CANCELLED

The February meeting will be held on the 24th at Kelly Raymond's home in Port Angeles. Her house is at 4017 S. Mt. Angeles road, about a mile past the ONP visiter center. Click here for directions.

The meeting will start at 6pm.

Kelly will be preparing some nice food for us, so come hungry. (and of course, thirsty) We are going to have a hop tea tasting, with 8-9 different varieties for folks to try. Kelly and I may have our "Bloody Malty" beer ready. We had some at the Strange Brewfest, and are attempting a clone. If you like bloody mary's, you should enjoy this.

A note from our new President:

The January meeting of the NOBG was a success!

Thank you to Colin and Lynne Smith for your hospitality and GREAT food! There were several new faces at the January meeting and we would like to thank all newcomers for your participation.

Elections were held at the meeting and the new officers of the NOBG are as follows:

President: Keith Barnett
Vice President: Colin Smith
Secretary: Mic Sager

As the new president I would like to thank Mic for his past year of service to the club. I will be sending out an announcement on my ideas and hopes for the club in the upcoming year very soon. Any input from members about events, competitions and any ideas about making our club better would be greatly appreciated.

Also at the January meeting the Port Angeles Association of Realtors(PAAR) presented the club with a new banner. It was presented to us as a thank you for the club’s participation in the PAAR Octoberfest this past year. The banner was presented to the club by PAAR past President Dick Pilling. The club hopes to make this an annual event with the PAAR to help raise money for various community charities.

The February Meeting will be held at the home of one of our newest members, Kelly Raymond. (Details to follow soon)

Lastly I would like to thank all members of NOBG for their participation in the club events over the past year. 2011 will be a year of fun and events and we will look forward to seeing members new and old joining in for some good times and great homebrews.

Thank You,

Keith Barnett
