Count me in UP. I've totally buggered up on the bottle side of things but I'm sure I'll get some feedback good or bad :lol: even my 3 Magners bottles that I used were the wrong ones they're actually 750ml not the 500ml required whoops still it will be a good laugh and it will be really nice to meet you all :thumb:

Yes just come along on the day,

Be prepared for about and hour of club stuff at the start of the meeting as its the AGM as well as a meeting and competition though.

Heald green is a good venue though plenty of chance for a good chin wag and a few sips :drink: of each others beers, bring a bottle if you want any appraisals on your efforts we do have at least 2 guild beer judges as members, so you will have decent pallets giving you feedback.

[Aleman]

I'm having a discussion with She about it now. It's been on the calendar for months, I've been mentioning it regularly to keep it on her radar.

And She has arranged to move her horse into a new stable this weekend I'm required as the only driver . . . and the muscle to move the bed and general muck heap technician. . . . Do it on Sunday I hear you suggest . . . .But She is in the choir at church on a Sunday and couldn't possibly give that up

I will be there :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
