[FCBrewClub] 12 Annual 8 Seconds of Froth-Judges, Stewards & Entrants

[WindyWY at aol.com]

Potential judges, stewards and helpers and contestants:

I've received sign-up sheets/emails from several of you. I believe I have 
sent a confirmation to all emails received to date.

As a reminder, the judging for this year's High Plains Drafters, 12th Annual 
8 Seconds of Froth, homebrew competition will be on Saturday, May 13th.  This 
year's competition will be held at the same location as last year, the 
Cheyenne Country Club, 800 Stinner Rd in Cheyenne. (Detailed directions will be 
provided to those who sign up.)

We plan to start judging at 9:30 am, so plan to arrive by at least 9:00 am to 
get signed in and receive your judging/stewarding assignments.  The first 
session will go from 9:30 am to about 12:00 noon.  The afternoon session goes 
from 1:00 pm to about 3:30 pm.  Best of show judging will immediately follow, and 
winners will be announced at the conclusion of that judging.

Lunch will be provided for judges and stewards.  This is our club treat and 
thank you for everyone who's travelling into Cheyenne from out of town to help 
us with our competition.   In addition to the a table of donated prizes for 
winners, there will be several drawings for door prizes for our judges and 
stewards at this year's competition.

For those that haven't sent in a sign up sheet or email, would you please 
confirm your desire to participate by emailing or sending me the following 
information as soon as possible:

Name, address, email address, phone #, BJCP # and/or judging experience, 
availability (am &/or pm), beer/mead styles you plan to enter in the competition 
and, therefore, cannot judge, (if you desire--also list the styles you prefer 
to judge or prefer not to judge--we'll try to accomodate your desires.)

I know that everyone has busy schedules.  Therefore, I plan to keep the 
judging/stewarding sign-up open until the day of the competition (if you show up 
we'll find a place for you).  However, I plan to start assigning judges and 
stewards for the individual sessions on Sunday, May 7th and we need to make 
arrangements for lunch.  If you think you can participate, please sign-up--you can 
always let me know if your plans change.  Everyone is welcome to help and if we 
have novice judges who would like to participate, we'll pair you up with a 
couple more experienced judges so that you can get some experience.

This emailing is going out to everyone who has already signed up or expressed 
an interest, who judged last year, or is on the Front Range portion of the 
BJCP judge listing. Many of you might get duplicate mailings because I'm also 
sending this emailing to several of the Front Range homebrew club email groups.  
 Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone else who you think 
might be interested.

One final comment, we're accepting entries for this competiton until 5:30 pm 
on Friday, May 5th at Depot St Merchants in Cheyenne.  Be sure to provide the 
name of your homebrew club because this year we are also awarding a special 
Ace of Clubs trophy the   Front Range Homebrew Club whoich accumulates the most
