Title: North West Meet Up
Post by: CARA on April 19, 2013, 01:04:27 PM
I think it's time we tried to actually get a meeting on the go. I be home about 3 times a month so it would be nice for us all to meet up for a pint and a chat somewhere to discuss the club going forward.
Any suggestions on a date? I'm relatively flexible with a bit of notice.

I'd be up for a meet-up.  Could drag one or two others along to it as well.

Derry's going to be rammed this weekend, with the jazz fest. Some time in May though, would be nice.

Just been snooping through the Belfast section, and they're meting up all the time! Maybe we should think about something.

What's better for folk: midweek or weekend?

Been sussing out venues for holding meet-ups.  The Derry City social club would be a grand spot.  Chatting to the fella running the bar, said it'd be no issue if we were to bring along our own stuff.  Plenty of space there too, which could even be used for a demonstation day.

Thoughts?

(really need to get on here more, btw).

Sounds good, sure himself is moving home so we'll have an extra body to drive the club forward!!

Tom, do you reckon we'd be good for a meet sometime before August?

I'd say at a push I could organise one for Sat 27th?

Yeah, should manage something! I've my "summer beer competition" entry not-fermenting as we speak.

We'll go with that then.

Sat 27th July and we'll do a kit and extract brew.

Excellent. Any preferences? Should we advertise it about the town a bit..?
Title: Re: North West Meet Up
Post by: brendy_éire on July 17, 2013, 10:02:45 AM
We going for this then? I can get it advertised to social club members and on their Facebook page.

Do it, do you reckon a wee poster or something might be a good idea? We could get it up in Sandinos, Grand Central, Warehouse, Harrys in Bridgend etc
Title: Re: North West Meet Up
Post by: irish_goat on July 17, 2013, 03:37:48 PM
Yeah let's do it. Is there a generic NHC brew day poster that we can edit? Mightn't be a terrible idea for the club to have one decent poster that can be easily edited for local clubs.

Yeah that was suggested in publishing although I don't think it has yet come to fruition. Wouldn't need to be much on it; the Rabbit, Maiden City Brewers, the time and place and a little blurb about who the club is

What time are we saying here to i throw it out on twitter for a start!
Title: Re: North West Meet Up
Post by: irish_goat on July 17, 2013, 03:51:40 PM
If we're just doing an extract and kit I'd say 2pm might be grand.

Do we have a poster we can use at all?
Have to go to the club this evening, so can get it printed and put up then.

No poster yet but I've a pile of flyers and cards here-I'm just looking for your house now

Is there anywhere to access the high res version of the NHC logo?

Post by: CARA on July 22, 2013, 05:30:21 PM
It should be under the competition forum, logos for affiliates
