their hand up by 5.00 p.m. tomorrow? or is that too late for others to plan?
i will have time (and would be more than happy) to take over tasting mat duties from Julian if required, so that should not be a driving concern

RLC is also joining. Which may lead us down the full bottle route if Chris is a possible.

Re: Thursday March 10th, Crusting Pipe, London
I am taking the decision for everyone to switch to full bottles so as to ensure portion sizes are not compromised.
I may be bringing a guest (KD, right handed) but will not be able to confirm until tomorrow.
I will contact TCP later tonight to switch from the Office to a larger table in the tunnels.

Only if you're with us in person to share the pleasure.

Unfortunately, with every hour that passes at the tasting I will be around 95 miles further away from all that lovely PortAHB wrote:Only if you're with us in person to share the pleasure.
Sorry, Officer, did I say 95 miles? Clearly I meant no more than 70.

Re: Thursday March 10th, Crusting Pipe, London
Good decision.
If we remain at 8/9 attendees, i may take the liberty of asking my brother as well - he enjoyed the tasting when Oscar visited. And I have a good bottle for him to adopt. (MCC, though i suspect a "?" would do as I am not certain he will be available - sorry to be a pain).
