The Home Brew Festival 2017

[Robsta]

Normally we would start this in January but as we are opening the booking earlier this year and redoing all the bar related stuff for next year we need a good idea of what's coming our way.

The usual rules apply, just post what you are bringing and I shall update the list closing it a month before the festival incase we need to order any last minute bits.

All donations are VOLUNTARY and are not a condition of attending the festival, the choice is entirely down to you

Last year we had 130 gallons on the list but again we need more as more came last year than anticipated, however we were unable to put some on due to no information being provided or sediment being left in the container thus making the beer murky, please ensure BOTH of these things are taken care of before bringing your beer.

A newsletter will go out closer to the time with more details.

[Robsta]

Hi all some of you may have noticed that i have had to change your membership status to Registered Non Members this is down to an Error we found when memberships had ran out.

It would not let us go into the renew membership button.

I have only changed the ones that would have ran out before the festival dates this to enable you to renew you membership early so you can book your places and grab the offer for a free polo shirt we are down to 90 now so be quick as to not miss out.

As Non Registered members you will still receive the newsletters etc

Any Questions or Worries feel free to PM me.

If not see you at the festival :cheers1:

all best Robsta

Hi Alan
There is spots for caravans but the rugby club does not have electric hook ups as of yet.

There is a caravan site across the road which is quite good prices if you need electric.

Their website is below
Bosworth Caravan Park
http://www.bosworthcaravanpark.co.uk/ 
Address: The Gatehouse, Cadeby Ln, Market Bosworth, Nuneaton CV13 0BA
Phone: 01455 292259

If you went across the road you would only need a day pass which is £10 per person for the whole weekend.

Hope to see you there..

 

[AlanManley]

So on the forum is going? I've just signed up as a member and once I confirm if I'm free the Friday going to book to go for the weekend in the caravan. May be flying solo as the wife isn't really interested.

Would be good to meet a few more forum folk!
