Summer session club roll call

[Will_D]

I think a date should be announced so that we can all organuse ourselves/our clubs and the finals. Saying early June is a bit too early (apologies to Bren who as always is quick of the mark)

Thats like 3 weeks to brew a beer and get it judged locally.

I suggest end of June: 21 st of June is the summer solstice! Longest daya and all that ideal for a "Summer Beer"

I know last year was silly late for a summer comp but Wicklow entries won't be ready till mid June
Besides Irish Summer doesn't start until July anyway

[Ciderhead]

1. Capital Brewers
2. Lee Valley
3. Galway
4.South Kildare 
5. North County Best Brewers
6. GCB Subject to date

True  I suppose it'll depend on the availability of venues to some extent anyway.

How many entries from each club? it was 3 last year if memory serves?

It was 3 last year. If we get only 6 clubs entering we could bump it to 4 per club maybe with a max of 2 per brewer/brewing group perhaps. If we hit 7 clubs we could just go for the 3.

Just back from the NCB May meeting and we all want to know when this is going to be finally judged.

We need a date so we can work backwards to the club judging and so forth backwards as to when is the best time to brew.

Some people have brewed already, some are about to start and some are a week or two away from even starting.

Please please can we have a date?

The NCB  smoothies chatting to the mots this evening?

Shall we say Sat June 28?

I'm going to be on holidays around that time but I'm sure that won't be a problem and we might get a couple of people to run it.

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I won't be available the 28th due to the beer bloggers conference.

[Rossa]

I'm awaiting Barry to get back to me but the 29th is looking better for them so we will go with that.

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

29th might work yes.

[Rossa]

So, out of the clubs above how many have or will have beers for the final?
