May Meeting, Club Election Info, and Competition Updates
Hello Brew Bombers!
Our next meeting is at Devil May Care Brewing on Tuesday May 6th at 7pm. As usual, show up a bit early to have a pint or two and socialize before things get started.
The guys from Grain to Glass will be doing an “Introduction to Kegging” presentation/demonstration. If you’re bottle conditioning your brews and have been considering making the leap to kegs, then you won’t want to miss this meeting!
Big Brew 2025:
Adrian’s Coffee Porter “Grimmer Jitters” is available on tap at TCB. Head down there and grab a pint before it’s all gone!
2025-2026 Executive Election:
It’s the time of year when we start asking members to consider putting their name in the hat for the club executive positions. It’s important that we regularly change up club leadership because as we grow and our member base changes, what our members care about also changes. By having members like you step up and play a greater role in club operations, we make sure that the people running the club are in touch with the membership and understand what matters to them.
The election will take place in-person during the AGM meeting in June – there will be no online voting.
Below are the elected executive positions and their associated responsibilities. Also remember that club executives get their membership fee waived for the year they hold their position! If you are interested, email the President with the position you would like to run for and a brief write up about your ideas/goals for the upcoming year.
