Yes please. I think that I have absolutely nothing. (It’s a vertical; there will have to be a £ rebalancing.)

I’ve offered to help Tony on the admin for this tasting. I’ll take a look at, and suggest, some possible dates shortly.

Looking at dates which might work for this tasting - how would the first week of October fit into people's diaries? That is, week commencing Monday 2nd October? That gives us a 2 week gap from the 1966 horizontal. Or the week before half term, that would be week commencing Monday 16th October.

If we want a bigger gap between major tastings we're looking at Feb 2024.

Week starting October 2nd would work for me, as would the following week starting Oct 9th (or the week prior starting 25th Sep).
Second half of October much trickier for me.
