My Homebrew Club Died

[Dunerunner]

Because I quit being the entertainment committee!

I got tired of being the only one who contributed to the monthly news letter, the only one who hosted a brew day, the only one who organized and planned a club meeting and after 3 1/2 years I quit.

As a result, the club died!!

There are three brewers who have a genuine interest in brewing who still come around on brew day, but the others have reverted back to what ever they did before I started the club.

Happens all too often, Henny Penny.

 

[Beerrific]

You and the three should start your own.

You and the three should start your own.

Yea! You'd probably have to do the newsletter and organize the meetings though. And it looks like you already plan the brew day... Oh, wait...

 

[Pappers_]

Sorry to hear it.

 

[Homercidal]

This is one reason why I have not tried to start a club. I don't want to do all the work, and I think most people would be "casual" club members, if you know what I mean.

Maybe when the kids are out of the house.

To bad, maybe in the future someone else will step up and help tow the line.

I wish I lived closer to a club, currently I have one 1 hour away and timing isn't working at this point for me to attend.

Who needs a club? Just get together with your three buddies and brew. I do belong to a local club, but quite frankly, I don't get together with any of those people away from meetings, and if it folded, I would just continue on with my brewing....

 

[IrregularPulse]

I agree with Bernie. F a club, just brew with the other guys.

 

[Airborneguy]

I agree with the guys above me. You don't NEED a club for anything, enjoy your hobby with the friends who brew more often. I have a ton of clubs to choose from, and I've come to enjoy my laid back, relaxed "club" more than anything else I've seen. We're more of a group of brewing friends than anything else.

If we were closer, I would be down.

My buddy and I are thinking of hosting a Homebrew 'competition 4 fun' this next summer.
he has some land outside crabtree that would be perfect for parking/event.

perhaps doing a 2day event with a barbecue ribs competition too. (harder to start I would assume)

Bones and Brew 2012
First year of an annual event.
