First draft of the placemats.
  • Executive decisions have been made about what AHB and RAYC are bringing, and what DRT is adopting from me. Please verify or correct.

I'm assuming the draft was prepared before Christopher voiced his intention to join us.

RO70? Is this the Carvalhas that won wine of the night in April last year?

Did you incorporate the fact that I'm left-handed into the placemats?

And, this evening, I’ll fix the placemats to add Christopher and mirror Ronnie.

I really don’t like the uneven heights of the digits in ‟1970” presumably mis-typset lower-case digits.

Alex: I now have a W70 in London, as well as D70 and RO70. Derek could adopt the W70, and he and I jointly bring the RO70.

But only if you have something other than Warre that you could bring. Do you?

Or we could just suffer the hardship of a second Warre 1970.

THRA is in and has declared Graham.

If felt necessary, this would be a nice occasion for me to bring the RO Carvahlas (gifted to me last year very generously by THRA) to taste alongside the regular RO.

Placemats will be updated on Sunday night.

Yes please to the ROC.

I have reviewed and am happy to approve - but could we have the psychedelic lines in colour just to really make the eyes ache?

Who will print? I can print if I do so tomorrow but will not be able to print on Tuesday.

I can print in B&W, even late on Tuesday.

(If you want the lines zapped, say so clearly.)

My contribution will be a Sandeman '70 and if there is no objection I would like to invite Sandy to join us and he will contribute an OBV'70.
Hope that is acceptable to all.

I like the lines. I don't want them zapped.

But I want them in colour for maximum impact!

I second that.

As a compromise: how about coloured lines, printed in black and white?

Lines look good with four glasses per page. Not so much with five or six. Hence zapped.

Do you want to have three pages, each of four glasses? That starts to use a lot of table space.
