Draft of the placemats.

The diary is under-populated; I have available a four-pack of the Quevedo closure experiment. So, Wednesday 25^th February 2026 there will be the Quevedo four-pack, and others are to bring sighted something (not everybody to bring non-port).

You know of the dining menu at Davy’s Boot & Flogger. You know the tasting process. You know what to do. Do it.

Yes please

I will be late, thus will let others have priority. If there is room then yes please.

I will book a room when it’s clearer whether red or green.

• Ham Hock Terrine; • Burger (as rare as allowed) + skinny fries + carrots; • Welsh Barebit.

Yes please.

Unlikely to make the date. Will be interested to hear how it goes.

At a concert I am afraid…

I'll decide what to bring nearer the time.

Yes, please, sir!

should be good for this, so yes please

Good shout - I have quite a few of these kicking around so would be good to open one.

But nowhere in your theme was there a ban on us bring one tasting pack each. Indeed, the two stipulations were "sighted somethings" and "not everybody to bring non-port".

A closure tasting pack seems to meet both requirements.

Just pointing out the obvious...

You are quite correct. My reply, slightly, argued with something not said.

But so have you. Despite you suggestion to the contrary — not quite unambiguously said, but suggested — I have not further constrained what others are to bring. However, my two typos are regretted.
