Just to clarify a couple of possible misunderstandings:
I was suggesting we meet on Tuesday 7th at the Alehouse Project for an initial face-to-face, to discuss what kind of a club we want, how often we want to meet and where we want to meet. I was not necessarily suggesting the Alehouse as a regular meeting place, nor Tuesdays, the first Tuesday of the month, the year, on full-moons or anything else as the regular meeting date. We can discuss all these things. However I'm not averse to the idea of occasionally visiting the Alehouse, or Atticus Finch, or even Beer Deluxe for that matter, as a means to sample a couple of reference brews.
TimT, thanks again for the enthusiastic support and for setting up the Facebook page. I don't know if we're likely to decide on having an elected committee (and I'm not suggesting this) but if we do, you'll have my vote.
fergthebrewer, thanks very much for your ideas and suggestions based on what the Westgate Brewers do. We'll be sure to consider these ideas, and possibly come up with some better ones. And perhaps one day we may even beat you meet you in future club vs club competitions.
Charst, thanks for the logo. Are there two circles there, or have I overdone it on the last of the 2011 old ale? Appreciate the enthusiasm.
Thanks again, all. Appreciate all the enthusiasm for this.
