January meeting details
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 7:50 pm
OK, We're all set to have the January meeting at Bricks. There is no Theatre that night. There are a few things that we will need to adapt to in order to have meetings in public places.
1. This is going to have the most impact. We will not be able to bring commercial beers to these places. We will still be able to bring commercial bottles to the Longbranch. We hope to make up for this by having private tasting events more often, probably on weekends. Remember, these plaes will have beer for purchase, so nobody should go thirsty.
2. No outside food. There will be food available at most of the places that we meet. That brigs me to #3
3. Please be considerate and supportive of our host sites. These businesses are letting us use their facilities for no charge. Please don't make them rescind the offer. Segue to #4
4. Boundary Water rules apply. Meaning, if you bring it with you, take it home. that includes bottles, trash, and anything else that might tag along in your cooler.
These may take some getting used to, but being in public is good for the club. We also hope to make the actual business portion of the meeting flow more smoothly, so we will plan to start the business portion at 7:30. Most months, we''ll be done by 8.
Agenda for 1/19/12
1: New rules for public meetings. (see above, you will have a chance to ask questions and voice concerns)
2: Pay your dues. Jim will be present to collect money.
3: Grain order update from Tom Burns
4: Club Competitions
5: Nick from Backpocket will be present to discuss details of the Jan 28 event.
5: Events for the year
A: Beer fests
B: Big Brew Day
C: Venues
D:Private Tastings
If you have anything you want to add to the agenda, post it here, please.
