A few people have been asking me for stuff that would help them brew up yeast from slants. Particularly where they only have one slant and just want to take a "scoop" of yeast from it to grow up. This requires particularly small glassware which would have been a nightmare to arrange separately. As a result I have made up a little kit of useful items that would help brewers at the extremely low yeast concentrations they are likely to be working at. All this glassware can handle autoclave temperatures.
The kit contains
1 * 05ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 10ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 25ml Volumetric Flask
1 * 50ml Volumetric Flask
2 * 50ml Conical Flasks
2 * 10ml Pyrex Beakers
€10/kit ( I have at least 10 of these)
Have you got, like, ten of these kits, or is this the only one?
What size batch would you ferment with this culture kit - 5gal or as much as 10gal (the keg theft topic is elsewhere).
I will have one please.
Tom then Dempsey has dibs but if there are more that 1 :
1 Tom
2 Dempsey
3 Damun

I updated the OP with the numbers. The idea is you step up with this Kit. Its really focusing on the low end as people already have the large conicals.
So you go something like this depending on your own preferences/timescale. The additional sizes give a bit of flexibility.
Scoop (<1ml) -> 5ml -> 25ml -> 250ml -> 2L (Allow a week for the steps, roughly)

Shiny ye mentioned ye had at least ten if that stretches to 11 count me in, if not that's no bother
Yeah I definitely have 10 but I could have much more, I just might be missing the odd item.
if there's any more of these going I'd like one and can meet you at the competition in cork or dublin, I can also collect for anyone else in cork that wants one

I may be able to fly into town on Tuesday night and collect in Farringtons.
I'll confirm tomorrow when I know for sure
Let me know before tomorrow evening as I'm putting all the kits together in the evening.
Shiny,

Shiny,

Don't worry about it, I will figure out a way of getting them in there! The kits will be very small anyway.
Do you want me to bring those two kettle elements with me ?
These kits wont be winning any fashion awards, I have feic all packing material. ::)
Ok I have 10 full kits counted out and that has used up all the 10ml volumetric flasks. Given the amount of people on the "mostly" full kit, I'm going to lower the number of 50ml conical flasks as I think it is useful to have at least one of these. I have also upped the other measures to keep the value the same. Someone with the full kits might offer to swap with Beerfly as he requested 10ml flasks specifically? Edit: I found a spare 10ml flask for ya Ronan, I have it separately for you.

St. Fursey
Which is the handiest payment option for you shiny?
I think one of the Galway members goes to the bjcp although I'll have to confirm that first, if not it might be able to call on another member who's moved to Dublin recently.
Paypal is probably handiest for one off payments. I can bring yours to the BJCP no problem, I think HopBomb is doing the exam but not 100% on that.

Maybe HopBomb might be able to bring St. Fursey's kit also? They are pretty small.
And me as well, if he doesn't mind
Do i owe shiny or johnrm for this?
johnrm gave me the money for yours LordEoin. I completely forgot to bring everyone else's to the BJCP, I will sort those out on a later date.
Rightio, thanks shiny and john
