Thursday October 16th 2008 Regular Monthly Meeting from 6:30 to 9:00pm at Point Brewery Hospitality room. 

Topics for the night is the future use of the hospitality room for our club meetings.  We will be meeting with Point Brewery representatives and discusing contiued use of the meeting room.  The brewery pays someone to watch the room while we meet and has graciously waived any room rental fees in the past.  CWDB had in return had supplied volunteers to all Point Brewery sponsored events as our way of saying thank you.   Recently our volunteering has declined to almost no volunteer participation.   Additionally, budget restrictions in today's economical time has Point raising issues about our use of the room.  One option is to disband our club.  Members interested in contiuning an organized club are encouraged to attend this meeting.   

Once this topic of discusion concludes we will be have a judging/evaluation session using BJCP scoresheet and using a blind beer for tasting.  This will help prepare us for future evalutation of our Golden Growler beer entries to be club judges.  We will be discussing the upcoming Golden Growler style guidelines.  If your planning on participating in this years GG competition by either brewing or pre-juding please attend this meeting as it would benifit our clubs odds of winning.  Thanks to everyone who helps make CWDB's odds of winning a reality.  Better Brewers Make Better Beer.  

Remember meeting wrap up promptly at 9pm.  No loitering in the parking lot afterwards.
