So guys,

how late did the judging go last night? I had to pull out at 4.30 to attend another function, so sorry I couldn't hang around to help cart all those cases of beer down those steps

I think the day went pretty smoothly, thanks to all the stewards and patient judges. Special thanks to Adrian (Lefty2446) our head steward for being so organised - I don't envy you entering and collating all those judging sheets. BTW, how many entries ended up in the BOS round?

The only negative of the day was the tiny cold room we had to deal with, which was a logistical nightmare to get at bottles in a timely fashion. My back will never be the same.....

Still, I really enjoyed the day, getting to see how a big comp is run and meeting some interesting people, such as Dave Lodgson from Wyeast and a number of professional SEQ brewers.

Now for the results...............

Cheers - Snow

So guys,

Finished up around 1800, Did the best of show round this morning.
Busy tabulating and cross checking results then releasing results later.
At the moment were off back into the city to collect the rest of the entries (MM talking over my shoulder).

I think the day went pretty smoothly, thanks to all the stewards and patient judges. Special thanks to Adrian (Lefty2446) our head steward for being so organised - I don't envy you entering and collating all those judging sheets. BTW, how many entries ended up in the BOS round?

Thanks snow, All of the stewards did very well under very tough condidtions under lots of pressure. Howard Mullins, Jason McDonald, Chris Moss, David Clarke, Dave Lestani, Steve Wharton, Harry Roberts and Lyall Cottam (Sure I have missed someone, large appologies if I have).

Champion of each category ended up in the BOS round. Comments from the judges on the BOS round were along the lines of the advantages of including a specific BOS bottle with your entry for your best possible quality beer being on the final table.

The only negative of the day was the tiny cold room we had to deal with, which was a logistical nightmare to get at bottles in a timely fashion. My back will never be the same.....

I moved a few crates out in that coldroom and my arms are sore!, Thank you snow for doing a lot of the organisation in that shoebox.

Still, I really enjoyed the day, getting to see how a big comp is run and meeting some interesting people, such as Dave Lodgson from Wyeast and a number of professional SEQ brewers.

Now for the results...............

Cheers - Snow

The day went well, We had some really good judges and the results will be released when I'm confident that all errors and omissions will be eliminated.

Adrian - Chief Steward.

 

[clarkey7]

As stewards we were all happy to be involved and all worked well together to get the job done.

I think we all learnt ways to improve the day for next year, but the main obstacles were physical ones.....

We'll all just have to have a meeting (with lots of beer) to discuss.

Edit: I managed to slice my hand open looking for those BOS bottles......

Sooky hands PB

 

[Jye]

It was a long but great day B)

Big thanks to all the judges and stewards who I think had the hardest job. We learnt a lot form yesterday and next years should be even better... bring it on :lol:

 

[mossyrocks]

It was my pleasure to part of such a well organised and run event.

Top marks to Adrian and all the other stewards who worked so hard to ensure the judges were allowed to perform their job with as little incovenienced as possible.

Thanks to all the stewards and judges.

I was glad to get home and put my feet up last night.

Cheers.

Oh man sorry to hear about your hand! I narrowly avoided injury myself during the day. As it is, I have a bunch of cuts all over my hands that are throbbing today

Oh well - it was worth it. All for a good cause..... especially if I've won something

Cheers - Snow

 

[Guest Lurker]

Didnt notice much blood about the place in there today, must have given it a good scrub. 250 entries? We had half that in the West and it still took all day.
