    Sounds like a plan mate.

    Every two weeks, unless we need to delay by a week.

    The trial run on the 0.99€ bottle tinto went ok. Only 11% it was very light but still managed a slight “tired” feeling this morning. I think we’ll be sticking with the 1.86€ / bottle though as that is a fuller flavour. Research continues.

    Another vGTG tomorrow? We can celebrate the Kirk280 household being free from covid!

    I’ll send the zoom details at some point during the day tomorrow. PM me if you’d like to join us for the first time.

    ^^^ Sounds good to me. Although I will be late.

    Glad you have all recovered.

    I hope Simon has also recovered from his Port hangover like covid experience.

    And thank you Paul for what I found to be an eye-opening appraisal of the watch-buying scene in Japan.
    It's great when the TZvGtG enable personalities to be ascribed to usernames.

    Sounds like I missed a good session, I was socialising in the early evening and arrived home too late to join in.

    Another vGTG tomorrow? Note that I’ll have to leave early to give my Dad a lift home from a reunion do, and I’m not in a particularly chatty mood due to the state of the world at the moment (!)

  20. #970
    Wife’s birthday tomorrow so it wouldn’t be a good idea if I join you guys!

    Enjoy

    I’ll need to leave ca. 9pm tonight, but I’ll assign the zoom to those staying on if we want to proceed? Or do it next week? (I can’t guarantee I’ll be chatty then either!). Or we do both weeks?!

    Happy to go with the consensus.

    Sorry if this has been addressed, but what are the criteria to get into these sessions?

    Is there a formal format?

    Anyone welcome who is a forum member - you don’t have to fill any forms in or prove who you are!

    starts at 8:00pm on a Thursday ends when everyone has left the call (which Thursday seems to move almost randomly but mostly bi-weekly).

    Just send a PM to Kirk280, who will send you a link with the zoom details. You’d be most welcome. Please come along and open a couple of cans or a glass or two (or both) of your favourite beverage.

    Another great vGTG. But I went for a wee and came back to find most people had left. Was my bladder that full?!

    It always amazes me the breadth of subjects we cover in a few hours.

    Note to self: at future vGTGs do not mix beer, cider and wine.

    Woodacre is sorting out a real GTG venue, Preston area. Details to follow in due course.

    Sorry to have missed it but had a rubbish day and felt worse. I wouldn't have made good company. Looking forward to a potential v-GTG IRL.

    Real GTG news!

    Good ol’ Woodacre1983 has found us a private venue for an in-person, real life GTG!

    Date: 24 April 2022
    Time: 12-4pm
    Location: near Preston centre

    Whilst not as convenient (for me!) as a central Manchester location the fact it’s a trusted, secure venue means it’s worth a trip out.

    If “down South” folk want to make a weekend of it then partners are very welcome, obviously.

    Details to follow via PM in the coming days.

    Edit: to preempt Unclealec’s questions - yes I’ll probably drive, and yes you can have a lift!

    We are due another vGTG tonight but I need to visit my Dad so might be late joining. I’ll start you off though. I don’t want to postpone as I can’t do next week, and we need to firm up the real GTG details.

    Zoom invites sent. Let me know if I’ve missed you out by mistake or you’d like to attend for the first time.
