As already flagged up elsewhere, I will unfortunately be unable to attend this tasting as a family matter means that I now have childcare responsibilities that evening.

I believe the Ck77 special is from JDAW not TC?

I believe the 10 bottles for the evening are now confirmed and listed correctly above.
JDAW - placemats look correct, although maybe some of the by-line descriptions could be amended to match the bottle descriptions?

JDAW - hold off with making any changes. Just found out that one of the Symingtons might be joining us.

Massive thanks to Neil for putting this together, and the tenacity to make is still happen after a number of rescheduling issues, and to Neil and Tony for supplying the hard ports. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, and great that Tiago was able to join us as well (and that Harry could stay! Hurrah!).
