This is possible although I will need to seek permission to be out two nights (and one day) in a row!

I think you are remembering Tue 8th May 2018, ahead of the BFT, Something nice from the 60s, at The RAF Club, but we have had a few others:

Wed 23 Apr 2014, The Bung Hole: 1960 versus 1963
Tue 05 May 2015, Boot & Flogger, Fonseca
Thu 21 April 2016, B&F, Dow versus Graham, pre-BFT

A draft of the placemats has been added to the first post.

Is a dagger needed as well?

Unless you confirm attendance, and sufficiently confirm everything, the placemats are at risk of being edited.

Ahh. Oops. I had been told (luckily, told rather than told), that I was never available. Sorry.

The placemats have been amended.

I should probably let the B&F know we need a booth rather than the Green Room
