Tuesday 4th September - The Bunghole

[Alex Bridgeman]

I have to be in London on Tuesday 4th September and am starting to suffer fom symptoms of Port deprivation. Would anyone care to help supervise my cure?

Normal rules apply:
Place - The Bunghole
Time - about 6:30pm
Bring - a bottle of vintage dated port wrapped in tinfoil
Theme - a blind tasting that makes us all look foolish

If you'd care to join me, please speak up!

I now have permission from the Supreme Commander Port-Drinking Forces Lambeth, as she has become and is soon to be renamed, and so am pleased to accept your invitation.

[JacobH]

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to keep September fairly dry, so I don't think I'll be able to attend. Sorry.

[DRT]

I'm in!

[jdaw1]

First draft of the placemats.

[Alex Bridgeman]

RAYC is in

[jdaw1]

Updated draft of the placemats.

• RAYC×2.

[DRT]

I have booked the large room in the Bunghole.

[jdaw1]

Updated draft of the placemats.

• I couldn’t decide, so I decided.
• And seven glasses, with 12 point L/R/B margins and 18 point top, because

  Latest placemats including various tidy-ups, use of newly available parameters and updated to latest version of placement software.
  
  I have increased the circle diameters to the maximum possiblen through sacrifice of margin widths while maintaining a single producer per page. I have tested at home and these fit ISO glasses with ease, and *just* accomodate the Riedels sufficiently. If anyone attending TBH in the near future were able to print a page of these and confirm that this is usable with their glasses it would be appreciated; I realise that an extra such visit to TBH will be a severe trial

Oops. Forgot to do that. Thanks.

Would you also be able to print? I'll have no access to a printer until Thursday.

[RAYC]

I can print with ease (and am happy to do so).

[jdaw1]

I can print. First to do so (on Tuesday, to allow further changes) to post that done.

This requirement was in mind when my new home printer was chosen a Samsung ML-2955DW.

[PhilW]

I'm hoping to be able to join you tomorrow night.

[jdaw1]

I'll update the placemats, but will make it two pages of four. So I’ll try to remember to print a page of your draft for Mon 24th.

[RAYC]

I arrive in England at 08.30 from Porto. I will be bearing gifts from tasdting rooms and Vinologia.

Expect 3 half bottles on top of my VP (though not necessarily colheita)

[jdaw1]

Updated draft of the placemats.

• +PW;
• +RAYC’s extras;
• So on two pages.

[RAYC]

By request from the producer (to allow time to settle) the third half bottle is now reserved for a future tasting (together with two others, should my weight llowance be sufficient).

Apologies for any disappointment caused in the short term

[jdaw1]

Updated draft of the placemats

Printed, though the margins were too small for the printer used.

[jdaw1]

The thread Parameters for the placemat software has been updated with the parameters used to make the placemats for this tasting.
