Beethoven died a year before Schubert. What plans have you got for Ian?

Perhaps this Lagavulin is making me think too deeply?
Only picked a Monday as this is when we have tended to hold tastings. However, happy to slightly revise the date fort this tasting to be Tuesday 10 October 2017.jdaw1 wrote:B&F closes 10pm on Mondays. Is there a reason why not Tuesday?

Mr J, you have omitted to reaffirm your attendance. Would I be correct in inferring a declinature?djewesbury wrote:Beethoven died a year before Schubert. What plans have you got for Ian?

I'm in. But I should warn you, my childhood nickname was 'Ludwig', not 'Franz'.idj123 wrote:Only picked a Monday as this is when we have tended to hold tastings.

Yes, I should be very gratefuljdaw1 wrote:Ian: do you want me to book the B&F (+44 20 7407 1184)?
May I edit the first post to add placemats and be generally helpful?
or even twenty-two, since I think JB+2 is three people.jdaw1 wrote:Twenty?!
I was merely picking up from where it had been left which it appeared was 18 people.jdaw1 wrote:Twenty?! This has not been perfectly managed. Let's start by moving Mrs W. To the waitlist. Bye bye my love.
And some others: perhaps the unconfirmed? Or the late joiners?

you're right, I missed the multiple increment; 20.idj123 wrote:No they have all been counted in the post.PhilW wrote:or even twenty-two, since I think JB+2 is three people.jdaw1 wrote:Twenty?!
I do not think Ian has suggested having more than 14.idj123 wrote:if all above do reconfirm (I will chase) and we can get an Industry Guest (is someone able to reach out?) then this means that we already have a full complement of 14 and with 6 currently on the reserve list!

I believe Ian was asked to take on the organisation. I think his initial statement of intent was sufficient without any of us interfering...jdaw1 wrote:Due to an absence of previous management, people have ‘joined’ because it wasn’t clear that the event was already full. The guest list needs to be culled. I suggest as follows:
• Those bringing ≤1955 Gould Campbell are in.
• Subject to which, those reserving / re-confirming particularly early are in.
• Subject to which, executive decision.
There should be a cull. It should be soon. Some people will be unhappy. But it must be done.
My understanding is the Ian is firstly asking those who had already confirmed whether or not they wish to stay in and if so they will have a place. Secondly, he is asking anyone else who is interested to express an interest. Ian has also subsequently said that he will chase the original attendees to re-confirm. That all seems fair.idj123 wrote:Second job is to ask for reconfirmations of attendance for those that originally signed up (who will receive priority )plus confirmations from anyone else still to show their hand.

Date has been set for Tuesday 10 October 2017. Johnny Symington was mentioned first time around and so Alex perhaps you could extend the invitation to join us to him (it may even be the case that a reprisal of the N&M dinner you mentioned could be worked in around this date)?AHB wrote:
I'm happy to reach out and find an industry guest. Would a member of the Symington family be appropriate? Once we have a confirmed date I can start conversations...

Was going to but didn't have the opportunity yesterday-thanks for taking the initiative. By my reckoning a maximum of 224 glasses will be required (assuming we're able to include the 45, 55 and 60)jdaw1 wrote:Done.jdaw1 wrote:Wilco.

The date needs to included in the title thread but has been set for Tuesday 10 October 2017. Bottle allocations will be determined in due course and for my sins, I am the organiser of this one!Axel P wrote:Is the date fixed yet? Need to arrange air transport.
Who is in charge of the tasing? To whom do I send bottles if needed?
