Just to get some context around this, I was kinda hoping to piggy back on any current orders in the pipeline. I'm not in a club member anywhere, and am not up to speed with what goes on in the Brisy brewing community. By way of excuse I am very busy with a full scale reno as an owner builder (200m extension) and have other commitments as president of a Toastmaster club -OK you can bring out some very small violins now
Ross is not the banker for this exercise, just offering for us to use his account. I have read threads that suggest the organisers of bulk buys are brave - unless there are some simple rules.
Here is what I suggest (without putting my hand):
(1) Money transfered to organisers account Prior To Order / Payment to Ross. Transfers accompanied by email with account details (BSB & ACC no and name recorded if return required),
(2) Agreed minimum quantity, for example 20 bags. If not met, than funds transfered are returned,
(3) Organiser not responsible for bag splitting - he is a collecion point only (unless involved himself), and
(4) Organiser holds bags for pickup. All care etc, but prompt pickup required because I/you can't guard bags of malt from mice etc.
OK, sorry that does not sound relaxed but in my experience, casual matey arrangments work fantastic when things are going well, and bloody terrible when they don't. That way we all know where we stand, and no one has to act as a banker.
