I have checked
Erskine May back to
27 December 1703 and can see no precedent that would cause the chair to rule to the contrary.

September 2008, or January 2008? Assuming the latter.
The
placemats of 28th January 2008 are bad: ugliness is always bad; there is redundancy between the
Titles and the parameters since renamed to
Overtitles; and the suit symbols should have been done with
FlightSeparations. Just no.

Perhaps you could use the 2008 placemats as a frame of reference but utilise the improvements made since to create a modern alternative version that evokes memories of days gone by?

That is a great pity. Unfortunately, with this many people and so few practical dates to choose from it was somewhat inevitable that one or more would have two drop out. We hope to see you at another event soon.
Thank you very much - I fervently hope so, but I am overseas more than half the year and that makes it difficult to attend most tastings, but I look forward to making it one day !

That would be most welcome. It will be interesting to compare it with the one I am bringing as the recent release will probably have been re-corked.

Food Order
I note from the default food order that some people have items that are no longer on the menu. I have therefore applied the following substitutions:
"Cornish crab salad with ciabatta toasts" >> "Spiced fish cake, Cornish crab mayonnaise, mustard" (affects Christopher, Mike, Rebecca & Tony)
"Oak smoked salmon with beetroot, orange and horseradish" >> "Chapel and Swan oak smoked salmon, horseradish crème fraîche, capers" (affects Dave)
Please say if you want something different.
