(Chuck Cox) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 5 Jan 1996 07:29:21 +0000 From: "Bill Giffin" Subject: Bank account and incorporation Top of the morning to ye all, Dennis said: >The formal bank account can't come until we get a tax >number which is when we get incorporated. Sadly enough this is not true with just a little fore thought and planning we could have had a bank account in the name of the BJCP without having to put at risk an individual's tax status,nor would it have to be incorporated. I agree with Jay it is time to get on with the program. Why have we been re-inventing the wheel when in any good lawyer's form book you will find the by-laws for a tax exempt organization? All you have to do is to fill in the blanks, fill out the form for the IRS send in your money and wonders of wonders you wind up being tax exempt. Filling in the blanks and filling out the form for the IRS takes between 16 and 20 hours by someone who knows what they are doing. I wonder what kind of professional help that the board has received? It has been all most a year since the break of the AHA from the BJCP and we still have no direction. We have no corporation. We have no bank account. But we have more administrators and board members then it takes to run a fairly large town maybe even a small city, yet nothing truly has been accomplished, at least nothing that we can reach out and touch. It is time to get off the dime and get something done!! March is too far away. We should at least get a bank account for the organization. To get a tax id number all that would be have to be done is to form a simple trust with the sole purpose of holding the BJCP's monies. The trust would file for the FIN. I know that all of you on the board have spent a lot of time in your positions and worked very hard but if you only dig holes then fill them back in that is not very productive. Now is the time to get thejob done.

Full competition rules, style guidelines, entry registration and bottle label forms, and judge and steward registration forms and information can be found on the Boston Wort Processor's WortPage at http://www.rsi.com/wort/. Folks without WWW access can request that hard copies of the forms be mailed (or ASCII versions emailed) to them by contacting Dan Hall at hall at buffa.enet.dec.com or (603) 884-5879. CIDER MAKERS! The 1996 BHC now accepts your cider entries. Many of the same folks who judge cider at the AHA National competition (including cider guru Paul Correnty) will be judging the cider category at the BHC. This is a great way to get quality feedback about your ciders at less than half the cost of the AHA National competition. The 1996 BHC is registered with the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) and will be hosted by Commonwealth Brewing Company, Boston's oldest brewpub. The competition organizers promise a professionally run competition with timely feedback for all entries. All entries will be judged by BJCP Recognized, Certified, National or Master judges and supervised apprentices under BJCP competition standards, rules and regulations. In addition to the first, second and third place winners in each category, a grand prize will be given to the competition's highest rated beer judged in a Best-Of-Show panel. Results of the BHC (with the exception of cider entries, this year) will also count towards the New England Homebrewer of the Year (NEHBOTY) competition. ****COMPETITION RULES AND ENTRY INFORMATION**** Anyone may enter, but entries must have been brewed at home not using a commercial operation. Entry fee is $5.00 per entry ($4.00 per entry if entering five or more beers.) Brewers may enter more than one beer per category, but only one beer per sub-category is allowed, and only one winning beer in each category will count towards NEHBOTY. Checks or money orders for entry fees should be made out to The Boston Wort Processors. Brewers must submit three (3) qualified bottles for each entry. Qualified bottles must be 10 to 16 ounces, any style, with no raised glass lettering, silkscreening, labels or other distinguishing marks or characteristics. Caps must be plain or blacked out. The deadline for entries is Saturday, Febrewary 17, 1996. Late entries will neither be judged nor returned. Registration forms must be attached to each bottle with a rubber band. NO TAPE! Recipes are not necessary, but the competition organizers reserve the right to request a recipe after the competition. For return of beer evaluation forms, a self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) of appropriate size must be included with one postage stamp for each entry. Ribbons will be awarded to all beers placing first, second and third provided the entries receive a score of at least 25 points. A special Best-of-Show ribbon and prize will also be awarded. Categories will be collapsed as necessary to comply with NEHBOTY rules and regulations and to facilitate judging. In all cases, judges will be given complete information to evaluate each beer to the proper style. All decisions of the contest organizers will be final.

It would seem worthwhile to pour a normal glass of beer for the several judges to observe, and then pour judging samples from the bottle or the poured glass. Is their a standard protocol?
