For those staying at the Cricketer's Arms in Rickling Green, I have just noticed that check-in is between 3pm and 10pm.
If anyone staying there the night is planning to (or on the day is) running late and needs me to check them in, let me know by WhatsApp or similar.

Tasting notes and other sheets have been printed…
Attendees will be allowed 5 minutes under Phil's tuition to fold their single sheet of double sided A4 into a multi-page A6 booklet.

We've probably got enough, but the odd casualty dwindles their number, if you could pack them for now, I'll check when I go over to get ready in an hour's time.

Take care guys - we've had a tiny bit of a thaw this afternoon, but it's now freezing again - there's some really slippery ice around.

I invested forty quid at a cheese shop in Buntingford yesterday - curiously run by another T Archer - so no worries
Four cheeses, 100% English

If there is a pipe/cigar shop owned by Tom Archer somewhere, then Tom Archer has everything one could possibly ever need.
