Oh, alright then.

[winesecretary]

Great theme. Much regret but have an appointment to be dining elsewhere

[CPR 1]

yes please

[Alex Bridgeman]

Not me. I also have a prior engagement.

[forest26]

Sorry - would love to… but…

[jdaw1]

Neil, Charles: fourteen bottles of Port, only three of us. To drink it all we should have an early start — rather than the usual 18:30, let’s say 17:45.

[idj123]

Sure, why not.

[Doggett]

Not me. I also have a prior engagement.

Organising the wine tasting apres the Coronation banquet?

Just discovered I've got a diary clash which I can't resolve, so unfortunately won't be able to make this.

[jdaw1]

Only three of us is light. Should we choose a different day?

Yes, the lack of uptake is a little strange but I guess there is a tasting the week before and so maybe we should seek to convene on an alternative date.

[hadge]

I can't make this date, just have to much on in May.

[winesecretary]

Perhaps one for the six month anniversary of the coronation?

[jdaw1]

Should it be relabelled to a three-man emergency?

[Glenn E.]

I dunno, it seems to me that the theme is appropriate for an event that some people aren't able to attend.

An event fit for a King's coronation.

I can’t attend the tasting because one of my children has a birthday this year.

[PhilW]

I can’t attend the tasting because one of my children has a birthday this year.

I would hope that all of your children will have a birthday this year!
