[SIZE=10pt]Let the games begin!!!! [/SIZE]
 
Serving temps this year? ;)

Looking forward to it.. hopefully get a day pass to help steward if I can.
 
You, Sir, can get Royally FUCKED with a triple forward somersault & half-roll in the middle!

The usual (ie NOT distracted this year) attention will be paid to ALL entries as becomes them.

'Look forward to having you on the team, Yob...mwahahahaha!!!! B)
 
I'd be up for being a steward on the sunday!

Choice! Usually lots of "big" beers & a very relaxed afternoon as we wind-down to the results.

Shoot Mark Hibberd an email (in the original post) & he'll put you down for a slot.

Don't forget to turn-up early (free lunch for all Judges & Stewards!).

What we REALLY need is Saturday Judges & Stewards, so we can break the back of the schedule (Hint!).
 
Sorry, mate Panda's are off the menu for this year (they proved very popular last year & became prohibitively expensive what with the budget 'n'all).

I'm sure I could swing you an ocelot-burger, or perhaps wolf nipple-tips as a snack??
 
At the behest of the VICBREW committee, I'm gonna keep bumping this (sorry, Mod's) until we get the numbers.

For all you Victorians, I KNOW it's during finals-time (Personal yawn here..), but the event is before "that" thinggie happens on the last weekend, so there's no excuse.

Also looking for a dedicated crew of Stewards (this is MY personal thang..).

Lunches provided for all Jugdes/Stewards. No need for experience (don't be scared/intimidated), it's a lot of fun & I'll guide you through the whole thing. If you want to try judging whilst you Steward, or Steward whilst you try judging, it's all possible.

Lot's of great beers to try for free & fellow beer-geeks to talk-to along the way.

Mostly need people on Saturday (to break the back of the judging schedule), but Sunday is a good day to cruise-back & enjoy a few bevvies in a relaxed atmosphere before the results are announced.

PM me here, or contact me on the mobile on 0417 521 372 with any queries.

Martin

Edit: I missed an "l" & since I'm such an anally-retentive prick, I decided to be absolutely precise about my pismronounciation..
 
You haven't been ignored. Mark Hibberd is a VERY busy man.

Expect a response about a week out, when Mark will do a bulk mail-out confirmation to all & sundry.
