Folks. Just a reminder that this is happening at 8pm tonight in Northern Lights, Belfast.

Be there, or be a 2-dimensional polygon comprising 4 straight sides, all of equal length and all at right angles to each other (clue: NOT a pentagon).

Square?
Aww... The answer on my card is 'dodecahedron'. Do-dec-a-hed-ron.

Well, you may have missed out on the big prize, Roo, but you certainly don't leave empty-handed; you've still got the foot-spa, the coffee perculator and 37 pounds cash! Not a bad haul. Safe journey back to Ballymena and thanks for being a smashing contestant.

Next up; we have Dominic from Castlecaufield...

Great meet last night. For the first time in ages it appears that we got through a lot of actual topics of discussion, as well as the obligatory beers. Very productive, which is more than will be said for the 8 hours I have to somehow try and get through in work today.

Highlight of the night for me was Killian's impressive array of stationery. Hopefully you can read back what you wrote  :)

Cheers lads.

It's great to finally get a secretary and some decisions and topics covered in between small talk. Looking forward to the bombardment of new posts for our man in the North.

The standard of beer at the meet ups never ceases to impress me. The 'winner' on the night was probably banjo's stout followed closely by bazza's dubbel.
There was a distinct need for more fruit though. Gareth more orange, roo more blueberries, Andy ???

The minutes! are as follows:

National Comp:

Christ; that's some write-up, Killian, cheers.

Funny thing is, I snuck a peek at killian's notes at one point when he'd gone to the toilet and all I could see was page after page with the one sentence repeated: 'Kill them slowly..'

But, hey, it's the end result that matters.

Quiet_Man

Great night and great write-up Killian.

All we needed were some chicken wings.

My choice for beer of the night was Bazza's Dubbel.

Re: fruity beers - Duke Wilhelm IV was right, way back in 1516! You obviously never got his memo.

Roo

On a personal note I got to fond out either

1. Blueberries need to double up versus raspberry (3kg into 22l isn't enough)
2. Fruit beers should be sours preferably
3. Fruit beers are a no go for some
4. Someone has rhubarb knocking about...now if that was paired with ginger.....the uncouth may be converted.

EU? What's that when it's at home?

"quiet_man - Thankfully the EU sent out another memo in 1986"


In my opinion, poorly contested on the grounds of Public Health, when they just should have come out with it and said "Fruchtbier ist scheiße".

It's what Duke Wilhelm would have done.
