iPA classes being judged at Nationals. Had a great time with some great beers and everything much more relaxed than last year.

Indeed, it was a well organised day and thoroughly enjoyable.
Well be pinching some of Ali's tricks to apply to our London Southeast comp/fest for November.

Note to self for next year - must not steward category 18, my head hurt all the way home on the bus from Oxford to Hemel :sick:

And yes, lessons were obviously learned and applied after last year, which made for a far less stressful day - well done Ali et al on the organisational front ...
