Are you a Liffey Brewer?

[admin]

Following on from offline conversations, we're gonna put in for a Liffey Brewer-only child forum of this forum. If you want in, add your name below.

1. Tube

[Ciderhead]

This came up before with Capital Boys and girls and I thought that sort of restrictive practice was not to be encouraged and that we were an all inclusive club? Sorry but as you can tell I clearly don't agree with that, how are folks supposed to learn from your glories or mistakes encourage new Liffey members, involve the rest of us by learning or supporting you, if you want to do uber secret squirrel sort of stuff communicate by email surely?, I really can't see a reason why you would want to do stuff behind closed doors instead of putting a sign above the door no ...... allowed. 
Where does that stop, where each of the 14 of us have our own hidden discussions and there are 2 posts a day on the main site
Who else in LB is calling for that sort of silliness?

[Shane Phelan]

Yeah we had one for a while in capital brewers but it was still visible to full members. We got rid of it as we weren't using it enough to justify its existence.

I still think it can be useful to have a private forum when trying to organise something.

More forums yay

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I'm not in favour of it either. If something needs to be discussed behind closed doors then the PM system is good enough. All it needs is one PM to everyone in the group. Just keep the PM handy and any time a discussion is needed you just reply-all to that PM to save you remembering everyone's username. Only thing that will feck that up is next time Tube decides to change his name 

Unless it's for small club specific group buys? Then it might be useful.... What do others think?

[Ciderhead]

Na sorry still not getting it , so now we are restricting what members can participate in groupbuys?, surely that runs in the other direction of one the things we do really well in the NHC and defeats the whole concept of the Group buy?

We have just asked people for a tenner and now we are saying well yeah but its only for that GB and not this one?

Applying that logic in future means I could go off and get barrels or juice or hops or whatever just for my members in Wicklow pretending its on behalf of the NHC and screw everyone else and only benefit local members,  where's the member community spirit in that, if that's your end game you can do all that sort of stuff on email or pm's.

Come on somebody else apart from Tube from LB's chip into this discussion and explain to an egit from Wicklow why you want your own sub-forum and this is a good idea

[DEMPSEY]

I do not like the idea of restriction either.

me too ....thanks dempsey  not sure what the point is...it may only cause friction  and suspicion..
Personally ( as Ive always said) Id like less forum and more practical and it would be lovely duvely to see more missusus, young up and teeneys and so on enjoying the hobby, social and education that comes from this fantastic hobby.
I find foruming a PITA and wish they didnt really exist because  I'd far rather go and do real meets up the road, down the road, across the road, up the pub and of course ( as I / we always do) get to as many meets as we can latest was 2 days at ciderfest and what a weekend ye missed, paradise of a place, gorgeous beer and cider, brill entertainment, interestin people and a haven for kids if anyone  was interested in making a family affair of it. Fair play to con trass, his family and  whoever organised that weekend.  There was a blues / rock band who were superb and a summer garden atmosphere second to none, lovely friendly relaxed feel to it

Shanna

[Ciderhead]

Somebody calls the Gardai,
What have you done with Shanna?, he posts above the quote...always

[Partridge9]

Brendan - way too much use of the word fab !
Sounded like an 'ACE' weekend !

Transparency (IMO) is the way to go - but that said - its a liffey decision.

I sometimes get a little frustrated with the forums - that's why its great to get events going. Cant wait for the GBS.

It is a Liffey decision and I respect that, but it impacts on all of us

So if Liffey have their own secret club on the NHC, Wicklow next please, we'd also like IT admin rights so that we can moderate, allow members in or cut them out also behind closed door as well thanks, after all that's obviously only a Wicklow decision?

Don't mind them Bren we all knew what you meant

[delzep]

Why not just having two threads per monthly meeting, one for discussing the beers being brought, and one to suggest any topics that could be discussed on the night of the tasting?
