+1 on that question
Same as that , have you a gmail account bren ?
Bren,
Can we PayPal-a-Pint-for-Kate?
If you don't have Paypal lets use the club account - what say you Brian?
Then Brian can just hand over 1 payment!
I fine with this. I unfortunately will be away this weekend so cannot attend but would like to buy a pint online :)
thanks for all the positives folks.
we dont mind how people help if they want.. we have a lot of hampers as prizes for the raffle.
Ideally dont want banks profiting from our efforts if possible.
@ willD & partrige9
will be out your way this evening and will have a couple dozen bottles of our finest beers . Ye can spread then around at 3 euros to Northsiders if ye want to try that. We are meeting the Dublin Beer ladies as well they are having a 57 headline bash with raffle, and some other ideas.
Compared to craft offerings in the offy we guarantee our special steps for kate beers are up with the very best on the market so at 3 quid donation its a great exchange for a great cause that really should be included in our national health but is not unfortunatly so we carry on regardless.
Wuld be great to see a bunch of ye down at the event. Kate will be here and the beeers will be served fresh from keg, handpump cask and oak cask..an event to beat all beer events....
Hopefully this answers previous questions.
We hope someons who has a dpd account ( maybe HBC if ye are looking in) will deliver the hampers where necessary ( many can be hand delivered / collectedhopefully) in exchange for a plug in the right places!!
paypal, bank or cash we dont mind..... all appreciated and if ye can make it ye will be amazed....as usual at our events we have great food snacks to go with the wonderful beers.
overnight available as well if anyone wants to make an evening of it
I'll try make it down with the wife Bren but if I can't I'll send you a donation.
great stuff bogwoppit... great day assured, just drop in for an hour if u can...welcome all day if u like !
spread the word, !
@Dempsey, can you give us a magic number for donations via bank account?
I suggest .12 for December
Nice one Sir Davis - Saves me having to run out and used my code card reader thingy.
If I buy a pint but don't drink it, it's no reflection on your beer, Bren!
Couple of pints bought. Hic.
@johnrm...will get them to u via ciderhead next time hes bringin u out on the beer ;)
Virtual buzz. Hic.
Kate is 18 months old, at the moment she can not sit up unaided, crawl, roll over, walk. She has a beautiful smile that would melt hearts!
She looks like a very happy child in the photos. Ye must be very proud of her. Good look with the fundraising.
I've added a "donate" button to your original post for those that can't work facebook (like me!).
Kate is starting therapy in Limerick next week, she is very weak at the moment so she will have 5 days intense therapy for an hour a day, to build her up for a 3 week intense session in February please god. She will need a lot of therapy which means big money.But to give her any chance in life this is what we have to do, if left to our health system Kate will never have the chance of walking or even have any movement from the waist down! A big thankyou from the bottom of my heart for any support you may offer Kate :)
12 cent is a good number :)

paypal@nationalhomebrewclub.com, right?
Will you be doing this again been?, obviously it's a great cause and something I would love to support. Either way could you pop up a PayPal address for off site donations
Spent a nice few hours out with Bren and Kellie yesterday. I really enjoyed all of the beers, top quality and learned a lot maybe too much to remember. I think it would be very hard to get so many great beers one after each other again. Shared the Bock and bitter on the train back, really good stuff. I hope the rest of the day was a success.
Apologies, I see you already put payment details up. Contribution made, goes without saying but I wish you all the best
Sorry I didn't make it yesterday. Just made a donation via the NHC bank a/c. Hope little Kate's treatment goes well.
