Post RDS events 'National Homebrewing day'

[Rossa]

So far we have commitments from reps from
NCB
Capital
Garden county
South Central
Maiden
Liffey
Kildare

I think that is right? Did I miss someone?

What about the other big hitters around the island?

Breaking this out into local discussions would be a good idea to see what exactly is going on so we can include it in a program of events.

Kildare we will be doing a hop harvest festival and fresh hop brewing inc:
beer tasting,
braumeister  fresh hop brew,
conventional mashtun fresh hop brew,
BBQ food
and of course all attendees will do some hop harvesting,
vacuum packing
and entertaining kids as well.
Key focus on a social outing with sensible drinking, local quality ingredients and beer as a food as an integral part of a healthy diet

Here's what we are planning:

We are now less than 11 days from the start of the RDS

HOWEVER ( ) in order to make the National Homebrewday a success we need to do some work now so we are ready with the info/flyers at the RDS: [Believes this is the whole point of the RDS follow up]

First thing we need is some artwork for the flyers at the RDS:

Anyone into graphic design?

Basically we need to include on posters/flyer that a club can customise:

National HB Day
National Homebrew Club

"Come learn how to make great craft beer at home"

In white space we can include:
Name of local club
Sponsors

Date/Time/Location/Contact details etc

Can someone come up with some artwork in 7 days?

If not its going to be some welsh crappity smakking artwork scribbles!

Will - anything at all will do, we don't need the Mona Lisa ! Simple text and image

Re the artwork for the RDS and later (around the locality). Here is a simple word doc with a poster that you can edit every which way. Ok its not Andy Warhol but its simple so edit away for your local events

However the site won't allow me to attach the docx as its too big!

Here's the pdf.

If you want the docx file please send me an email!

Fair play Will - your putting in a real shift for this gig, I think if we can promote it a bit at the RDS it will be MEGA !

I'll plan a gig in Midleton, but if nobody steps up to the plate in Cork, I could do it there.
If in the Well, its a bit silly bringing brew kit to a brewery though...

I sent out a mail to the local organisers this morning to get info on their local events. If you didn't get one let me know.

I've revised the weekend strategy to take in the new fledgling clubs in Meath and Crumlin who have meetups during that week. Now we are going for the entire week. It will now be known as The National Homebrew Week.  This also enables anyone to have a small event midweek along the tasting lines and be included in the promo material for the week.

What's the timetable of events so far?
