The Big Fortified Tasting 2023 - Volunteers Welcome

[Alex Bridgeman]

This year's b.f.t. is being held in Church House, Westminster on Thursday 20th April.

As in previous years, it is a trade only event and being a member of The Port Forum is, sadly, not enough of a link to the trade to qualify to visit the show.

Happily, as in previous years, I would be very grateful for some help on the day to run the show, set-up and break-down masterclasses, ferry water / glasses / lunches / anything else exhibitors need. Anyone willing and able to work half a day (morning or afternoon) as an unpaid volunteer is then welcome to spend the half of the day not working mingling with the producers and (subject to availability) participating in a masterclass. (I'll cover reasonable travel expenses from within the UK, if required.)

If anyone is interested, willing and able to work for a full day, I'll happily pay the day rate that is paid to other staff we bring in from outside but your opportunities to mingle with the producers will be much more limited.

If of interest to anyone, please let me know by email or PM.

Of course.

Yup - count me in for the morning. Should be able to be there early.

Hope to be able to volunteer for the morning as can travel up the day before without issue.
