Dear Members,                                                    

 I hope you have all enjoyed a good summer, or are still enjoying it, wherever you are or have been.

We are now gearing up to the second half of our tasting year with our September tasting which is on the 21^st at La Senia in Denia.   We have invited bodegas Vinyes del Terrer from Tarragona to present a tasting.   We visited this bodega on the last trip but their wines were so good and the father and son such great characters I wanted to have them back.   

As we will have had a break of three months since our last meeting, I thought I might remind you of the few rules we have in place just to make it easier for everyone to have a great evening. There are a few little changes so may I ask you just to read them through again to make sure you are clear. Thank you.

1. Reservations and choice of main course please to: Penny Floodgate Tel: 965794996 or email pennyfloodgate@gmail.com. Reservations must be received no later than the deadline 12.00 noon on Friday 15^th September.  
2. When you book Penny will ALWAYS confirm back to you. If you haven’t had a confirmation, we don’t have your booking! Please contact Penny again.
3. If a tasting is open to guests Penny must be advised of their menu choices at the time of making a request for places. You will be advised after the deadline for bookings if there is sufficient space for us to welcome your guests.
4. Doors will open at 19.30 and welcome drinks will not be available before that time. Please do not arrive before then to allow the committee time to arrange the tables etc.
5. Table numbers are always allocated by a draw from the bag. Arriving early will not influence your table number!
6. As we now collect the money at the tables it would be helpful if you bring the correct amount.
7. If you need to cancel after the Friday deadline you should contact Penny direct. Please DO NOT contact the venue.
8. Sorry – but if you have to cancel after the deadline or don’t turn up you will still have to pay.
