[hopapotamus]

did anyone make it to this?

[johnrm]

Brian?

[derfel]

I didn't get down - had too much on in work.

[johnrm]

Bummer, I was in the same boat.
Literally. Our office flooded, so I had to recover PCs etc.

[hopapotamus]

i wonder if the speaker could be invited to give a talk to rebel and leevaley brew clubs ?

[derfel]

I had that thought too - it's certainly something to look in to. I'll see can I give him a shout tomorrow.

[johnrm]

Great idea.

[hopapotamus]

im sure he would enjoy some wonderful cork brews if he was up for it.

[derfel]

I got in touch by email and he's on for giving a talk. Turns out he's an "occasional" homebrewer. So, what are we thinking?
A talk to Rebel and East Cork Rebels? In town - Fran Well or somewhere? UCC might be an option too - maybe tie in with the Fermentation Soc there.

[johnrm]

The Lee Valley lads might be interested too.

1. See if you can find rough dates/days that suit him.
2. Gauge interest here.
3. Location based on crowd - Upstairs in the Well would be good.
4. Book it.
