    Since I was not at the last meeting can I please get confirmation that this month's event is taking place this Saturday so that I can do the necessary table booking?

    Many thanks.

    Unfortunately, I can't make it this weekend. Family duties come first (well this time, anyway).

    Rui,

    If it is to be only me and thee, should we postpone it for a week?

    (Not that I mind drinking good beer with you of course)

    It is up to you. If not this weekend we will have to postpone it to next month.

    Also bear in mind that there could be others besides the usual suspects.

    Please let me know so that I can cancel the table booking.

    That is the spirit Paul. I promise I'll buy one Swan pen from you if you have a nice one.

    Yep, they sure are. Very sad to read about the drop in attendance. Can't afford to fly in for the weekend, unfortunately. Cheers ....

    Absolutely agree with both about the Swan pens from Cob. I bought a couple from him myself. In my excitements of buying another of the beloved Swan's my English failed me.

    Murfie, we should really organise a teleconference so that you and Migo could still attend the gatherings in London. Not sure how we could provide Paulaner Duenkel electronically though unless you also have it in Australia.

    Yes, the only solution for the beer would I suppose be to start drilling.

    Great idea Rui, BUT one small problem. We are in a third world country where the Internet access can't support video conferencing. I live just 70kms as the crow flies from the second largest city (Melbourne) yet there is no landline Internet access available and I have to use a wireless connection through the 3G mobile telephone system, which just can't keep up (they don't feed the hamsters enough and the wheel spins slowly).

    I think we are doomed to wait until we get back in September.
