Starting 6:30pm at B3

Style Talk: Ciders and Meads (BJCP 24-28)
Presented by: TBA

Tech Talk: The Road to All Grain: New Equipment for All Grain
Presented by: TBA

Both DOZE and B3 are growing by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, this means that we are quickly outgrowing the space that B3 can provide us for meetings just as B3 needs to expand into the space we’ve been using. DoctorScot has been checking out some of the local options and Jason Maineri has offered use of the clubhouse in his complex. It seems like a good space, and has affordable insurance rates to cover our consumption of alcoholic beverages. The downside is they are booked on Monday nights (BINGO anyone?).

I’ve setup a quick survey, and if you could take a few seconds to check your schedule and vote on alternate meeting times, it would be a huge help. I’ll tally the results and bring the totals to the April meeting. Feel free to drop me a mail if you’ve got any questions or related suggestions.

DOZE Meeting Survey

Just got an update on NHC entry numbers… at last count DOZE has 29 members submitting 180+ entries for nearly 30% of the total regional entries.

DOZE is definitely set to bring it strong!  Way to go everyone!
