Completely agree. The membership and class fees are great value.

Asking for a friend, can non-members join?

To be honest - membership is only 10 euro - so easiest is to just join.
If he is only joining for the course thats ok.

We are lining up some pretty good beers for the tasting -so Im sure he will love it !

Take up is looking good - we might close it up on Wednesday - I'll ping it on facebook as well.
The class sizes are looking good now. I'll ping the facilitators and get back.

Looks like there is great interest this year - should be great !

I'll add my name in before that, I just have to review dates with my other half to make sure I haven't committed to anything and forgotten about it.

Any update on this - don't want to miss out.

Your grand -

So.. we have being chatting - we are going to go with 6 regular classes and one off-flavour class.

The Dates of the classes are ...

08 Sept - Pales / IPAs
15 Sept - Stouts
22 Sept - TBA
29 Sept - The Germans
06 Oct - Lighter Beers
13 Oct - Off Flavour
20 Oct - The Belgians

We will let you know the actual Styles from the 2015 Guidelines at least one week before each class.
We will also let you know the 'homework' Beer (an easy to get beer that we all score at home)

Andrew, rightly pointed out - that the off flavours shouldn't be last so you can use the skilled learned to try more beers

If anyone has homebrews - we do like to evaluate one homebrew per class - 4 - 6 bottles are required.
We can keep the homebrew brewer anomymous, donors choice.

So whats next ??

I'll setup a google docs and where you register and pay
To Register - fill out your name and select the classes you are attending - the total will appear - and simply pay that.
Then send an email from your preferred contact email address - to bjcp@nationalhomebrewclub.ie

The off Flavour class might have a small supplement - to cover the cost of the test kit - but I'll double check that and get back.

Once people have paid - they will get access to the BJCP Class student area, where we will put lots of useful material

I'll setup that registration sheet this weekend and get back here - should have everything sorted for Monday morning... thats the plan anyways.


Thanks

James

Ok folks - I have completed that google sheet - I have pre-populated with the classes you selected in the doodle.

We are going to charge the same for the off flavour class - - there might be a fiver supplement on the day - but with the current estimated numbers if wont be required.

Please check the classes you are down for BEFORE you pay - you can add a class or pull out of a class if something has changed - also - I may have made a mistake - so check and double check your dates !!!

Once you change the attendance it should update the price - its basically 15 euro per class + 0.13 (our accounting flag).

Once you have paid - please send an email - with your name / email address / ammount paid. We will use this email address for correspondence.

oh - there is talk of a bonus HOP class - Saturday 27th October - where we get the famous HOP Flavour Kit (200 euro)- this will be paid for seperately and will be run depending on demand. Thanks to Peter and Andrew for investigating this one.
