Hot News:
We are going to merge the judging of the NCB and GCB competitions.
The judging will take place at the GCB venue in Bray on the 23rd of August.
This means that we all have about another two week from the original deadlines to brew beers, register and pay, and get them picked up!
The actual comps WILL have separate prizes - the GCB prizes are humungous - the North County are still TBD but just think of the Kudos!
So now you know its not too late to brew!
More details about the timescales and pickup points etrc will be announced later
Cheers
Will & John

What's the closing date for entries on this?
We have merged the two competions so that they will be collected and judged together.
This has effectively given everyone an extra 2 weeks. If Judging is on the 23rd then collection will probably be on the 18th (Monday)
The registration will close on Thursday the 14th of August.
The judging of the NCB beers will NOT take place on the 9th! but will be judged on the 23rd.
Note that there are still two competions:
One with some excellent prizes Hotels and meals etc
the other: Prizes are still TBD but probably Cash!
Sounds great.
I am a Drop point for Cork - Penrose Quay - PM for details.
Aim to have your entries with me ON OR BEFORE Aug 16th.

Well the prize money didn't last long:
John donated his winnings to the "Ice Bucket Challenge" Quincey owner of the Wicklow Wolf brewery was challenged and decided to use ice cold beer instead! That raised €250 for the MND campaign.
This campaign is HUGH
One of the lads in the club was doused with 100 litres of iced water!!
