Society Chapters?

[Whiskey Pilgrim]

Kaixo/Hola,
Have you guys made provision in your rule book for the evangecical Irish whiskey- jihad aspect.I would like to turn my small but hard core club the Hibernian Whiskey Society into the first Spanish chapter of the Irish Whiskey Society??How about a dispora whiskey-geese set up kit,its a bit like Religion of Pyramid selling..(no disrespect intended,tonge in cheek attitude)its all about numbers..and the quicker we set up whiskey temples or priorys or clubs,lodges & cells the quicker we can spread the word.........
Or do i have the clubs permission to set up the I.W.S. Basque club???

Your right on there, things seem to be moving all swiftly in Dublin and as soon as the first Chapter is set up outside Ireland it will be a proper start to spreading the word.

On an off topic note Whiskey Pilgrim, a friend of yours was in the Celtic Whiskey Shop the other purchasing a whiskey for you (sorry if this was meant to be a surprise, but i wont tell you what whiskey!) i believe another friend is bringing it over to you shortly, anyway prior to your friend arriving, one of the Cooley guys was in and dropped in some samples of the new Connemara Sherry Finish, so i have given your friend a 5cl bottle to bring over to you, enjoy!

I too have looked into the possibility of setting up a branch in Galway. I think it will take me much longer as I don't have a group to work off. If you have spanish speaking members feel free to open a spanish thread

The Wicklow branch meets in the Leitrim the odd Saturday at 3am if anyone's interested!

Sounds great, I have the odd local meet myself in the kitchen at about the same time. By the way with regards to the regular society membership, is it just by cheque, or can you pay by postal order or bank draft?

Definitely something the Society wishes to promote, the priority in year one is to get the IWS established.
Possibilities for 2010 are international membership at a reduced fee (committee will discuss this). Still lots of ideas on the table, and your own input would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime you would be more than welcome to organise your own group (which I think you do informally anyway) and be ready for 'official recognition' what the time comes.

AFAIK you were enthusiastic about the IWS recommended whisky pubs idea.
