Just to get a second thread on the Midlands list:
Just because a group is separated by geography does not mean that ye can't come together as a virtual group and talk via the web!
How and ever:
Yes Ok, The city slickers can all pick a convienient central place ( aka. Friendly Pub !! ) to hold a monthly meet.
Thats one model!
Another one for the more distributed group is to try to meet up each month at a house or a pub and do the NHC thing!
Meets in Pubs = Tasting homebrews ( with prior agreement )
Meet up at weekend in a members house:
Brewday /BBQ / HB tasting ad nauseum ( Apologies HB does not make you ill! )
Would agree Will, some of our activity will be virtual and more will involve having a foot in other regions....for some of us Mid West, Limerick etc. is only 30 min whereas for anyone in Mullingar, sure that's celtic tiger Dublin! I'd be happy to host a brew day in Moneygall and maybe a visit to Ollie hayes in June / July if it suited some midlands folk.
I like your ideas Will.
Count me in anyways, I from Killiegh which is just outside Tullamore, I'm in the middle of a master's degree at the minute so I won't have much time to contribute until after December
