Sorry will have to postpone this - Joao Monteiro is no longer available and he was going to fill some of the gaps.

We could go with what we have but I feel it would be a stronger tasting with Pocas representation

Is there some other purpose to which we could usefully put the date?

How about a Warre vertical? Phil was commenting the other day that we haven’t had a Warre vertical for a while.

We have a B&F booking.

Decision needed. Is date to be re-used? Should B&F be cancelled?

BF should be cancelled - Joao Monteiro left Pocas earlier this year and we were dependent on him for a few of the VP's

I’m declaring a substitute ‘emergency’ to be held at the B&F on Tue 26th April 2022. Theme: bring Port. I’m in, and bringing a magnum.

Confirmed attendees have until 21:00 on Thu 7th April to join the emergency, after which it will be opened to all comers.

Date looking unlikely for me.
Last minute attendance may be possible, but please assume for now that I won't be there.

I’m unlikely. Rather too many tastings and dinners at the moment for domestic bliss…

It seems I have to be in London for a 9am meeting on 27th April. This makes it much more likely that I will be able to attend. Please change my status to “probably”.

I see I am now a 'Martinez 1985'. By coincidence I have a case of it arriving tomorrow. Hurrah!

No, it defines what you have to bring to share with others at the next informal.

First post believed to be correctly updated. Pls verify.

Blind or sighted? Or semi-sighted: bringer to reveal type, and either shipper or year, but not both?

I vote semi.
