Afternoon Brewers,
Every year in Clonard we sort bottles a week in advance of the start of the competition and this is done with the expert help of volunteers.
The date for this years sorting is the 14th of Feb.
We are seasoned professionals at it now and it runs smoothly. Last year we started just after 9 and sorted and crated 400 bottles in 4 hours with a great bunch of volunteers.
If we start at 9 or just after, we get it done before lunch, important this year as the match starts at 5.
The more volunteers the quicker it goes.
We provide lunch and as its Valentines Day to show our appreciation of your time away from your loved one on that special day there will also be a small token, "Bribe" for your partner.
Lifts are available from Dublin if required please state if this is needed. The warehouse we sort in is a distribution point for commercial beer premises and location details will be posted to you if driving.
The sorting and competition doesn't happen without you so please put your name down if you are sure you can help that morning.

im bringing the wife, this sounds romantic
With upwards of nearly 470 entries so far, a big increase on last year, we could do with a few extra bodies to help sort the bottles next Saturday.
Remember the more bodies, the quicker it's done.
Without bottles sorted, how are we going to judge them.
If your free to help next Sat, let us know & we'll appreciate your time.
So, go on add your name to the list.

Well done to everyone for a sterling effort today.
900 bottles sorted and crated !
Great stuff lads.
Big thanks to all sorters (including the young apprentices), the strength and success of the NHC & the Nationals is dependent on the help of its members who give up their time & effort.
This year, the sorting ran very smoothly, using the experience from the previous years.
As they say, many hands make light work, well that was true today.
Roll on The Oslo (21st Feb) & Alfie Byrnes (7th March) and best wishes to all entrants.
