Hi all, Enda here, currently based in Enniskillen. I haven't been brewing for a while but am itching to get back into it again. Its great to see a new Irish Homebrewing site on the go since I was on the scene last. I love the idea of local Homebrewing clubs and hope to get one started in the Enniskillen area real soon. (just need to find some members!).
Hi Enda
I think there is already a club page on the forum called Erne Brewers http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/board,50.0.html
Welcome to NHC by the way.
Alan
Thanks Alan, Yes, this forum was setup by Il Tubo a few days ago in response to questions regarding setting up a new club http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,4027.0.html (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,4027.0.html) At least we have a name now just need a few members.
Ok I remember reading that thread shortly after I became a member here on the forum and didn't know you had posted in that thread until I followed the link you posted. Maybe give nudge by pm to spacebandit if you haven't already and see if ye can get something going.
It may be worth your while becoming a full member - it only costs €10 for a year and you get access to many more features here such as group buys etc http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,2541.msg30494.html#msg30494
Partridge9 may have information about other members in your area, it may be worth your while sending him an email. He deals with membership stuff
Hi Enda! Keep it up - you're bound to find some more local brewers! You could ask Geterbrewed if they know anyone?
Bzfeale80 , I will defiantly be signing up for full membership...seems a bargain for all the discounts you get.
sub82, thanks for the information on Geterbrewed. I wasn't aware of this supplier. Will be handy now that i am Up north!
I was thinking of putting up some posters in the local Pubs to try and see if there was any interest locally in starting a club. Has anybody done anything similar? Would I be able to use the Logos Of NHC for this purpose?
Nice one! And as a full member of the NHC you'll get a discount from Geterbrewed as well as other associated affiliates ;D
Discounts from NHC affiliates (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,2551.0.html)
Yeah definitely! We did a bit of flyering using the logos and font in off licences, homebrew shop/suppliers and Queen's. There are templates etc. available on the NHC and associated logos (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,1918.msg22483.html#msg22483) thread, the one we used is at the bottom (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,1918.msg29079.html#msg29079).
