I know, I know. The alcohol is still on everyone's breath from the NHC but I thought I'd drop this reminder.

During the Homebrew Club Organization talk at the NHC, it was obvious that all the club leader present were just bursting at the seams with questions and great personal experience to share and the hour we had was nowhere near enough time. There was a suggestion to have a session at the next NHC (and probably should have it as an ongoing feature) set aside for the officers/leadership of all registered clubs to discuss focused issues.

I think we'll have a lot more success taking this online because there are probably way more club presidents out there that can't make it to NHC but hopefully do read these forums.

I think the idea to open up a club leadership sub forum is a great one. It may also be a good idea to pre-load it with some sticky threads of the obvious core issues clubs face.

Meeting Locations
Club Size Discussions
Mission/Goals
Competitions/BJCP
Social Events
Meeting Organization
Activities
Bylaws/Leadership Structure
Conflict Resolution

Just some ideas..

Probably want to add "insurance" to that list.  Seems there's been some lengthy discussions on insurance, incorporation, etc.

I was hoping somebody wouldn't notice that I hadn't gotten around to it yet!

And the link - for now it is a public child forum of the Homebrew Club section

But Drew...I can't imagine how that could be possible. 

Just wanna say that you did one hellava job in SD. A very, very great time was had by all in the hospitality suite.

Your a jolly good fella. Thanks!
