December 2003 Meeting Minutes

The December meeting was the Christmas Party – December 20 – 5 pm to 10 pm - Oxford Hunt Clubhouse

Christmas Party

The Christmas Party was held on December 20. 

Many thanks from the club to Mike Weiss for setting up the event, and to Dave Buning and Jim Brewer for their assistance.  The party was a great time of camaraderie and of sampling many awesome beers.

Superbowl Party – February 1

Steve Murphrey has once again graciously offered to host the fantastic Superbowl Party.  If you need a map, go here

Bring some homebrew, wine, or mead.  Also bring a dish for everyone to sample.  It always turns out to be an awesome spread!

Here is a note from Steve about the party:
It's time to get ready for the annual CARBOY Super Bowl Party at my house, so mark Sunday, February 1 as "reserved" on your calendars. This party is a family affair, so spouses and children are encouraged to attend. Please arrive any time after 4:00 PM. It will be "pot luck" style, so please bring some kind of food that you like and want to share. There should also be some
good home brew to sample and please bring beer/wine/mead along with an idea of the recipe in case someone wanted to make the beer. So please RSVP (swmurph@attglobal.net) with how many people are in your party.

Driving instructions: I live in Wake County, just a couple of miles south of Cary.
1.. Find your way to Ten Ten Road by one of the following routes:
a.. Head south on Holly Springs Road (aka Walnut Street, in Cary), and turn left (east) onto 1010.
b.. Head south on Kildare Farm Road, and turn left (east) onto 1010.
c.. Head south on Lake Wheeler Road, and turn right (west) onto 1010.
d.. Head south on US 401 (aka Fayetteville Road), and turn right (west) onto 1010.
e.. Follow 42 West from Clayton, turn right onto Cleveland School Road (just after you pass I40), and then turn left onto 1010 (there's a gas station and a very old building on the corner).
2.. Turn south onto Bells Lake Road (traffic light, if you turn the wrong way you'll be on Graham Newton Road).
3.. Go about 1 mile to Old Sturbridge Drive. My house is on the southwest corner (the one with all the kegs of beer on the porch).
