Jack's right -- I've been doing nametags, but both nametags and member
cards are waiting on the member list. I'm going to try to take care
of that today, assuming I have the proper logins.
I'm happy to give pins out. I find club competitions a little tricky,
since they're not really rewarding enough to do a special brew. We
have a lot of pins, as you noted, so maybe we could just start doing a
best-of-meeting award like STB does? I think they just use a show of
hands.
The removal from the barrel needs to wait until we have a new beer to
go in -- it can't wait empty for more than a week or so.
I did leave the sign-in sheet on top of the blue box that Sue brought,
in hopes it would be obvious! But a checklist is a good idea. Can
you write something like that up in the google drive folder, and bring
it to the next meeting? I'll also print more sign-in sheets (this
month was the last one).
Good to hear meetings are going quickly. I'm not especially aware of
time while I'm up there :)
