A bit of advise please,

I am looking at organising a wine tasting for our works sports & Social club, We have a room, spittoon & wine glasses, but the rest is up to me & if it goes well it will become a regular thing, but not having organised a tasting, could anyone advise:-

How many glasses I should allow per bottle?
Are 6 bottles usual for a tasting or do you stretch it to 12?
Has anyone found a particular wine maker forthcoming with tasting notes and suggestions for nibbles or do you just crib up on the Naked site/back of bottle before the tasting?
I think I have a good idea of the basics, White before Red, Unoaked before Oaked, it’s all subjective, you really should be buying this excellent wine at Naked etc., but any general advice & ideas I could put forward for future tastings would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Presented a tasting to the Sussex Wine Appreciation Society last evening.
Joost Villebois Vale de Loire Brut. Very well recieved but my stock is now exhausted so when will it be available again?
Jock Harvey's 20011 Jacko's leap. They liked this one a lot
2011 Sylvia Reserve, They liked this one even more.
2010 Picpoul de Pinet, much appreciated & what a bargain at the reduced price.
2010 Blackwood Ridge Pinot Noir, Mixed reception, some felt it was not typical new world Pinot.
2010 Carmen Stevens Shiraz. Had them fighting over the wine left after the tastings were poured.
2010 Liz Richardson's 2011 Shiraz Viognier. Competed well with previous win.
2011 Cillar Joven, Ribera del Duero, Created contovosy over what is a "Joven" wine , but they loved it, Proud to be her Archangel..
2009 Alfredo Meyer's Malbec, Thought to be a little light weight for a Malbec, will try my other bottle soon.
All in all a good tastng, And they went away understanding Naked Wines & grasping the web address.
