BJCP Course Schedule

[Padraic]

I've been dragging my heels on announcing the dates for the BJCP judging course for too long. I will have a full list at some point today but for now the first two dates are below. (unfortunately July 20th is the only Saturday I am free in July)

June 29th
July 20th
August 17th (provisional) (24th & 31st will not work for me)
September 28th (provisional)
October 12th (provisional)
November 23rd (provisional)
January 18th or 25th (Revision, possibly later depending on when we can get the exam date, February is the aim)

All dates marked provisional need to be run by the boss to ensure I have plans already. Unfortunately the first two three are set in stone, but do scream if the other dates don't suit, and if enough people are screaming, we can move them around a bit I'd say!

Edit's have been marked with a strikethrough.

The October bank holiday gets in the way so October 12th works better!

[Shane Phelan]

That's really good to have these dates this far in advance, thanks!

No bother, I wanted to be sure that everyone could organise their holidays around the course

I want us to have excellent beer tasters for next years competitions!

I'll miss the August one too (back from Spain the day after)

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

They all look good to me for now.

[matthewdick23]

[Partridge9]

Yes October is now set as the 12th. I have updated the original post now.

Sorry lads but unfortunately August is going to have to be that weekend as I'm away the two weekends after that and I wouldn't have enough time to get prepared before that!

Sept-Nov are still open to debate, but it appears no-one has plans around then at the moment!

The 12 th October one clashes with the Ireland Game (as in - Im at it !)

Any objections to the 19th October ?

I have a wedding that day, but I'm not sure yet what the plan is. I could probably do the bank holiday weekend instead, but that might suit less people?!

[Partridge9]

I don't mind too much.

Ye may have this already but I found the BJCP App below that has all the BJCP styles and there are versions for all OS's.
