| It became apparent the other night at a Dinner Night, that some people are not 100% sure what they are expected to do, so I thought it may be a good idea to put some reminders in here for everyone, ie Port at the table, Toasts, etc etc
Please only post if you are 100% correct.

| Remember that it is not a dinner night unless you leave with at least one port fine.
In RLC messes (dunno about other arms) it is tradition that the port decanter never leaves the table and always pour for the lady to your left if there is one.
There are many more but I'm normally too drunk to remember them all, refer to sentence one!!!!!

| I will let others "tell" the story, but it concerns his Announcing of the Toasts
