The Christmas Party was a lot of hard work and our thanks go out to everyone involved in making it a rousing success! The party however, unearthed a new issue for the club.
As you may have heard, Hidden Creek has some issues in allowing FOSSILS to bring in homebrew. Being a homebrew club, this was a big issue. I am paraphrasing here, so some of the details will be glossed over. Hidden Creek had called the Seymour ATC office for understanding on what they were allowed to do and were advised that they could not allow us to bring in brew. Roger Baylor stepped in to help investigate the issue and similarly advised that the Local ATC interpretation of the Homebrew Statute does not allow for homebrew to be brought into a licensed ATC space (read: NABC and other places licensed to sell beer).
This flies directly against the original interpretation and the reason the statute was written and passed. Roger and others continue to investigate the issue, but as it stands, we cannot bring in homebrew to NABC without jeopardizing their license.
That is about all for now. I hope to see everyone on the 12th!
Cheers,
Joe Bray
Minister of DisInformation
