Hello!
As discussed at the last meeting we would really like to do a luau/party. This thread is for planning and suggestions to make it happen.
Purpose: A fun time! Nothing structured and merely a hang out to socialize and eat, drink and be merry.
Date: TBD but aiming for August/September dependant on host availability and member availability
Location: TBD, looking for somebody willing to host in their backyard. We would try to have the group providing most of the needed items so it should be quite simple and hopefully not very intrusive or work heavy on the part of the host. Denny had offered but in unable to host so we are still looking for a volunteer. Ideally the 2 major needed items would be access to bathroom(s) and a BBQ.
Food: We'd be asking all attendees to bring a potluck item or two to ensure we are all properly fed. Additionally we need to sort out a main course "meat" to serve everyone either supplied by a few members or a pitch in to pay for it. Obviously to be discussed.
Drink: Anyone able to offer a keg for draft service would be great. Additionally we could do some growlers/large bottles for sharing.
Attendance: Obviously we're hoping all members can attend as well as significant others and/or anyone who you might like to bring as a guest who may enjoy meeting home brewers and drinking some homebrew. Additional attendee would only really result in us asking for a bit more food to ensure we have enough. Total attendance to be also discussed and if there is a cap on how many people you can bring with you (as to not overrun the hosts location).
Shelter: We might be looking for a few of those outdoor popup shelters if anyone has one that they could bring to shield us from rain/sun. Please let us know if yo have one to bring.
Transportation: Obviously we are hoping all will arrange either a DD or someone to pick you up. Carpooling is also a great option.
So thats generally the outline. please chime in with suggestions and thoughts so we can get this rolling.
Thanks,
Stephen
