Post by Al B. »

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it on FaceBook, Roy and Stewart are hosting a live Zoom discussion on Port on Sunday 31st May at 8pm.

If you need the Zoom link, you can find it on the FTLOP FaceBook post using this link (look for the post about the conference).

The link doesn't work for me and unfortunately I don't have Fecebook.

I have to agree with Mike (after all, how can a Mike be wrong?), today was a fun time. There were a lot of good Ports being drunk by all of the participants.

For the next one, if the announcement could be made on here as well as Facebook, that would be great. Thanks to all that organized it.

Fun time for sure. Sorry I had to duck out only an hour into it, had a prior engagement. Look forward to the next one.

It was great to be able to spend an hour in the company of other Port lovers. I look forward to the next one when I can see everyone I'm talking to!

Reminder for Stewart - open more than one 375ml bottle

Great Idea, and I would have loved to join but the timezones and a busy work week made it tricky - It would have been 6am Monday morning for me. If you had been a week later I might have made it due to a public holiday :D

I question your Port enthusiasm if you've won't get up to have Port at 6:00 AM on a Monday. [kez_11.gif]

I thoroughly enjoyed the event, and look forward to the next when some of the kinks are worked out. Cheers
Any Port in a storm!
