Any idea when the dates will be finalised so I can lock these down in my calendar?

[Partridge9]

Yeap -

We will wrap it up now - we are over subscribed by 2 but we will work it out.

In fairness, people have had plenty of time to respond to the doodle.

We will have all the dates finalised by the end of the week

I meant to reply but when i looked through the dates i was going to miss too many sessions - next year hopefully

This could be useful for some.

I wasn't able to make a few classes when we did it and I'm sure it'll be the same for others this time around but getting to some of them would still stand you in good stead.

[Hop Bomb]

I didnt do any of them last year. Just did the sensory morning & mock tasting exam. Home study!

[Partridge9]

Folks we are wrapping up this doodle now

Our class dates are ..

01 - 20/06/2015
02 - 04/07/2015
03 - 22/08/2015
04 - 29/08/2015
05 - 12/09/2015
06 - 19/09/2015

Everyone can attend on the 12 September - so we might aim for a sensory tasting / mock exam for that one.

We are still working on the exam, we have our proctors but need to get it published with the BJCP in the US now.

If you like the look of the dates above and you have not signed up - we could possibly squeeze one or two more in but PM me ASAP.

Next step, The teachers will have a chat about the new guidelines and discuss the layout and the course material for each class.
We would like to add two parts to each class - one is a technical session, explaining some aspects of brewing and the influence it has on beer
and the other is getting some of the higher scorers from the exam last year, to have a quick chat with you about how best to fill in the scoresheet and maximise your exam score.
Of course that depends on peoples availability.

Found this study guide on the BJCP website

Worth a gander.

We are getting all the relevant course materials into one google drive so people can access it easily.

First class is 20th June, looking forward to it !

[Partridge9]

Folks,

Some people are adding dates to their original choices

feel free to change the days of your classes, best done before you make payment !

Regards

James

Guys / Ladies

There is still one or two spots on this course if anyone is interested.
Starts in two weeks.

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I think Christina from the Dublin ladies wants in. I think she said she was in contact with someone but I don't see her on the list.

[Paul B]

Really looking forward to this

Is there any prep we can do before the first class other than reading http://www.bjcp.org/study.php ?
