Ali,

I can steward on the day and if you need any help on the Friday let me know.
Glasses are sorted, just waiting for delivery.

Cheers

You're down to steward. You can bring it on the day....

I'm sure I had seen some hotel suggestions but can't find it now ...

Am I ok dropping off 1 entry from a friend on the day? (he has also posted some other entries)

We're staying about 25mins walk away, so we'll be there as soon after breakfast as we can, give or take hotel breakfast times etc

One can't help but think that emailing me would be simpler with these sort of queries....

I need to know which beer it is and it must have been paid for by the deadline.

wow!!!

[alikocho]

wow!!!

Indeed. By far the largest homebrew competition the UK has seen (I believe), and the spread of categories shows how far homebrewers have moved from the categories that older models of competition used to offer (this would be a LOT of specialty beers under NGWBJ).

But, we still have to get them judged...

Indeed under the SIBA model that I have seen many would not fit in at all as SIBA is aimed mainly at 'Commercial' beers.

Awesome work from you on this Ali, I feel very much a hanger on just coming down for the drinking . . . Still you can work me hard as a steward to make up for it.
