Just a couple of points to make. Firstly, I know there are a lot of more important things going on in the world right now than swapping beer, so if something crops up and you can't get your beer sent out I completely understand. All I ask is that if this happens just let me know via PM and I can get one of the kind volunteer backups to step up.

Secondly, please try to send your beer ASAP because it gives time for your beer to settle and for mistakes or breakages to be rectified.

Thirdly, if you could mention either here or via PM when you have posted and recieved your swaps it means I can keep track of who needs a gentle kick up the arse reminder (there's always one ). Also don't "like" a post if you recognise your bottle having arrived!

And I think that's it. Look out for the PM incoming (hopefully) today and the review thread which will be opened on Christmas eve.

Regards, Steve :hat:

 

[MickDundee]

Well done Steve. As with every year, your organising of this is very much appreciated. I’m on a half day Tuesday so will try and get mine packaged and posted then if I have time.

 

[Clint]

Just checking...has anyone else had two addresses for Strange Steve...?
What ALL of you?

Only joking...thanks Steve!

 

[Subtle Duck]

Did wonder when the first name was Steve in the address

 

[strange-steve]

All PMs should now be sent, let me know if you didn't get one :hat:

 

[Mrhandsome]

Damn it, I have no idea what to send!

I'll have to have an intensive tasting session this weekend.

 

[strange-steve]

I've had several requests for names that are missing from addresses, but I've copied and pasted them exactly as I received them, so if the name is missing it's because I wasn't given it. It doesn't really matter though, a parcel can be sent without a name.

 

[Justin Dean]

Send your best beers?

Well only in the sense that you might fall asleep and lose the day

What... and miss the opportunity to watch the in-laws having a drunken argument over charades?! Disaster!
