To all the party people,

all the cheques and booking forms where sent of today, so you should receive confirmation shortly.

Lutz, can you let us know if there is any problem with the piece of parchment pre dating the Magna Carta that you sent :)o>

Clive, when your animal sitting dilemma is resolved can you let me know and I should be able to give you a booking reference number, thanks everyone,

Roy

Hi Roy

We think we will be ok - but it depends on friends not going away!

Still - we will take the risk - form and cheque is in the post to Lisa today.

OK thanks Clive, does this mean the wine tasting is still on? and will you be participating in the children's entertainment? I've already told my little one that "uncle Clive" is going :)o>

Of course I'll let you know if I get a negative feedback from my bank. If they can't read Early English, I'll see to it that gets translated.

By the way, if the wine tasting is still on, I'll bring some Rhine wine. There are about 40 wineries in the town where we live so there's ample to choose from (a bottle from each, maybe?)

Lutz, they don't happen to do Milch Schnapps (think that's the correct way to spell it) down your way, do they? I know a few of the ladies might want to try Apfel Korn (probably not the correct spelling) too. Just a thought.

No, we're in the middle of a wine growing area here so that sort of thing is not produced locally. But that doesn't mean that I can't oblige by bringing a bottle or two as well.

I have this mental picture of hearing you arrive on site Lutz, to the sound of clinking bottles and popping corks..

That sounds good Lutz

Anyone have any idea on how they would like a winetasting to go?

I am happy to organise something but logistically we will have to get enough wine and glasses etc. Therefore I suggest that an entry "fee" for the evening is a number of bottles of wine per person/couple.

NOT that I think we will be drinking excessively necccessssseerrrlillly! but we could have a raffle for a few bottles as well as part of the evening. Or we can say to heck with it and drink the lot.

So as an idea - what about we all select our favourite wine and (depending upon numbers attending) each couple/individual bring say three (possibly more!) bottles of the same wine and make up a board/wine sheet saying where it is from and why you like it. I can make up a pro-forma for the evening that can be emailed to those attending. The info quoted would be no more complicated than what is written on the label.

We can then all wander around - with our own Glass - and try the wines that others have brought.

I think we have to have our own glasses and I recommend plastic for safety.

For a bit of fun a random 5 wines could be a "blind tasting" with prizes for the person(s) who identify the wines. This bit will obviously take a bit of pre-planning so that a) we have an "extra" bottle for this or else only having two bottles for normal tasting could be a bit of a give away! And also the bottles would have to be marked but the labels removed.

Any other ideas suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Clive

Sounds good to me. Plastic glasses are a good idea just incase anyone starts a fight..........

I'm really looking forward to it.

Keep us updated.
