Evening Gents & Ladies
Been a bit of discussion on the Whatsapp group to head up to Belfast to give a dig out with the Competition leg in Brewbot.
If anything it'll, be a good excuse to check out this brewbot place (I've heard great things) and another excuse for a capital beer-trip, as well as getting some experience from judging/stewarding (think all judges are signed up but if any are capital, tag along).
I won't lie to you, it'll be a long day, and the faint hearted need not apply. Was thinking aircoach but they don't have any toilets and as we know from ABV trip, toilets on the way home are critical.
Trains will be as shown: need to leave on 7:35am to get in for 10/10:30 in brewbot.

The NHC will get you from the bus/train station in Belfast to Brewbot and back FOC, we just need to know numbers.
This offer is applicable to all travellers not just the Capital boys and girls

What's the timing for this?
When does judging wind up/announcements happen on the day?
We expect to start 1030-11 and finish at 4-5, we said that for Galway as well it was 7 but we had less judges.
There is no bos just medals
With that, Plan I had in mind was to be on the 7:30am train out and the 9:15pm train back (like I said, not for the faint hearted)
Although I'm sure if you needed to you could leg it for the 6pm train (see times in OP screenshot)
There may also be some drinking...allegedly
Hearing rumors there's a few more heads interested in this too
Lads has anyone bought their train ticket yet? Beer fly is looking at trying to get a group discount with Irish Rail
I haz not

Gang, mail about judging went out:
Briefing for judges is scheduled for 9:30, train arrives 9:45.
What next?
We saunter in late ;)
I suspect the time is generous to get people to be there as early as possible.
Be grand, they can't start without us.
You'll only miss the freshly baked croissants and 3fe coffee, I'm sure we can find you a rich tea and some Nescafé
