[Cruiser Elite]

What is the closing date of the poll?

Crikey - TBH - NFI - what would be appropriate?

Maybe the end of the week?

 

[serfty]

Maybe the end of the week?

Which week?

 

[UpInTheAir:)]

Yes it could be like a variety pack of cereals only everyone turns up with coco pops.

Or the FIFA Taittinger

 

[UpInTheAir:)]

Would love to come.. don't mind which date.. both school nights for me but I'll probably stay nearby.. cheaper than a cab home

 

[whughes3]

I would be a definite starter; either date is fine with me. Might I suggest that some of the better non-Champagne sparkling be included just for the sake of comparison?

Don't let Cruiser hear you say that

 

[JessicaTam]

Long way to go to drink sparkling.... errrr.... I mean champagne....

 

[Cruiser Elite]

So shall we make cut off date for poll Sun Jan 4? Does that sound reasonable?

We have a clear early leader...

 

[Cruiser Elite]

As for type of drink you bring along well that is totally up to you. Whilst we have always discussed and decided on a 'Champagne' night there is certainly no compulsion for attendees to strictly adhere - BUT - I am thinking most attendees will bring the real stuff - I personally have little desire to be trying Local bubbles but others may hold different views.

 

[pagingjoan]

Well, tasting local bubbles would achieve the aim of the gathering:
An immediate appreciation of the Champagne!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Did a recon at Dan's seeking out some not so mainstream Champers to share at MELCAN - settled on this:



Close up of label - now what could be more appropriate for a MEL AFF pageant?

 

[Deleted member]

it's a nice drop, and well priced

 

[david870mdg]

Keen for either dates if im in town...

[Cruiser Elite]

OK as we said Sun Jan 4 would be cut off date for poll - as of 5pm Wed Jan 7 poll clearly indicates that Wednesday February 18 is most popular date of votes - so Wednesday February 18 it is.

I will start to compile a list of attendees in a few days - those who are attending / maybe attending / most likely not attending / definitely not attending please just post or re-post so we don't miss anybody please.

FTR: I will be attending.

 

[TomVexille]

I think it's safe to say blackcat20​ and I will be attending.

 

[penegal]

I think it is safe to say that I might attend...
