I would prefer not to reveal as mine is a novelty as much as (hopefully) pleasant drinking.
And it allows me to change my mind at the last minute.

I would like to still come along, but until I move to Dorset cash flow is all tied up, so I would need to not have the dinner and just contribute to service. If that is okay, then I could offer a Niepoort 2005 as a comparison bottle or find something older if prefered. If you would rather have the space for a full participant, I totally understand and free up my seat.

More than happy to bring something along, how about a Passadouro 92 or 00 or if preferred a Ni 00?

You’re in. No need for the Niepoort 2005, but if you have a spare Niepoort that matches the vintages of one of the Broadbents I would accept that.
We have enough. One more, either a Ni matching a Bb, or something with age, would be welcome but is not necessary.

I should be able to print the placemats, but will also not be super early (I don't think, at the moment).
Please could I have no starter, sirloin steak (medium rare) with a bearnaise sauce.
What's a gratin potato and can I have chips instead?

Please may my choices, below, be added to the food order:
Starter - none.
Main - Gammon with everything including black pudding. Chips are preferred to skinny fries.
Savoury - the “Super extra cheesy plus plus more cheesy Welsh rarebit”, if possible.
Thanks,

It is still uncertain as to whether I can attend, and not looking positive; suggest you move me to reserve and I will add at last minute if able.

Wrong starter; but probably irrelevant if I can't make it.

I'm OK. I remembered to print - and I remembered to over-ride the standard printer setting we have here of 2-sheets per page, double sided.
