The 2009 Bathurst Homebrew Competition will be held at the Kelso Hotel here in Bathurst on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September.
We are taking on the NSW Comp. this year as qualifiers to the National Comp. in Canberra. (Yes, I know us Bathurst Brewers are crazy) but that's what us homebrewers do.
We will still take entries from all over the "world", it will just be that the NSW entrants will be able to qualify for the Nationals.
We will be running it as a BJCP Comp. for the first time and will be doing the same classes as the 2009 National Comp. This means that it will be our first change in classes so any of you that have old classes and guidelines from previous Bathurst Comps. they will be no good to you for this year.
I will get more details up on here in the next few weeks as I am still organising sponsors (that reminds me, any of you out there who want to cough up some cash or goodies for the comp. then please let me know.)
We don't have a lot of time so if any one out there can help then we need you.
The Kelso Hotel has a motel attached and it will be first in best dressed for accommodation. They charge $65 and single or $85 a double per night. Their contact phone no is 02 6331 6675. Betwen us Bathurst Brewers we could take in a few so put your hands up early.
Now entry fee will be $7 and there are some restrictions as to entries in each class.
I will have "Entry Packs" available by mid July.
The other important thing is our Presentation Night on the Saturday night. This will cost $35 a head and will include a buffet meal and all beers (micro & homebrew), soft drink and local Bathurst wines on each table. You will need to get in early for this as it usually fills up quite well.
By the way lunch is supplied on both days of judging for all judges and helpers.
Now I haven't got all details as yet but if anyone wants to contact me you can get me by E-mail at [email protected] or my mobile on 0417 084 044
So come on all you homebrewers why not come to Bathurst for a great weekend of beers, great company and enter a few beers and you might even walk away with a prize.
Cheers
