Title: Architects wanted - NHBC Organisation
Post by: Rossa on March 28, 2013, 06:21:19 PM
NHBC Orgainsation

To fulfill the membership needs we need to address our structure. Below is not set in stone but roles that have arisen since the inception of the club. Having more than one person in each role would be best (apart from the chief).

All clubs should have a place at the table. At least one rep from each club. Some may have more but one to discuss tactics on the ground and get the message out there.

Internal Ops should exist consisting of these people.

Formal roles should be filled.

These include:

Architects - members with access to Internal Ops. Every club should have at least one but preferably two architects.

Architects would fill the roles below:

Chief/El presidente
Vice Chief
Treasurer - Brian Dempsey
Education (Team)
Competitions coordinator
Club Coordinator - keeping the club picture together.
Sponsors/fund raising - making friends
Membership coordinator - pulling together membership benefits and
IT Team - Maintaining the IT side of the club.
Brand Manager 
Publisher - keeping the front page rolling with news.
Hand shaker/Baby kisser

If you are taking a lead in your club why not get involved. Why not get involved and help shape the club as it develops.

It is your club, have your say.

Everyone, it would be great if a few others answered Rossa's call to arms, we need to get some architects on board to help run this place!

Is that brushwood floating by there ;)

Come on now folks don't be afraid to take a step forward these roles are not accountable or judged and we don't take ourselves too seriously, there are also plenty of fringe benefits also, do not feel either that you have to be Dublin based.

Padraic what do you see yourself contributing to, I know like me you will also be driving your local club, Capital Brewers.

I am happy to step into any of the above or contribute to where team was mentioned above but in the immediate term see my major function as ensuring group buys are converted and delivered which is not on the list?

Post by: Padraic on March 31, 2013, 10:53:31 PM
I'm not sure where I'm looking to be, the Capital Brewers is my number one project at the moment.

After that BJCP training is a project I want to run with. But I'm willing to help people in any way I can.

Possibly help out with the front page as well! I'd like to see that updated more often!

I've answered the call!

I'm more than happy to help out to the best of my abilities,  When is the big shift due to happen or is it more of a fill the blanks situation?

anyways, I await further instruction ;)

Thanks Damo and Irish goat, we are currently working on a secret handshake and will be bringing all of the new architects in over the coming days, we still need a couple of more volunteers. (It'll be easier to bring everyone in at the same time.)

I'm kinda the same, I don't really think I'm suited for any of the roles that Rossa listed out but I still want to help out where I can. I was originally recruited as an Architect to tip away at content on the Wiki as I do a fair bit of writing in my blog so I would be happy to step up my activity in that area.

I would offer to help in those other roles but I wouldnt know where to begin.

Good stuff Tom.

I guess I'll do competition stuff.

Cara and Shiny...we need a publishing team. They will keep the articles fresh in the front page with the long term goal of a newsletter type thing that Declan had in mind...in fact there could be a fair bit of overlap there. What say ye?

Also....so noone feels like it is a life sentence....

The roles and club representatives are on a one year basis. Noone has to stay on but likewise noone has to be moved on unless the local club sees fit.

For the first year some of 'Architects' will be on the steering group but by year two the club reps will be solely responsible and the roles will hopefully be filled my these people.

I could have a look at what craft friendly journos are about, reference with articles the big craft pubs have been in etc, and approach them to see if they would fancy doing a piece on the club in general with a look to next years competition.
Now is also the perfect time to concentrate on the the newsletter launch, it would drum up a lot of interest and I reckon we could get it in a lot of high foot fall, relevant, spots after the success of the competition.

I like the idea of the newsletter and will happily work with CARA to make that happen. In terms of keeping the front page fresh that will need more than just one person, i.e. write ups about individual club meets, barrel projects, brew days,  etc.... while I can do write ups when I'm in attendance, I cant be at every club meet. It would be great if someone (probably the representative architects) from each club took the time to take a few photos and write up a few words about their monthly meets. That alone would be approximately 10 mini articles a month which would be a great source of content. This already happens to an extent.

Rossa, I just want to clarify.. I presume the very specific roles you've outlined above are at a national level and not a club level?

In the interests of formalising the structure of the NHC, I think each club should have a "Club Secretary" and an "Assistant Secretary". Responsibilities would include organising events (tastings, competitions, demos) at a club level and driving club recruitment. The club secretaries would also have a seat at the "executive" table and be able to put forward ideas in the interests of their clubs.

From a Dublin perspective - I think recruitment and encouraging new brewers is going to be very important in order to swell the ranks of the individual clubs. From a Dublin perspective - recently there has been a few new clubs created (South Dublin, Garden County) which is fantastic, but it also has the effect of reducing the numbers in other clubs (say, Capital Brewers). Are there enough homebrewers in the Dublin area to support the number of clubs?

The NHC definitely needs some sort of media-savvy "PRO"-type person to drive awareness at a national level and give advice to clubs. Perhaps we need some kind of poster campaign and distribute them amongst the craft pubs?

Another thing to consider is the level of support the NHC provides to kit brewers. Kit brewing is nearly always the main gateway to home brewing and I think we should support that with more demos, wiki articles etc. for kit brewers. We could even hold a kit brewing competition. I have some ideas on this particular topic that I'll address in a separate thread when I get a chance.

Another idea - it's been a long time since I was a student, but I presume a lot of colleges around the country would have homebrewing societies? Any plans afoot to bring these clubs under the NHC banner, or to help students set up such a society if one doesn't exist?

Sorry if this is off-topic and seems a bit random - I'm just chucking ideas out here.
Title: Re: Architects wanted - NHBC Orgainsation
Post by: brenmurph on April 02, 2013, 12:12:44 PM
Kellie and I are quite happy to help out. Ideas include:

Bringing on kit brewers to all grain (education)
Helping produce course design, structures and content (education)
Offering base (Kildare) as a central location for group meets (admin / hosting)
Regular brew days (educaion / club promottion)
Stewarding and  upcoming beer judges
Kellie would be delighted to help promote wine brewing especially "made easy" from kits and concenrates.
We may also be able to act as storage / pick up point for goods on the move.

All very good points Conor, I think most colleges have banned alcohol based societies but they might exist in an unofficial capacity!

I don't think we have too many dublin clubs, I think that these clubs will all grow to include enough members to justify their existence. (But I think we should definitely be keeping an eye on this!)

I think that support for kit brewers is very important and Bren has also raised that point. I'd really like there to be a structured course to bring people from kits to all grain, that can be rolled out in any of the regional clubs!

Maynooth had/has a food and wine society, mainly focused on wine but also craft beer but the emphasis was that it couldn't be a piss up society. I would say anyone looking to set up a homebrew society in an SU would find it very difficult tbh.
Title: Re: Architects wanted - NHBC Orgainsation
Post by: Bubbles on April 02, 2013, 02:06:53 PM
I'm shocked tbh. I'd no idea colleges looked down on this sort of thing.

I'd happily bring 10l of Lidl apple juice along to any students union and show them how to make some turbo cider. Cheap as chips and better tasting than any of the macro-swill I drank as a student. :)

A "food and wine" society, but you can't get pissed...?  ;D

Title: Re: Architects wanted - NHBC Orgainsation
Post by: irish_goat on April 02, 2013, 02:11:32 PM
The college funds the SU who in turn pass money onto societies and sports clubs. It would look pretty bad if a sports team lost out on funding whilst another society got money to spend on making alcohol. and getting pissed.

The wine society was only allowed to buy one drink per night, didn't stop us getting pissed (or inflating the number of people who apparently showed up to events).  ;)
Title: Re: Architects wanted - NHBC Orgainsation
Post by: brenmurph on April 02, 2013, 02:15:05 PM
colleges look down on beer and wine based societies which would generally promote sensible drinking and beer & wine appreciation, on the otther hand they are happy to fill their students with fosters and stella at 4 euros a pint in their student bars.
Maybe we could approach the colleges raher than the students themselves.
I think we need to promote sensible and quality drinking as part of the ethos of our club and have groundrules that we follow to ensure the club remains sensible re drink and drink promotion.

Cheers. The AG roadmap is a great idea Padraic, but it's also important that kit brewers are encouraged and taught how to improve their kit beers and not quickly steered in the direction of AG brewing. There's plenty of reasons people might want to stay as kit brewers (time, money and space being the main ones) and I think we need to be careful that we don't propogate the message that AG is the only way of making beer at home. I know that might not be a popular view given how many experienced AG brewers we have on here.

How about devoting a Capital Brewers brewday to kit beers? Might be very popular and provide the club with a few more members? Isn't there an off-licence in Kimmage that is actually charging people for kit brewing demonstrations?  :o Surely that's a market waiting to be tapped?

I agree, however, I'm a huge fan of kit brewing as well.
Its simple, practical and rewarding and suits the masses

I am happy to promote kit brewing and teach same, I am also willing to help people modify their kits using all sorts of bits like lemon, hops, chocolate, barley and so on.

I am also willing to produce a basic brewing from ki course that can devellop into a modded kit course.

I received excellent feedback on my compeition beers most noably the chocolate sout from a geordie bitter kit modded witth choc malt, molasses, honey and EKG hops.

My lemon ale using fruit peel from tesco scored a very respectable 37. So lets promote real beer from kits or all-grain, it all astes fantastic when brew WELL! lets focus on Brewing well rather than the mode of brewing

There is indeed a course in Kimmage, €20 notes a pop is the going rate but not much use too anyone who has made 2 or 3 kits. I would also like a Kit hacking course.

I would like to help promote in any way I can but I think im a bit out on my own in terms of location.

Regarding raising awareness of the club and what ye are brilliantly trying to do, why not contact the micros that are established in the country. Carlow, Galway Bay, Trouble, Hooker, Creans etc and ask them to put a link to the site. Surely they all started as homebrewers and wouldnt mind seeing it grow in this couuntry.

Any Bloggers on here can also link via their sites and twitter profiles.

Hi there,

Looking at Rossa original post re roles I must also admit that I don't fall into any specific one (apart from IT) and I think that is well served already. So I find myself asking how can I help but also how can I be of help. There is talk of roles on education and I find myself being attracted to this. I see that there are many aspects to this.  Documenting the construction of equipment, lists of parts, suppliers, tips and tricks. Can we formalise this process with lists of how to do things with photos, videos and good quality links to other sites. The use of equipment such as kegs, co2, regulators are very technical in nature and provide both a challenge and a great opportunity to learn. The whole brewing process Itself with the technical details of water, temperature, yeast etc

I would like to help organise this going forward and have experienced kit, extract and all grain brewers help share their knowledge and experience with others to help everybody learn along the way. Would it also be of interest to have some
of tthe micro brewers do guest pieces giving descriptions on their set up and how they differ from a small scale home brewing. Just an idea or two.

Regards

Shanna

Publishing, who wants to head up the team? I don't mind doing it, also, it's defintely a case of the more the merrier!

Education - Who else wants to get involved, I have plans for a beer tasting course. I'll definitely need help with this role? Or if someone else wants to take it up I will help them out!

I've added my name to the Publishing team of the NHC as I'd like to make some contributions to the blog and wiki. Not sure what's involved in heading up the team but I think Shiny claimed that spot already if I'm not mistaken? Put my name down for South Dublin brewers also. I'll volunteer for the post of Secretary of the South Dublin club, if there's no objections?

The last two or three posts have just pre-empted me:

I am not Irish, I am Welsh, so my English is well English and better than Scotch!!.

My question is:

Since when does "Voluntary Positions" equate to "Press Ganged"? 

Does it date back to the bad old days, pre-1916 when such things were rife in dockland areas of Old Dublin where the roaming (press) gangs of British seamen would nab "por auld paddy" with a pint containing the kings silver shilling??

However not to worry we are both happy being Volunteers!!

About this. Would you be willing to do fulfilment? i.e. the club buys 50 t-shirts, you keep them, and then as orders come in you post them?

Yeah I can do that. No ordering off the menu though as I dont print to order  :)

It was all a bit of a  haze :o Did Nick have big tits? Sorry Nick!
I didn't put CBA and Nick together.

I like new wheels, think outside the box, the fact that we have differentiated ourselves to date illustrates that new wheels work :)

IMHO I like the model where people are offering their skill sets rather than formalised roles, that way like a family, they are bringing to the table skill sets that they have and will enjoy what they want to do and don't feel uncomfortable in positions that they feel obligated to fill, in what is still a voluntary organisation.

I see we don't actually have a seecretary.

This is an important positition as it documents the descisions taken by the club and its executive for future committees. It also acts as a postmaster for incoming mail and first point of contact for people wishing to contact the club about more formal things like offers of sponsoship, advertising opportunities etc.

As James is doing membership (secretary?) would he consider the broader role?

Just as an aside


For any club  to be legally constituted there must be at least three roles defined
Chair
Secretary
Treasurer

there must be at least a chair and a secretary and if there isn't a treasurer that role must be assumed by either of those two officers .

After that the constitution of a club can define whatever other roles and offices they want , by election or co-option appointment or whatever .

But you have to have  a chair and a secretary ( who must be two different people )


Don't ask where I got these rules from , but I did look into this some years back and that's the legal position .

Time to firm up a few spots! Who are our Galway & South East reps? Can you add your names to the list please?

Did we set a time line for when these positions are deemed filled? Do we elect where there is more than one Candidate? Myself and Cara will probably work together to head up publishing anyway and in reality the commitee will run that show!

Anyone who can bring skills to one of the roles please do sign up for it! To be honest I would be delighted if someone would releave me of the burden of any of the positions I've signed up for!!!

Also Dempsey needs a second treasury helper, so please if you'd have interest in helping with this do sign up!

you beat me on the send button there !!

I agree with you  - we need to finalise the new structure over the next few of days.
Some slight concerns would be -

1:) Some clubs with no representation
2:) Multiple Roles - people spreading themselves thin.

I have replaced my extra roles with stand-in
Realistically I wont be able to complete 3 roles effectively
I would also like to firm up what each role entails - perhaps people are being put off as they dont know what level of commitment the roles will demand - but I will do this in a different thread.

Regards "Membership Co-ordinator" - realistically this role is performed jointly by the Secretary and Treasurer! So we could remove this from the list!
Title: Re: Architects wanted - NHBC Organisation
Post by: Partridge9 on April 22, 2013, 01:53:10 PM
@will - I take you point  - we can merge the three of them into two and shift the membership onto secretary.
@tube  - The Renegades isnt a new position - it was just renaming the 'non club' - just trying to make it more appealing (FAIL)

We still need someone to help Brian on the accounts side ..
This role is important as it gives Brian some backup and support and its best practice to have more than one person on accounts.

Well - there doesn't seem to be anyone in the positions - sooo I would tend to agree
- BUT we can always create them again should anyone appropriate come along - they are non-elected (volunteer) positions after all.

@tube  - The Renegades isnt a new position - it was just renaming the 'non club' - just trying to make it more appealing (FAIL)
Well whatever they're called, I don't think they're necessary.

Yes they are!

We are not trying to become an association of local clubs!

We are the NHC and as such a member should feel equal to any other even if they are not meeting regularly in a convienient local group.

Agreed: You can always join a regional group that you have almost zero chance of ever attentinding BUT why should you?

Guys - Just a small alteration - the secretary is going to be rolled into president and create the membership again - I believe this is important part of the puzzle - the membership team will have a few balls in the air.

I'll put myself forward as assistant treasurer, I presume the role doesn't entail TOO much work as I don't want to be spreading myself thin.

Doing another bit of housekeeping here. I assume this thread is still being maintained. I've put myself in the Publishing hotseat and also removed myself from the Membership team as I've done zero in that regard since my name was added to the list.
