NHC Belfast Diary Dates 2017

[Quiet_Man]

Well Lads....Happy Brew Year!

There has been some chit chat over on WhatsApp about brew days, meets, etc....but nothing definite, so lets get planning.

1. The Nationals 2017 - Registration is open (Closes 31 Jan). Bottle drop off by 5 Feb.
                             18 Feb @ Lock 13, Sallins
                               4 March @ Alfie Byrnes, Dublin

Any one planning on entering? Judging / Stewarding? Thinking of travelling down for a day out?

2. Club meet? Jan / Feb? Bit of pre-Nationals testing, planning for the year ahead.......Any takers?

2. Brewday at Hillstown (with Ciaran) - Ciaran has suggested 11 or 18 Feb or 4 March, but nobody replied (including me)....but would be nice to get an agreed date (especially as two clash with the Nationals - but if no one is travelling down, maybe a club day out and following the results on Twitter, etc....and a few beers.....

3. Brewday at Brewbot? - may be another goer. Brewing on own kit, not Brewbot. Again getting a date

4. Barry and SPBWNI - potential barrel project? Could combine with one above? Barry - I'm happy to tag along on this if we can agree on a suitable night.

5. AOB....

#2 a club meet would be good for me. As I move from kits to AG/BIAB, I'm gonna need all the help and support I can get lol

[Ciaran]

All of the above sound good.....mind you I've quite a busy schedule in January full of bearding and drinking smoothies / pouring alcohol down the sink for at least another 2 weeks so gonna have to sit out the meet this month.  You wouldn't want me there in my lycra anyway   

Got a couple of entries in for the nationals there and hoping to squeeze in one more this weekend. 

Would like to get back to the guys about the brewday soon - maybe we need a poll?   I'd consider stewarding in the Dublin leg if there was a need for it and anyone else was up for a day return on the train?  That would obviously rule out 4 march, but if no-one else is up for it then any of the dates mentioned are good for me.

You've two #2s, madness!

Don't know if I'm entering anything but I'd be up for the trip down to Dublin for the nationals.

I'm down home for a bit tomorrow Ruairi if you have them ready ?

[Roo]

In the words of Jean Luc Picard....I'll "make it so". I'll pm you for your timings. I am heading to Geterbrewed at some stage. Perhaps we could meet there....I'll wear a pink carnation.
