Showing my ignorance here but what actually happens at a case swap?

you bring and swap up to 24 beers with others. so you come with 24 beers preferably from one batch but doesnt have to be. we then spend the day drinking and socialising and if there are 24 people in the swap you go home with 23 beers from other and one of your own.
its a great way to increase the diversity of the beers you try and also get a chance to meet and catch up with other home brewers.

Sounds pretty good to me. Don't mind a bit of diversity myself. Can't confirm attendance yet though.

dont worry im in the same boat atm. got to decide whats more important, the nieces bday or me drinking? or is it what i can get away with? im sure if your not attending we can find someone local to take your beers up and back.

Sorry Barls, I'm going to have to "regretfully decline" this time around. If you are struggling for numbers and would like to work something out then PM me and I'll see if I can arrange to get some beers up there.
