Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedos
Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Julian,
+ SCP
+ Malvedos 78
I'll advise which bottle to credit SCP in due course.
Am happy to have first bash over the weekend if you are getting fed-up with changes!

Space will be getting tighter, the radius dropping from an already-tight 116.261 to an even-tighter 115.326. Are you yet ready to accept 4×A4?RAYC wrote:+ Malvedos 78
Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
This shouldn't require any amendment to the existing A3 page (other than working out how to order ports so that we have old-young consistency - either left to right in columns or top to bottom in rows - don't know which is preferred).
The A4 page can be put on A3, with a 2-3-2 format at left hand side (i can either guillotine the remainder of the A3 page that isn't needed or simply arrange layout so that the other A3 page is placed on top). The layout of the two A3 sheets would then fit nicely when placed alongside each other.
4xA4 is better avoided, if possible, given the size of table and number of attendees. (plus 22 doesn't divide by 4 particularly well). But i don't want to be unduly awkward.
Probably better if i do a hand drawing and email you. You can then tell me if it's impossible!

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Sixteen on A4 is best in four rows.
My understanding is that you want a ‘combined’ effect, so that the top-left is the oldest, getting younger across the top row, then back to left side of second row, and so on.
Is that correct?
Do you have a larger paper size? I could do a different page size, perhaps non-standard which you then trim.

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Let's make this easy! (i.e. i stop making comments without knowing what i am talking about)
We have 22 ports
Happy for this to be 2 x A3 or 4 x A4, or 2 x A3 with one page being trimmed / tucked under the other, or whatever in your long experience of making these looks good!
A combined effect might be nice, but could be columnar (LH column oldest - RH column youngest) rather than by row (i don't have a strong feeling either way - except for at Tom's olympic tasting, is columnar how we usually do it?)
You are good at these, you hereby have authority to make whatever decisions you think fit and i'll shut up!
(but we should include Malvedos in the title)

OK. I have a plan. It is a cunning plan.
But for how long?RAYC wrote:I still count 22...

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Does it involve one participant with six sheets of A4 with bottle-size rings, and 13 other participants with a sheet of A4 each and a set of thimbles?jdaw1 wrote:OK. I have a plan. It is a cunning plan.
Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Not quite. The extra bottles entailed by the plan wouldn’t fit on just six sheets of A4.

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Updated draft of the placemats.
- +SCP;
- +GM78;
- There is a bug in the calculation of where to place the person’s name. This will be fixed later this evening. (Musing how to do it. A recently added feature, jolly useful, rather broke the old calculation.)
- Please comment otherwise.
Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Updated draft of the placemats.
TN sheets run in date order, with five or six on each.
Happily, SCP is right handed. Indeed, everybody at this tasting is right handed.
- Bug fixed.
- +‟Malevdos” in the centred header.

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Very nice - thank you.
Minor comments:
- Date/location and theme headers seem to be the other way around than usual. Would probably prefer theme heading in centre
- should the theme heading be in the gap between the 60 and 63 rather than 55 and 60? Don't feel strongly.
- do you want to retain initials on right hand page?
In addition, on reflection it occurred to me that 85 crusted was bottled before both the 1985 VP and the 1984 VP. Given this extra bottle age, where should it appear in the line-up? (i'm tempted to leave where it is, or possibly before the 85 VP only if preferred by jdaw1, but any purists should shout)
NB i will aim to print on Sunday night, when i can do so without detection....!

Re: Tuesday 13 November - a smattering of Graham and Malvedo
Sorry, I missed this first time around. I agree that G77 benefits from a long decant - it can be very hot and disjointed in the first few hours. 24 hours doesn't sound like a bad plan to me.
