Re: 5 Paddles - Final BOTY Comp (Open)
You can send 2 bottles it says, but if you do, and they drank both already, then you won't be represented in the BOS round.

Mark, there's a category or two you missed! Were you slacking off over the summer? Quite an impressive lineup.

Thanks Keith but not a chance. I chat to Jared and the other's on Twitter regularly. He's on it!Keith wrote:Mark if all these beers place you may have a chance to take 1st if he doesn't enter due to the lead. GL

Limit of only five entries for this one. I'm sending in some new beers that need medals and some old ones that don't.

@Mark. Don't you have a bitter called "The Bitter End"? are you sending to this one? Be funny if it won the final comp.

Re: 5 Paddles - Final BOTY Comp (Open)
I didn't pack at the weekend. I was worried if I sent on Monday the beer might end up sitting in a warehouse somewhere on the veterans day holiday today (I am thinking of my Dad today who fought in WW2, missing him).
Any way! Today's a huge pack (deadline Friday) or I'll be up the creek without 5 paddles. Last BOTY comp ...The Bitter End.
