Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

[idzy]

A question of swap meet protocol for you all????

Whats the general view on non attendees grabbing a cube?

My opinion is, if you want a cube you need to attend.

Others will say "give everyone a cube whether they attend or not :wub:", but in my opinion this isn't really fair on those that are doing the brew. The extra cubes go to those that want to chip in an additional share on the day. In my opinion this is the fairest way.

It takes a lot of logistical and physical effort on the day to do the brew and it is nice to see the spoils go to those that are there and contribute to the swap.

 

[Mayor of Mildura]

Yeah i reckon attendees should at least have first dibs.

 

[idzy]

I dont want someone that does attend and will be involved in the brew to miss out on a cube.

So my question is should I remove myself of the cubers list and let a reserve cubist move up a spot?

Since there are reserves, I would suggest remove yourself for now. Particularly given you are doubtful to attend.

Priority for cubes I have seen in the past is:

1. The cubers list
2. The cubers reserves
3. Anyone else in attendance that wants a cube and/or an additional cube
4. Those that aren't in attendance that have given people money to someone just in case there is a spare one available

 

[malt junkie]

I believe if you've put your name on the cubist list your expected to attend and help out on the day, only fair really. now if commbank would only let me pay, I'd be happy!! 3rd time lucky maybe?

 

[Camo6]

Do what Jobe would do.

 

[Siborg]

If I can't make it for the entire day and help out with the brew, then I'm happy to give my place to a reserve. I'll confirm shortly.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

ignore me.....

I took myself of the cubist list way back at post #308.

carry on....

 

[mudd]

I'm out guys, sorry for the late notice. I haven't been on AHB or brewed for a long time.
Can someone update list
Mudd

 

[Yob]

#1: mudd blows
#2: GrumpyPaul also

Done

 

[malt junkie]

I believe that means droid moves to the swap cube list.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

I'll be there from the morning until mid afternoon. So depending on progress may or may not be there until end of brew but happy to assist for the time I'm there, no salad. Can I retain my cube spot? Don't wanna upset any keen contenders...

 

[Siborg]

I'll remove myself from the cube list. I won't be able to make it for this one unfortunately. Definitely need to get off my arse and brew to fill the kegs up (and to the point where I can participate in a swap again!). Picking up my offset smoker on the weekend and I'll need some beer to go along with all the delicious food I'll be cooking on it this summer.

 

[idzy]

I'll be there from the morning until mid afternoon.

I'm sure you will be true to form and passed out on a chair holding a glass at 3am speaking gibberish...

Of course mate.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Haha, I'll bring a plastic cup [emoji33]
Cheers!

 

[TheWiggman]

I don't have a face to a username for everyone at the swap, but I'm pretty sure I remember you DJ and you had the swaggers BIG TIME at about 9 PM but kicked on hard. If Wayne's bar wasn't there I don't know how you would have kept yourself propped up. The next day when my wife asked about everyone's form I said something along the lines of "well we certainly weren't sober because we'd been drinking strong beers all day, but there was this one bloke..."

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

I hope your not confusing me with the flasher?! Hahaha. I ate the habanero... if that's who you were thinking of I deny everything... [emoji12]

Bahaha.


Cancel your other plans.

Dunno which should be your next album title - “1 DJ, 1 cup" or 'The Chilli King'

 

[Mardoo]

There's a restaurant in Box Hill called Chilli Flow. An…awkward name.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Perfect name for the album, 'Chilli Flow'. Incorporates best of both options JB mentioned [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

How'd you go Jon?

 

[WarmerBeer]

Well, my fears have been confirmed. Love my mum, but she's gone and organised her birthday breakfast for the morning after the Case Swap.

This means I'll no longer be able to camp the night, and will need to be in a fit state to drive back home on the Sat night. I do still plan on attending, swapping, eating and palavering, but wont be able to drink more than a couple.

I'm happy to give up my spot on the cubers list, if anybody who is staying on wants to bump me.

 

[droid]

How'd you go Jon?

Hey Adam, I decided not to say anything as I'm only getting a couple of days a week at the mo and I kinda don't want to risk getting nothing or seeming difficult/fussy after only my second stint last night. They actually didn't have me down for any work this week after I said I couldn't work x days, until I mentioned it when I went in to check the roster...but Saturdays and Sundays look like they are for the regulars - it's when they get better money. I may have to work on the Friday but it's 6am - 7am finish so would be good for set-up Friday arvo.

I notice the staff xmas party is on the 3rd, they may say "hey new guy - you can work tonight"

I might have to get back into F & I, stacking shelves isn't going to cut it for long - you got a gig for me? hehe

So to make a short story long...I'm playing it by ear...and there's 5 minutes you'll never get back lol
edit> I have no problems giving up my cube or swaps as I was coming up more for a beer and to say hi
