Only differences from first post are lack of CMAG in attendee list (but believed correct from above posts), and Ferreira and Factory House are present in ports list with correct supplier, but have not been added against attendees.

Charles: if Phil’s (and my) understanding are correct, pls update first post.

Do you want me to assemble the food order?

My mis-read, it is -CMAG, so needs removing from placemats.

Roasted goat’s cheese salad

I have a friend and an historically occasional attendee at TPF events. Although he is not a TPF member, he was at the first TPF offline 10 years ago. Nicos Neocleous would very much like to join us on December 19th, if that would be acceptable to everyone. Nicos is happy to make a monetary contribution to the cost of the port he will consume or would be happy to contribute a bottle if he had one which we wanted.

Charles, please let me know if it would be OK for Nicos to join us and I'll get him to organise his food order etc. Also let me know if he needs to pay you his buy-in in advance or in cash on the day (which reminds me, I need to pay Charles...)

Nicos will be very welcome to join us, I look forward to meeting him. I will send PM re costs

[jdaw1]

Good decision: Nicos excellent. Particularly commendable was his heroism during a ’60 horizontal (don’t ask here — in person).

Thank you Julian for sorting the food order, I would like

Duck Liver followed by Sirloin back and blue, and if possible substitute the peppercorn for béarnaise sauce

[jdaw1]

To the food order, Wolfgang S. added and Tom A. guessed.

[WS1]

just got feedback from the other Wolfgang, crab salat for starter and Rib eye medium rare for main for him.

sorry for the delay;

WS1

[forest26]

Sorry for the slow response

Oak smoked salmon with beetroot, orange and horseradish
Rib eye steak (rare) with hand cut chips
Green beans with shallots

[jdaw1]

Please could somebody check the food order (my order being different to that in the thread, but hopefully only mine).

That done, if it is correct, pls message Charles to send it to the B&F: we have orders from both menus, and should verify whether that is permitted.

[WS1]

Hi JDAW,

just got another message from the other Wolfgang, can he please change the crab salat with the duck liver parfait? Also I hope the Sirloin comes with fries/chips.

regards

My food order is correct. I've not had a response from Nicos on his food order yet.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Nicos has just emailed me to request:
Cornish Crab Salad
Rib eye steak with chips (cooking not specified so assume medium rare)
Cheese (mainly blue)

@Julian - where's my pudding?!
(haven't checked other's yet)

Sorry: added.

[PhilW]

@Julian - where's my pudding?!
(haven't checked other's yet)

Sorry: added.

Thank you. Have just checked the rest of the order - several changes needed:

Mike : main should be sirloin steak (rare) (plus a fried egg on top if poss) not Rib eye (Medium-Rare)

Wolfgang S : main should be Rib eye (Medium Rare) with peppercorn not Sirloin

Tony : main should be Rib eye (rare) not Sirloin, and should also have "Green beans with shallots"

Wolfgang G : asked to change starter, needs updating to duck liver parfait.

It might also be aligning the wording on Rib eye orders (some mention 240g, some do not).
Also noting that Axel (in addition to Nicos) needs to specify how he wants his steak cooked.

Just to confirm, the T77 and SW77 were deposited at the B&F on Tuesday. They are in a black 3-bottle carrier with another bottle which is for Phil. Whoever is decanting, please don't accidentally open Phil's bottle as well

[jdaw1]

Sorry about slowness to update: done.

[CPR 1]

We will aim to start tomorrow at 18:30, but please note the room is booked till 17:30. Anyone able to help from 17:30 is very welcome.

[flash_uk]

Charles, have just replied to your email about printing. To summarise, difficult but not impossible for me to do...but unlikely to get to the B&F before 1830 which looks less than helpful?

Julian - can I check, are the placemats A3 plus an A4?

If A3 or A4 I could print if needed, can anyone else that is arriving early print?

[uncle tom]

Delaforce, Offley and Morgan decanted 10.30 - 11.00 and looking good.

All three corks with horizontal branding..
