Final Revision of changes to the COC/BR

Post by BrotherhoodBrew »

This is also included into this months newsletter but I wanted to create a post here so people can post any feedback or concerns with these changes. If too many concerns come up before the April meeting we may have to shelve this idea until next year. If you have any feedback please post it as early as possible and this change will be voted on in the April meeting.
Folks, the COC committee has worked on the details of COC and Lone Star Circuit awards, to be presented to the membership. I extend our apologies for not having this presented at the February meeting as originally planned. We were able to meet three times and come to a consensus on what we think the club should do.

The committee recommends that the COC/BR remain unchanged. We recommend this for several reasons. First and foremost, the COC supports the AHA, and affords members a chance to enter qualifying entries into the AHA National competition, and adds the possibility of the club to be recognized as AHA Club of the Year. This would be a great honor for both the members and club. Secondary to these reasons are having a format, which afford members to compete in a smaller, more intimate competition. For several reasons many club members would enter the COC, and not many the Lone Star competitions. Keeping the COC as is, allows all members a chance to compete for a coveted award, with rewards for their efforts.

The committee recommends that awards for the COC/Brewer Royale remain unchanged. The new traveling trophy (currently awarded to Damon Lewis) would be passed to the new Brewer Royal yearly, with their name added to the trophy. The current certificate awards would also continue to be used for first, second, and third places, and the current monetary awards would remain in place also.

The committee recommends the members should be recognized and awarded for their efforts in the Lone Star Circuit. Members entering the LSC competitions will compete separately for a second set of awards. The new set of trophy and monetary awards are to be created for participation in the Lone Star Circuit. We recommend that the awards would be presented to the club brewers or teams with the most accumulated points in the Lone Star Circuit. These would be the top 3 LSC points earning teams or individuals who are NHBA members, and who entered the LSC as NTHBA members. We recommend a new Traveling trophy for first place (like COC), and keeper trophies for first, second, and third place. We also recommend monetary awards for first, second, and third place winners in the amounts of $150, $100, and $50, to offset the entry costs associated with competing in the Lone Star Circuit.

In the event of a tie in either the COC or LSC, the current system of number of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place entries will be used to determine the winner.

These are the committee recommendations. We are presenting them to the membership in this month’s newsletter for the membership to consider, and want to finalize this with a club vote in the April club meeting.

If any of this is objectionable, and further consideration is required, we may not be able to finalize. Please bring any objections or concerns to the club officers or committee as soon as possible. Committee members are Orlando Guerra, Fred David, Walter Hodges, Einar Jonsson, Kelly Harris, Don Trotter, Randall Woodman, Damon Lewis, and Mike Grover.

Okay folks, WE ROCK! Let’s win the Bluebonnet and get this thing started.
