66 @ 60 - Tuesday 17 March 2026

The 66s are 60 this year, so seems sensible that we should have a horizontal.

The Red Room at the Boot & Flogger has been booked for the evening of Tuesday 17th March 2026.

Please indicate interest in attendance, and what you might be able to supply. Note that those with bottles will be given preference. Cost equalisation probably isn't necessary, but if your bottle is particularly rare/expensive then will be reviewed.
