I think the facebook angle is a good way to go. If you only direct people to the website then they may visit once and forget about it after that. If they "like" the facebook page then fortnightly/monthly messages and links can be posted which will appear to everyone who likes the page. It will also be extremely easy to find your way to beoir.org from the facebook page. I know a bit about how the facebook pages and all that anyway if you want someone to help out with it?

Anyway, good news: we have a proper Facebook URL:
<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="www.facebook.com/BeoirOrg">www.facebook.com/BeoirOrg
Find us, Like us, Poke us (do kids "poke" any more? They used to in my day) there.

There goes my ''smart'' free pint membership plan. <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->

Anyway, membership paid and I would be glad to help the ''cervejeiros'' here like I did at home in Brazil.

Cheers.

Also, I recall at Septemberfest 2010 the stall holders being glad that some of our lot were available to pitch in at their bars when things got busy, so you might get the chance to serve the odd pint if you make yourself available.

I was just kidding. I will be glad to help and interact with the Irish brewers/consumers (with or without free'' barley juice'') <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> .
