Alas, I am already committed to playing Badminton that night and so will be unable to join you.

I’m probable rather than certain.

I always prefer blind…

Just realised I can’t make the 17th - got a prior diary commitment I can’t change.

Apologies.

A possible alternative to random deliciousness, partiuclarly if it turns out there are only two of us.
There are a couple of head-to-heads I've been wanting to try:
- (PW's) best of the 80s : Ch82 vs F85
- (PW's) best of the 77s : Ni77 vs F77
I may have had the latter alongside each other, though don't remember doing so; and don't think I've ever had the first pair side by side.
Happy to stick with random deliciousness, blind or sighted, as preferred or should the numbers increase.

Even more than I previously did, I regret being in Birmingham tomorrow.

My diary commitment still stands, but has been moved to London.

I should be able to join you around 19.30.

I’ll advise shortly what I will bring as my offer for the “best of the ‘80s” theme.

A lovely dark red, looking and smelling good. Hopefully no TCA waiting to develop over the course of the day.

I am at the B&F. At about 17.50 I need to find a quiet spot to take part in a Zoom discussion. I should be finished by 19.30 and able to join the main event.
