Good meeting

I agree, good first meeting. Let's keep some momentum rolling. How about nominees for executives and committees ? I am treasurer of a couple of organizations and would be willing to assume the role if anyone out there likes. Otherwise I would be happy to serve in any capacity.
Since Paul got this thing rolling (I think), I would like to nominate him as President. Would the executive branch consist of Pres, VP, Treas, Sec or Treas/sec. What would the duties be ? May I suggest that the Pres has the unenviable task of organizing meetings and getting the word out on any other major topics. How about VP moderates the two other committees (event and Promo) and acts as a tie breaker/motivator. I would recommend committee chairpersons for the two committees. Any takers or nominees for the committee chairs ? Looking forward to more input here. Tanks - Les

The first meeting.

Unbelievable. A meeting, involving beer drinking, that actually ended a few minutes Early. And by the way Paul, I really liked that Irish ale - slash - Munich Dark. I'm brewing one myself today, using dehusked cara III instead of chocolate for an experiment. This is my first blog ever. Next thing you know I'll be getting into politics.

Welcome to the Blogospere of Beer

Just wanted to give this a try to make sure that we can view each other's posts. It looks like we have great initial interest in the brewers' meeting here on the 18th. Please feel free to post here or email me at paul@thomashookerbeer.com for possible agenda items. I'll put together a skeleton agenda that we can build on to cover the basics on forming this Guild. Hope everyone is well and I look forward to seeing you all on the 18th.
Cheers,
Paul Davis-Director of Brewery Operations
