The bar at the airport is open that day. All we need is a cheap ryanair ticket and then we can tell security that we missed the flight.

I voted for the 25th, but don't think that I will be able to make it, as the wife has a night out. If anything changes, I will be in.

I'm flexible.
Funny thing is the poll approach tends to make it hard to see whether people have preferences or are flexible.

Would there be anything to be said for doing a list instead - people could put down all the dates that suit and then we could figure out what the best option is?

I am really hoping for the 25th.
My brother introduced me to brewing last Easter.
He will be in Cork on the 25th and I want to show him what the Rebel Brewers get up to.
He has yet to find anything like the NHC in Wales.

For the new members, the etiquette at the meets is something like follows:
1. Go to the bar and buy yourself a drink. Try buy at least 2 or 3 drinks during the night so we're not flahing the 'Well's hospitality!
2. Come out the back and look for a gaggle of losers with bags of homebrew! Some will have NHC hoodies and T-shirts on. None of them will be clean shaven. You'll spot them easy enough.
3. Go over and introduce yourself. They tend to be a friendly bunch.
4. That's it :) Enjoy.
Start time is around 8:00 - 8:30. Anytime really.
Bring along some of your homebrew for tasting if you've got it. About 2 pint bottles should do.

Spread the word too.
I'm amazed that with the population of Cork, the tradition of brewing and the proliferation of new breweries that there aren't more home brewers and meet ups.
...and good on ya for picking the wettest seat in the house, with the greatest electrocution risk, you Daredevil!

Brian wanted me to post the link for the motor controller that he and Andrew were talking about:
http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/blog/pulse-width-modulation.html (http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/blog/pulse-width-modulation.html)
He wants to follow up with some pictures of it, but I'm sure he'll do that himself when he joins the forum.
