For those staying at the Cricketer's Arms in Rickling Green, I have just noticed that check-in is between 3pm and 10pm.

If anyone staying there the night is planning to (or on the day is) running late and needs me to check them in, let me know by WhatsApp or similar.

Train booked. Excitement building. Very much looking forward to seing you all.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottles stood upright. 2 because I can’t decide which one to bring.

I have also packed a set of Port tongs.

I will bring tongs.

Would you like me to also bring a rack of 24 glasses?

[winesecretary]

Am starting on the water. Will be there about 1845. Am excited!

We've probably got enough, but the odd casualty dwindles their number, if you could pack them for now, I'll check when I go over to get ready in an hour's time.

[uncle tom]

Take care guys - we've had a tiny bit of a thaw this afternoon, but it's now freezing again - there's some really slippery ice around.

Rather disappointing, my local cheese shop was closed today so my planned cheese hasn’t happened

[uncle tom]

We have about 55 glasses - so should be OK

I invested forty quid at a cheese shop in Buntingford yesterday - curiously run by another T Archer - so no worries

Four cheeses, 100% English

[uncle tom]

12 decanters washed and ready, decanter chains packed. Have hammer, funnels, gauzes

If there is a pipe/cigar shop owned by Tom Archer somewhere, then Tom Archer has everything one could possibly ever need.
