For those that haven't heard, NHC 1st round regionals will be here at Oskar Blues.<br>Here's the message:<br><br><div class="postbody" style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
All,<br>
Due to overwhelming response to hold the National Homebrew Competition
1st round in the Longmont area this year, we have decided it will be
held at the new Oskar Blues taproom/brewery on April 25, 2009. We will
most likely also need to judge a flight or 2 of beers Friday night,
April 24th, however that judging will be held in the Denver area.<br>
<br>
This is the official notice to mark your calendars and to volunteer to either judge or steward for this event.<br>
<br>
I will be working with hotels in the Longmont area to try to get us all
a special room rate up there for the weekend of 4/25 so as soon as I
have additional information on that, I will get it out to everyone. I
will also be putting together a flyer to include the details for the
4/25 day of judging.<br>
<br>
Now is the time to submit your names for volunteering to either judge
or steward on 4/25 (and if you can also help on 4/24 in the evening in
Denver).<br>
<br>
If you are interested in being a steward for the NHC 1st round, please submit your name to Bernie Taillon (<a href="mailto:btaillon10@msn.com">btaillon10@msn.com</a>).<br>
<br>
If you are interested in being a judge for the NHC 1st round, please
submit your name to Scott Jackson (<a href="mailto:snowtiger87@comcast.net">snowtiger87@comcast.net</a>).<br>
<br>
We are anticipating as many entries in the NHC 1st round for our region
as we had last year (approx. 700), so we will need quite a few judges
& stewards to make this event successful!<br>
<br>
Speaking of that, please share this with as many homebrew judges,
volunteers, etc that you know so we can be sure it gets out to all the
local clubs!<br>
<br>
I hope to see you all there!! Cheers!!<br>
