There *could* be an incentive for non-attendees winning - we could
nominate a substance of our choice for you to imbibe.  This could
range from being hard on your pocket, (ever heard of Grange Hermitage
- a red that regularly sells for > $4000 / bottle) - to hard on your

the idea - start thinking along the lines of those yucky cocktails...
