BJCP Course 2015?

[Will_D]

Whats going on here??

Where is the mention of 30 places and why did a list get truncated??

[re. post # 59] : Why was Shane, Dublin, Entry 31 deleted? By whom? Was it Tube?

[Will_D]

Number 25 waqs always you Tube!

So who is ShaneK with about 35 posts and the latest comment "never mind thanks"

WTF is going on?

This list is getting out of control!

It was a big enough task to organise the first BJCP training sessions (just ask Padraic) with about 16 people attending a tasting day. Can we really manage 30+ ?

@Saruman, you just yoinked Shane from the list.
Was that intentional?

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Yes, unless I misunderstood, he said he was out.

[Hop Bomb]

Is the exam limited to x no of people? Or just the study group?

[giacomo]

Yes, unless I misunderstood, he said he was out.

I understand that was anther Shane... Shane took himself out a few days ago...

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Hmm.. Then just in case:
This strikes me as something better suited to a google sheets doc anyway.

In Google Docs 100 people can make a balls of it.
I've cleaned up the sequence so that it matches the original requests.

So, this is one helluva interest list.
Who is organising?

There are 2 pieces
Tasting - at however many venues
Exam - in one venue more than likely in The Pale

[Hop Bomb]

Id like to run the tasting/study group in Galway. But if the limit is already reached for the exam only part then there isnt much point. Id like to re-sit my exam this year also.

[Partridge9]

I'm on that - Basically where we are ..

We are organising 6 sessions over the summer - roughly one every two weeks with a gap here and there

We wont taste every style, but target a few and concentrate on getting good scoresheets filled out.
There will be an exam tasting at the end of each class, in which will use exam scoresheets and conditions.

Roughly starting end of may - rolling to end of august.

These sessions will start with an off-tasting. Then there will be 5 sessions where 6 beers are evaluated per session.

We are going to pick 8 weekends and two will be voted out by the majority.

Depending on numbers we might run an additional off-tasting at the end for those who dont make the first one.

The price per session is roughly 15 euro for members and 18 euro for non-members.

This will cover the price of the beer/ tasting kits.
You dont need to attend every session, you pay for what you can attend, but the off-tasting is strongly advisable.

There is an additional price for the exam - but for the moment we are just going to take a deposit from the people going on the course. People on the course are guarenteed a seat for the exam.

BJCP in the UK have kindly offered to assist with the proctoring of the exam.

We are currently targetting mid to the end of september.

The current Venue is The Black Sheep. We have teachers for 5 of the 6 classes

I will  confirm prices and get a date list going once I have spoken to all the helpers and people giving the classes.

Also - I will liase with The HopBomb and JohnRM for Cork and Galway - see if we can get the same classes run roughly the same all over the country.

Anyways - thats where we are at !

[Partridge9]

Sorry - just to add - we will try to cater for as many as we can with the exam. I appreciate a lot of people want to sit it.
