Tue 20th Sep 2016 ?

[CPR 1]

Its has been too long since we gathered at the B&F and there is nothing in the diary for ages;

How about Tuesday 20th September?

[jdaw1]

Alas I can’t, but will happily make the paperwork.

Edit: current draft of the placemats (and the parameters by which made).

I have a meeting in London that day. Let me see if I can delay my return home.

That whole week is a no-go for me. Have fun!

If it proves difficult to find attendees, the first two weeks in October look good...

[jdaw1]

If it proves difficult to find attendees,

One is a quorum; two is a crowd. So CPR and AHB are go. Theme?

Which doesn’t stop Flash arranging the following date.

[DRT]

I am still on holiday and refuse to check my work diary until Monday but if I can be there I will be there.

Unfortunately, ditto for me regarding this week but like Mike, good for the first couple of weeks of next month (plus w/c 26/09)...

Theme?

How about port and setak?

[jdaw1]

setak?

The Icelandic dish of fermented cow dung? Quite pungent: young Port advised.

I've only just read this post - and burst out laughing in the office.

[DRT]

Is this happening?

Should I bring a bottle to London tomorrow morning?

[Alex Bridgeman]

I hope and intend that it will happen but ... it is about 50% probable that I will have to be in Ipswich on Tuesday which may make it difficult to also be in London. As soon as I know for certain, I will say. Perhaps you could bring a bottle in case it is needed.

[CPR 1]

I hope so, bring the bottle.

[jdaw1]

Two is a quorum.

Pictures of current draft of the placemats in second post.

[DRT]

OK - I'm in.

[CPR 1]

All rooms fully booked at the Boot and Flogger

Could have table upstairs or try Woolgate or try again anther day?

[jdaw1]

Go upstairs. There aren’t many of you.

[CPR 1]

Bottle removed from death row. I will be upstairs

[jdaw1]

Who is to print?

And do you want to save space by SideBySideGlassesTastingNotes?

[DRT]

Bottle removed from death row. I will be upstairs

Bottle decanted and in London. See you upstairs.

What time?

AHB! AHB! Calling AHB!!...

[Alex Bridgeman]

We have "table 12" booked - at the far end of the ground floor on the left hand side. Luke will add an extra table so we have space for our glasses. Booked from 18.30.

I might be able to print tasting mats tomorrow since there are so few of us. Let me know if I need to.

You might also be pleased(?) to know I will be in Ipswich on Thursday.

[CPR 1]

Excellent - I will print

Excellent. Thank you.

I will be in Ipswich on Thursday.

Are you planning on dropping into somewhere in Melton?

Unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to do so on the visit. Sorry.
