Bring two to three bottles of a pale ale and let the plethora of pale tasting proceed.

THIS SATURDAY (April 18th)
Robin and Leon’s Brewery

To celebrate the start of 2009, let’s get together next Saturday night, January 17th.

The annual Holiday Party will commence at 6 PM, at the Riverdale Grange Hall. The Holiday Party is the time to kick off the New Year by setting the agenda for 2009.

To that end the following activities are planned:

  • The White Elephant Gift Exchange – Here’s your chance to trade off one of your least favorite Christmas gifts for the chance at something better. Just bring a gift and register at the door. Loads of fun!\
  • Raffle – Bring a couple of extra bucks and your friend with the longest arms.
  • New Members – great time to bring in new friends to join the club.
  • Annual survey – write down your ideas for activities for the coming year.
  • Time to pay your annual Dues
  • Update your contact information – we want to make sure that we can keep you informed of all club functions.
  • Club Elections – let us know if you have a nomination for office.

Please bring a dish to share, we will bring the beer.

Make sure all of your friends know about the party; we don’t want to miss anyone.

See you on Saturday,

Cheers,

Bob

Here’s the scoop on the Holiday Party.  As we did last year, the party formerly known as the Christmas Party will be moved to January.  This is necessary for a number of reasons the biggest being scheduling.  This will in no way diminish the fun and frivolity.

We plan to have the usual good eats, beer, of course, music, raffle, and the gift exchange.  You now have a method of trading off that not so great gift you got for Aunt Wilma for a chance at something much better.  Bring a gift with you, not too expensive, nice or funny to take part in the fun.  You will enjoy watching the hoping and scheming and surprise that goes on. We will endeavor to get Santa back from his post-Christmas vacation to officiate the proceedings.

This is also the official election of officers.  Bring your ideas for next year’s activities.  We need some folks to take the lead on organizing some of the outings (i.e. golf, picnic, trips).   This is a great time to bring in new members.

More details to come.

We all hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year,

Bob, Gregg, Lisa, Frank, Brian, Carl, Dan, Rochelle, boB, Wolf, Robin, Donna, and Matt

PS Make sure all of your friends know.  We are still working out the email problems.

Hi all,

Yes, we are still in business; we haven’t been hiding just busy.

This next Friday, October 3rd, 5:30 PM, at the new brewery, we will renew the “First Friday” get together.  We will have beers to drink (it is a beer club after all), some finger food and lots of good conversation.  Just bring your fine self down to the top of Trask Street off the green belt for a good time.

Party season will soon be upon us so remember to watch for updates on club activities.

Hope to see you all on Friday,

Cheers,

Bob
