The Green Room only seats 8.
@Charles - presumably the Red Room wasn't available?

Probably because we're only able to get the small room at the Boot & Flogger - that only comfortably fits 8 people.

Unfortunately it seems like a small room was the only one available, however there are still 3 to confirm. Hopefully they will be able to do so one way or another sooner rather than later!

Sorry. I have to pull out. Something has come up .

Hope you all have fun.

Thanks for letting me know. I will update the attendees.

Can myself CMAG and RGO be added to the reserve list. Great theme although most of the stuff I purchased that meets this is at Seckfords but will have a browse!!

Apologies for the slow response, I've been away in California. Done!

Good afternoon folks! We are just over a week away from this (and I suspect those attending the formal Christmas bash will be more focused on the arrangements for that once we get towards the end of next week), so I thought I would check in and see if there have been any changes in terms of those who can or cannot attend.

Please can you update the thread if you are no longer able to attend and I will update the original post.

Count me in

I'll be there.

yep I'll be there. Have we figured out whether the red room is available?

I'll be there

CPR1 booked the room (Green Room), I believe it was the only room available. I have tried to call a couple of times but can't get through today, I'll try again later. If I can get a larger room then I'll update the main post and include those on the reserve list.

Unfortunately at this point we don't have any spare space but I've added you to the reserve list.

Please give my seat to a reserve.

I’ll make placemats soon. Please update first post to be the correct people, and post to say that’s done, and then I’ll do my bit. How decorative do you want? Perhaps look at the gallery of previous placemats (big download: 15 Mb) and choose something that takes your fancy.

I confirm that I still plan to attend.

There is now one spare spot, do you still want it?

I will do so as soon as I have confirmation of who will be taking the final space. I have zero knowledge of how placemats will work, having only attended the 2017 VP tasting, so would one of our more experienced guests please weigh in with a preferred option?

I’ll ensure functionally good — fret not about that.

I like relatively plain placemats.

Rich - can you take a look at the Christmas tasting thread. You have a seat, should you want it.

I wish I could make it, but sadly am no longer available that day. I have responded to that effect.

Given that we are tasting blind and informally, I would suggest the "21 May 2019 Blind and Informal" version would work well for us.

Please update first post’s list of attendees.

Current draft of the placemats (I chose stars rather than flowers — willing to be overruled).

I will do, just awaiting confirmation (or otherwise) of whether Christopher can take the final spot.
