andybarton Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share #103 Posted June 1, 2016 Still a bit early yet, folks, but I will shortly be calling for numbers for supper on the Saturday. Usual drill. I have a top secret agent working on this with me, who will be revealed if/when some interesting and exciting news transpires. He (narrows it down) has contacts in the city with some potential extra-curricular activities for the Friday evening and even earlier in the week that may be of interest. Watch this space!

erl Posted June 3, 2016 Share #106 Posted June 3, 2016 Hi there John It'll be great to see you again . . . and I can organise mayhem under any circumstance and at any distance (both in terms of time and of distance ) Little do you realize you have 'committed' to mayhem at both a distance and time, to be revealed whilst in Lisbon. I am looking forward to the upcoming event in Lisbon for multiple reasons, including seeing you and Emma again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted June 11, 2016 Share #107 Posted June 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the FT this weekend: 5 of the best places to eat in Central Lisbon - seems interesting! List is 1. Cervejaria Ramiro; Avenue Almirante Reis 1 (need to queue but fast turnover) 2. Cantinho do Avillez; Rua das Duques de Braganza, 7 Martires (booking ahead advised) 3. A Taberna de Rua das Flores; Rua das Flores 103 (can't book, dinner menu best) 4. Mercado da Ribeira; Av. 24 de Juilho 49 (avoid hectic weekend lunchtimes) 5. Sea Me; Rua do Loreto 21(slightly manic, modish) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share #108 Posted June 15, 2016 With many thanks to John Gorten and a friend of his in Portugal, an offer has been made to host a wine-tasting in Lisbon on the Friday evening before the Challenge. I suspect that John is just trying to nobble the opposition before hand , but on the assumption that this is just my cynicism coming to the fore, we need to know how many people attending The Challenge would also like to partake of some of Portugal's finest product. There will need to be a small charge of 6 Euro per person and the event will last an hour, from 17:00 - 18:00 on the Friday. More details will be available when we have them. Numbers are restricted to 10 persons, but if there is strong interest a "second sitting" or a larger venue could be procured. So, please form an orderly queue and let us know whether you're interested. Another attraction is being looked at too, but that's still in it's infancy, and I will share that if and when something comes up. So, in relation to wine-tasting, I will start... (Edit: and I will add to the list on this post as people respond) Andy Barton x2 Philippe Octo satijntje StS erl x2 (Provisional) Sandokan spylaw4 Ted99 photoallee x4 cbretteville x2 mca Looks like that's three places left, now.

satijntje Posted June 15, 2016 Share #110 Posted June 15, 2016 +1 p.s. I have been informed that the fee will be 10 Euro, but you will get the possibility to taste at least 6 very fine wines from Portugal. john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, I'm definately 'in' for dinner on the Saturday, but will pass on the wine tasting as I need time to do some scouting for the challenge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
