Grand, sure I'll be there anyway and can help with whatever needs doing. I'm not bjcp so don't need points or anything like that

Dr Brown Ale

Yeah, just to say that if a second cellar person is needed I don't mind doing that.

Whatever is needed to make the day run as smoothly as possible.



Kellie

To all stewards attending Round 1 Lock13 Sallins

We ask that you arrive for 9.30am, I will give a briefing on what your role consists of throughout the day.

Please remember to bring with you!

  • A pen
  • A bottle opener
See you all in the morning  :)

Thanks to everyone who came out + stewarded on Saturday - you kept the whole thing turning.

The signup sheets in this thread ended up being tricky to manage; so we're changing things for Dublin:
    From now on please register yourself as a steward (or edit your profile, if you have beers entered.)
Even if you're already on the list below, check to see that your details are entered properly.


Thanks for your help + looking forward to seeing you all Saturday week!

Registered As Steward, hopefully there is still space. Would great experience to see the how everything works.

Always room for bodies helping out. Glad to have you Ross.

Yes, it really, really is.

I encourage anyone who's thinking about it to register and do something on the day, even just listening to the judges talk about the beer gives a great insight into the brewing process, off flavours and the reasons for them, not to mention it's doing something for the club.

It's also a great club social event, get to meet other brewers from all around the country, and also Club Royalty like CH.

I don't see any mention on the competition site of which categories we've been assigned. Just wondering if we'll find out in advance of Sat, like last year.

For stewards? I'm not sure tables were allocated to Stewards until the morning-of last year.

Correct, last year and this year Kellie assigned stewards to tables on the morning of the competition. I believe that Beerfly is taking this role on this year.

I think the comments above were people stating that they had entries in certain categories. I don't think a steward can be at a table where they have a beer being judged. Prevents anyone trying to sway the judges opinions.

In sallins some stewards were assigned to tables before the day. Tables had signs with the category and the judges and stewards on them.
Once everyone is registered on the site the organisers can pre-assign them tables and see what categories they should not be on, same applies for judges.
