Hey, I declared the 10kg on my customs form. I'll be sure to have the
extra bag packed inside my suitcase for the trip home again this year.

And, last year the mussel season was nearly over, so the quality was a
bit lower than in years past. I'm not sure I managed 10kg of beer though
(not for lack of trying though), so I think your overall ordering is
probably correct.

I'm not sure we need any board sanction; we just need to get people
signed up. And, I'd say that if we can get 7 people signed up in a
couple of hours, we'll surely end up with another 5 or 6 before the
event starts.
