Title is pretty self explanatory ... Anyone else going there among the fine fellowship of Connosr ?

No but it looks amazing, enjoy! I'm playing in a golf comp Sat and watching as much Ryder Cup as possible (whilst drinking whisky, of course relaxed )

I was a bit gutted i missed the Bristol ones this year. Perhaps something us Brits (not exclusively, of course!) could make happen for 2019 - a meet up at a festival?

@RianC i shall do my best! Seems to be a lot of sample worthy drams among the 600 free ones to try! And with a super dram token, I thought I'd also give the farclas 40 a test run.

Not too self-explanatory to me...:) Imagine my disappointment when the heading wasn't referring to London, Ontario, Canada (tongue in cheek)

@PeterG7 sorry Peter. I didn't think of that of course.... flushed relieved

If it's any consolation, at least this year there are plenty Canadian offerings available on the tasting stands! So you'll be there in spirit (pun intended).

@RikS There is absolutely no need to apologize. It was a tongue in cheek comment by me...). You are, happily quite right! There are many opportunities to attend whisky events here as well. There is an excellent one called the scotch mist in Stratfort, Ontario that I've attended (not to be confused with Stratfort Upon Avon). They take it to a new level by serving haggis. I had never tried it. I ended up eating two since my wife is not as adventurous as I am. And keeping with the close ties that Canada has with the UK. Just a short distance away from Stratfort is London, Ont and through that city flows the Thames River. Enjoy your weekend.

@RikS Just for the record! If I wasn't 5400 km from London I'd be attending the whisky fair. I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend.

@PeterG7 The Avon river flows through Stratford Ontario as well
