Many thanks.

I'll give a tentative "yes", although this will be harvest time and therefore highly unpredictable. But for now please put me down as a "yes", thank you.

Yes please. These have been a fun time.

Is this still a go for next Thursday (Sep. 25)? If so, what time will it be?

[winesecretary]

I regret not in diary now and really not possible given workload.

[nac]

Is this still a go for next Thursday (Sep. 25)? If so, what time will it be?

Yup, still planned. Guess start 1900ish (UK).

Will send joining instructions early next week.

[Glenn E.]

I have a work meeting from 11-12 (roughly the start time for this tasting) that of late has been running long, so I may not be able to join until 8 or 8:30 pm London time. But I'll get online eventually!

[Alex Bridgeman]

Just on the off-chance that I get a few minutes to myself on Thursday evening, send me the link for the call and I’ll join if I can.

[hadge]

please send me the link, hoping to join

[nac]

Will PM the Zoom details to your mailbox on here.

[nac]

Sent. Let me know if you were intending to join but haven't received.

[MigSU]

Received.
I'll probably be pressing some grapes in the afternoon, might be done by 7.30/8pm, so I'll try to join asap.

[idj123]

I have the link and may be able to join.

[flash_uk]

will likely be 7.30/8 before I can join

[nac]

Suspect similar. Unlikely to be on much before 8.

[Mike J. W.]

Suspect similar. Unlikely to be on much before 8.

I can't sign in nor do I suspect anyone else can since Neil is not on. Should I check back at 7:30 your time?

[Alex Bridgeman]

I’ve just tried to sign in but got the “waiting for host to start the meeting” message.

I may be able to try again later.

[rich_n]

I was aiming for 7pm, I'll keep an eye on here to see if Neil is able to start the meeting sooner than 8.

[hadge]

it will need Phil to start the meeting i would think

[mcoulson]

I’ve just tried to sign in but got the “waiting for host to start the meeting” message.

I am the same - I'm waiting patiently ..... which is a new experiance for me ....

[PhilW]

We're online now.

[MigSU]

Still at the winery.

[Glenn E.]

Sorry I missed this - I got busy at work and things didn't slow down until now. I hope you all had a great time!

[MigSU]

Yeah, I only got home at about half ten, sorry I couldn't make it

[Mike J. W.]

Tonight (this afternoon for me) was fun and I always learn a lot. There's always more than a few laughs as well. Thanks Neil for organizing it and Phil for setting up the Zoom call. I hope we do more of these in the future.
