Monday 21st September?

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

I have a meeting in London on Monday which should end about 18.30.

Would anyone like to meet for dinner and a glass of Port on Monday night? Clearly we would be restricted to a maximum of six people.

Maybe. If there's a preference for this day, could scrap 28th.

Please let me know.

My meeting is in St James’s. I’d prefer Hawksmoor in Air Street but I can do the Boot & Flogger if that’s easier for you.

My wife says yes. But the FT says “Matt Hancock warns UK is at Covid tipping point”.

There is a right thing to do here, and that’s what I’m going to do. So not me. Alas.

Given a list of attendees, I’ll do my traditional thing.

it seems that I will be attending. I think that no tasting mats are required.

but how will you know which is yours, and which is Wolfgang's port(s)?
BTW - I plan on opening a bottle for tonight/tomorrow, so would be up for joining via zoom, if that might be wanted and technically possible depending where you are? (or separately in parallel if not, and anyone else is feeling sociable)

I think I can make it. What’s the deal - bring a bottle and pay corkage?
