How does the constitution prevent Diageo loading the organisation with marketing employees and block voting to align the constitution with the Diageo marketing strategy ? Disclosure of interest requirement ?

I'll sign up anyway. Even if nothing new was being set up I feel I owe a donation to the maintenance of the website. Edit: I did buy a couple of teeshirts a while back so presumably that helps too.

Fantastic idea! And much needed. You can certainly count me in. If there are any general tasks that need doing, I'd be happy to help out in any way I can. Best of luck!

I think it would be a beautiful thing if that happened, though. I'm writing the press release in my head right now.

A great idea.

Is the limit of 20,000 litres a little low though? Even a small brewery could do more than that if busy. For example, Trouble's set up (when it is eventually running...) could do that brewing only twice a month. This rules out The Porterhouse, Carlow and most of the Northern brewers too.

That should be hectolitres. It's the government definition of a microbrewery.

The figure looked familiar alright. It's a huge volume for a micro. I remember speaking to Oliver of the Porterhouse about it. He said they are nowhere near it and won't be.
