NHC 2016 Entries Update

[SlugTrap]

A potential opportunity may happen as we ask for payment for current entries and folks decide for whatever reason they don't want to complete process and delete entry.

How will that actually work?

If people haven't paid by closing date, will there be "second chance"/standby slots opened up?
Or is it possible that we'd end up with less than 400 after the non-payers get processed out on the 31st?

Ladies and Gents,

Firstly, many thanks for those that have entered in the 2016 National Brewing Championships.

We hit out limit of 400 beers earlier today with over 100 entries in the past 24 hours.
As we hit this 10 days in advance of close, a number of brewers who intended entering have missed out.
In order to assess the extent of missed entries, could any brewer who missed out please PM me directly?
We are not promising anything, but will see what can be done to accommodate as many members as we can.

The single biggest factor in making this event run smoothly is the number of bodies that present for service, Judges or Stewards and coordinators.
If you can at all, please put your name down for service as this gives us greater flexibility, makes the day run a lot more smoothly and allows us to expand he competition to accommodate more entries and entrants.

Many thanks,
John

Hi John, I put myself down as a judge for the Dublin leg but I'd be happy to steward instead if that would be of more use.

John, ditto for me. Cheers.

Thanks for the support guys.
Once your on the list, we'll allocate as necessary on the day.

Just a point to note:

When you enter a special that requires you to fill in the 50 character box, when you try to edit the entry this data is not available!

Re: the Firefox printing:

The labels open up as a 1 page doc. If you just print then you get page 1!

The labels themselves are on page 2 or even page 3 if theres a big page one.

So to just print the labels use the page range box and print 3 - 3. If you get an error then theres no page 3 so print range 2 - 2

If you want all the document then print 1 - 3 or 1 - 2

Hope this helps.

Btw: Can't find on Foxy: Edit-> Print !

That is possibly just wine as it's a custom style, custom styles are dodgy in the system.

Just a heads up to any Kerry heads that the castle off license aren't taking any drop offs for the comp. I called tonight and the guy said he didn't know anything about it and he seems to be the manager in there. Not to worry should be able to get them to Bradley's.

[Leann ull]

Ok breakdown in communication there sorry, I can save you a trip to Bradley's if somebody wants to collect locally and pm me with contact details

[johnrm]

@BigDanny, can you step up as a drop point? Send me your contact details, thanks!

[BigDanny84]

No worries, pm you now.

Lads, can you show me any example how to label bottles, please? Just not sure how to print those two pages (print two pages on one sheet of paper?). Just a picture, please ;-)

[Partridge9]

perhaps someone who can an entry handy can take a snap

and post it here.

Dont forget - rubber bands are your friend - no dreaded sellotape

Dude, I don't have a picture, but we'll have a chat about this tomorrow evening.

One page on one sheet of paper. The bottle labels are on their own page. Cut two out and discard the other two.

Thanks!
