Club direction 2014
Gingerpete Mon Jan 13, 2014 6:02 am
Hi all,
after another small meetup this weekend, we would like to try a few new things with the club to generate some more interest and improve the clubs activities.
1. Regular, scheduled meetups. Approx. 4 per year / Every 3 months where we all can catch up, swap brews and maybe cook a BBQ. At least one of these (Possibly Christmas time) will include a case swap
2. Other scheduled events - Meet the Brewer day (Potters), Newcastle Pub crawl, group brew day. Some other ideas could include a lecture by professional brewers, BJCP tasting course, single ingredient brews.
3. Improved communication to members - this was discussed at the meeting and Kingsley has offered to setup an email system. Email will inform members of upcoming events. The forum can remain for discussing topics such as group brew recipes, case swaps, etc. Announcements and events will also be advertised to AHB forum
4. Member recruiting - Create some signs and flyers for distribution to homebrew shops.
One of the most important things, in my opinion, is having a calendar of events set out for the entire year. That way it can be communicated to all members early and people can plan their schedules around it. I've done a rough guide of our calender, let me know what you think.
Meetup/Swaps
13th April
13th July
12th October
14th December (Christmas party - Case swap)
In addition to these meetups,
16th Feb - Newcastle pub crawl
15th May - Group brew (Barley wine yeast experiment)
14th September - Meet the brewer at Potters, Murrays or Six String
I would be really happy to hear everyones (or the two people on the forum) thoughts and ideas on how we can make the brewclub a bit better this year

Ok, so I've been a bit busy with work and stuff, so I've missed organising the Pub crawl in Feb - Oh well, I'll try later. Also, I don't know if anyone is reading this stuff anyway.
I'll try emailing everyone to gauge interest.
