VICBREW 2016

[worthogs webmaster]

We have a number of disgruntled members regarding the online only entry format. I'm anticipating that it's going to become my job to enter everyone's details in as they'll all groan about it. Don't yell at me, I'm just passing it on. I don't understand why you can't keep the manual format in place for those who want to use it. Surely the number of people who choose that option will be minimal, and with three weeks you should be able to sort those out.

 

[Mardoo]

Isn't it about not having to do manual pickups of entries anymore? That's how I took it, at least.

 

[Yob]

It's a digital world man...

Why should they expect someone else to enter their details? **** takes time as I'm sure you appreciate.

 

[worthogs webmaster]

There will still need to be manual pickups as I understand it?

 

[manticle]

No. Place the bottles in the usb port.

 

[GalBrew]

If you can do something as complex as brewing a great all grain beer for a comp, then surely you perform the rather mundane task of entering said beer online?

 

[Yob]

Picked up by scantily dressed Norwegian minxes has my vote, not sure how that helps with data entry but it'd be a bloody nice change

 

[fraser_john]

Think, given the number of entries they have, being online only is more about a reduction in effort over managing pieces of paper and translating that said piece of paper accurately.

If the online site does everything it needs to, it reduces the poor organisers workload enormously.

What IF the system fails.....is there a backup

 

[Yob]

then scantily dressed Norwegian men webmasters will fix it...

I can utterly recommend coming along in one form or another, stewards and judges alike, its a huge couple of days and you get such great exposure to so many different styles of beer.. in both roles...

There are plenty of people to show you the ropes so if youre at all keen for a great day (or two) I'll see you there

Sounds like the wood aged category would be most appropriate. Planning on being availBle to assist at least Sat, if I can get Monday off I'll do both days helping wherever. I'll register when I get back in front of a PCLooks like Manticle won't be booking a trip across the Tasman, which is sad.

 

[manticle]

I've offered my conditions and stand by them.
10 volunteers, new to the comp, judging preferred.

There was a list somewhere. Never saw it get to 10 but there's still time.

 

[manticle]

Caveat is that Tas State comp is on the saturday for which I've volunteered myself. Would only be the sunday should you get that list up to where it needs to be but I am a man of my word. Unless something dire happens with family or somesuch, I'll make the trip if conditions are met.

 

[droid]

The list was at 2, not doubting manticle would come. It would be nice to be proven wrong though about getting 10 noobs

2. Curly79
3. Nullnvoid (one of the days. To be confirmed which one?)

 

[Nullnvoid]

I'm still keen to be involved on one of the days. Need to check the calendar!
