OK - looks like we've got enough interest..

..how does the last Thursday in September work for people, the 24th - any conflicts?

Boot & Flogger sometimes charges corkage on a Thursday, but — so far — not on a Tuesday.

OK - So does the 22nd September give anyone problems?

I’m away for some of September, but haven’t locked dates in yet. Put me down as available for both dates, (but the Tuesday slightly preferred).

Are you suggesting a venue change? Does "The Port Fòrum" (TPFr) have sufficient glasses available? In which case we would become "63@63..TPF@TPFr"

Tom - just because people will be expecting the first post to contain the relevant details, I’ll edit the first post to hold information such as where, when, who and what.

I’m confirmed, at least I am for now.

OK. First post is updated to include the people who have responded, including those who have confirmed availability for the date now the room's booked.

You might want to encourage people to say which shippers they have so you can coordinate what we have on the day.

I’ve had one error pointed out to me in my putting together the list of the first 14 people to reply to Tom in the order they replied. Correcting the error has moved Ian into the top 14 and moved Neil To reserve.

If I’ve made any other mistakes, please let me know.
