Oh. Dolt. I often miss keyboard sarcasm without something obvious like an emoticon.

I notice your club is listed with the american homebrewers association. They have a committee that deals with club management. You might shoot them a note and see if they have an incite or at least can point you in the direction of a club that has had to deal with this type of thing before.

Not a club member (considering it) but don't you sign some sort of Code of Conduct or something when you join? Seems there would be an official policy/procedure to follow here.

Send him to my house on a brew day, when he says something inappropriate to my wife, I will knock him into next week.

That will give you a week to figure out what to do.

Im not a club guy, for just the same reasons you are having to ask for help, seems their is always 1 guy messing it up for everyone else.

I vote BOOT, you can't allow him to hit on or making rude comments to other members wife's, keep 1 member or lose several because of him? also the legal stuff too.

I would call a emergency meeting with the board members, discuss the problem and resolve, vote on it, that way its done the right way and over with soon.

Cheers

There has been some concern about liability expressed I this thread. Wisconsin Statute 125.035 states "A person is immune from civil liability arising out of the act of procuring alcohol beverages for or selling, dispensing or giving away alcohol beverages to another person."

The civil liability immunity does not apply to giving alcohol to minors.

Yes at the risk of a thread derail I would be honest about it. People will make up their own minds about it, but your ability to candidly discuss your past transgressions says a lot about you.

I don't think your question is too far from the topic. Tell them exactly what you said here if the question even comes up.

As for the law, it would be a cold and threadbare comfort to know that I contributed to the needless death of another, but couldn't be sued.

If you're hosting a party and someone has had too much to drink, you find him a driver, a place to sleep it off, or a cab ride home. If it ruins a friendship, that's on him.

I think an apology letter could go a long way to saving the reputation of the club. It shows you are aware of, and are actively going to prevent such activity during the next gathering of brew clubs. That being said, you've got to sit that lush down and let him know his actions were unacceptable, otherwise your apology letter is just words.

Aren't you all beating a dead horse ? It's all been said. Time to let this thread die.

Here is the "rule" on mentioning charges that have been squashed. A judge signed an order to not discuss it because it doesn't exist. Contempt of court would be talking about it. To anyone. I know from personal experience that sealed records are to stay that way. Sealed. Period.
