People have been put off the whold process by the lack of transparency, which is what the scheme addresses. <BR/><BR/>Consider the scenario that you are working away and visit your local frequently over that period. Previously you would have no input into the GBG, even if the pub was the best in the country. The NBSS puts an end to one man and his dog picking pubs at random.<BR/><BR/>Scoring by beer or pub visit is only logical. If I stay in one pub for the evening, say, I'm not going to be messing about scoring 5 beers-I'm going to judge the beers overall. What CAMRA should do is make it compulsory so that all entries are chosen by the same system, instead of the mixed bag you have now.Sat In A Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123038980796000837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-65771267946389408552009-02-04T21:24:00.000+00:002009-02-04T21:24:00.000+00:00It's absolute bollocks. Sorry, Mark, I know you're...It's absolute bollocks. Sorry, Mark, I know you're trying hard in Northants to make a difference but NBSS is fatally flawed. Score per beer or per pub? With a mix, how do you then complie? How are the scores weighted? Can a CAMRA bod put hand on heart and tell me that the scores then make a real difference to who's in or out this year? <BR/><BR/>And how many of the c.970 Northants non-active members will be shagged to fill out a card and submit the results? <BR/><BR/>I'd rather CAMRA ditched the pretense and just carried on awarding GBG entries to their members / member's mates / whoever's turn it is this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387325466589229898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-89393051838994319612009-02-04T00:58:00.000+00:002009-02-04T00:58:00.000+00:00Someone needs to just create another organization....Someone needs to just create another organization.

It's the only way to have national consistency for the GBG and lets people from all over rate your local pubs.Sat In A Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123038980796000837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-89504037785924053832009-02-03T21:01:00.000+00:002009-02-03T21:01:00.000+00:00I didn't know it existed.I don't know if I will be...I didn't know it existed.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I will be using it though - I do find it hard to give a numerical rating to a pub, as experience can vary so much and I know I would end up giving better marks to pubs I like even if the beer was only so-so.Boakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657725007230709027noreply@blogger.com
