As you know the NHC is coming up with a new design and we should probably have a slogan/tagline to match.
There's is a €25 gift voucher on offer for the HB shop of your choosing to the member that comes up with the best Slogan for the NHC.
In a couple of weeks to allow those on holiday enter, we will whittle the entries to just 3 or 4 and then let you decide in an online vote.
I won't be involved in the decision of those final entries so I'm going to enter.
One entry per post so that they can be printed cut out and judged please.
Enter as many times as you want :)

I can't think of a good slogan but one thing I was thinking about our current name is that it doesn't make it clear that we're an Irish club. Maybe if we do go for a slogan it should remedy that?

Humorous, but inappropriate in my mind.
You don't want to in any way entertain the idea that there are legal issues, not as your tagline.

It is hard to be sure on the internet innit.
I think its funny but has sexual inferences, minefield alert so not for the NHC!
Keep going so!

Don't me slagging our lovely north side beaches. We had a flag until some toerag nicked it. We replaced it with a spar trolley.

In Cork, whales wash up on the beaches, in Dollymount its piebalds?
Only to view the trolley. It is rather nice.
In fairness in the rising sun, it has a mystique

Ireland's homebrew co-op
Don't Bullshit me about beer until you've brewed it
Home brewers family's that brew together stay together.
Home brewers don't have time for affairs.
Ireland's first homebrew community
Given we're the National Club, we don't mention which nation, while its obvious to us, be nice to have a tag line that tells our international counterparts here's what Ireland's up to. Few options below.
National Homebrew Club:
- Teaching Ireland to Brew their Own
- Brewing better beers for Ireland
- Brewed in Ireland. Brewed at home.
There's a space to put "since 2011" at the end of each but I'm not a big fan of the year thing in a tag line (except blacks of kinsale because it's excellent)
One last one
-I can't believe it's not Guinness.
Irish Homebrewers, responsible for three consecutive hop shortages.
or
"Barley, Water, hops are stewing, everybody's talking 'bout Homebrewing" to the tune of M - Pop Muzik.
Duty done, off back to the shed.
Will there be a vote? Even if a few folks were to narrow down the options
Ok gonna close this now, thanks to all that contributed, I am going to ask a respected memeber who hasn't been here for a while to pick the best 3 or 4 and then I'll put up a poll.
Thanks to all that contributed, there were some in there that I pissed myself over :D
I am thinking it will be guessed on the fact that we are serious semi pro and Irish, and if there is one with an element of humour in there that will probably make it to the short list as well
Could a mod please lock this thread now
Hammered. Pissed. Locked.
