First Meeting of the 2019/2020 Season!

Hi Everyone!

Our first meeting will be 7pm, Tuesday September 10th at Half Pints Brewing Company, 550 Roseberry St.

Remember to bring $40 cash to cover your club registration fee. This covers your ingredients for the club brew, and your steak at the season windup meeting.

We’ll be giving everyone a general overview of the season ahead of us, including:
-Planned future meeting topics
-Club kit style
-Open style club competition (start brewing soon!)

Food groups will be assigned after our first meeting so feel free to bring food if you will want a snack.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Windup BBQ – Half Pints @ 7pm – 9pm

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that the windup is this coming Tuesday (June 4th). It’s hosted at Half Pints once again. I’ve talked with several members and it sounds like we’re going to have some great home brews in attendance. The club executive have also brewed a couple kegs as well.

Remember to bring a chair! Or you’ll be standing most of the night.

It’s been a great season and it has flown by really fast. I’ve learned a lot of things along the way and will be staying on as President to continue this journey. 🙂

Sean Richens has decided to step down as Vice President so we’ll be holding an election to fill both the Vice President and the Secretary positions. So if anyone would like to step up and take on those roles raise your hands at the BBQ.

And remember, get a ride, or take a cab. Great beer, great food, great people, and great times. We want everyone to be safe.

Email woes… Check your junk folders

Hey Everyone,

Hopefully we’re getting closer to getting this email delivery problem under wraps. With the new conversion to a real mailing list software (on top of all the other email settings changes) I hope we’re finally getting close to putting this one to bed.

It seems Gmail is happy with our email now, but hotmail may still be sending things to the junk mail folder. This is easily fixed by going into your hotmail/outlook settings and adding the domain “winnipegbrewbombers.ca” to the safe senders list. Also, you can add members email address to the Trusted mailing list section just below the safe senders. After that all our emails should land in your mailbox.

We’ll give this a go for awhile and see what happens.

Cheers!
Sean.

Club Meeting May 7th / Windup BBQ RSVP

Hey Everyone!

Just a quick reminder to everyone that our next meeting is May 7th and it will be at Oxus Brewing Co. I’ll send out the food groups as we get closer to the date (I don’t have the information on hand at the moment).

Wow how time flies by! Next up after May is our final meeting for the season, and everyone’s favourite! The windup BBQ! It will be held once again at Half Pints Brewing Co. and it will be the traditional potluck style dinner so everyone bring something tasty to eat.

IMPORTANT!! We’ll need everyone to RSVP by May 10th so that we know how many steaks to buy. (See link below to RSVP) You can still RSVP after that but you won’t be getting a steak

In order to RSVP, please click this link (REDACTED TO AVOID SPAM – Email the prez for the link if you didn’t get it already) and fill out the form. It’s just full name, email, steak opt-in/out, and what category of food item you’ll be bringing. We just want to make sure we cover all the bases. This is easier for me to track attendance and such rather than collecting each individual email reply.

Also, bring your home brew to share! The club executives are brewing a lager for the event as we speak. What will you bring? Don’t have anything? There’s still time to get a brew going. I look forward to trying everyone’s brew.

On that note, please make sure you get a ride, or call a taxi/ride-share, or get a designated driver. Let’s be safe.

Cheers,
Sean.
