The promoted title “Brews with BVARC” leans toward making it a de facto, sanctioned event, and this doesn't sit well with some folks.By W5RH. Sent from my i-Thingamajig On Oct 9, 2023, at 11:48 AM, N5LNK - Sean Linkenheimer via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote:
Philippe, Thank you I had no idea this was a concern for some. A few years back I was required to be certified with TABC for the The Katy Rice Harvest Festival. I am a Past Grand Knight and former District Deputy of the Knights of Columbus and our council 6950 served beer for the Rice Harvest Festival. Because our council was engaged in serving alcohol we had the responsibility to not serve patrons past the legal limit and were trained how to spot when someone was intoxicated. That being said, the Brews with BVARC event, although a gathering of members at an establishment that serves alcohol, is in no way the same as our club serving alcohol to members or the general public. I believe the club having a Brews with BVARC event in many ways is no different than any of the other membership gatherings; afterall it is about comradery. I have not read the clubs bylaws but if there was something governing this sort of gathering it would be found in the bylaws. In the past few weeks, I heard some members talk about the legal aspect of having events at the bar/brewery serving alcohol under the BVARC umbrella. Because of the nature of my job, working in the restaurant/Hotel industry, I have some contacts at TABC and ask who will be responsible if some members get intoxicated during a club event at the restaurant or bar. TABC clarifies that The restaurant/bar with TABC licenses that sells and serves alcohol to an intoxicated patron is responsible. I hope this helps. I hope you have a great week. ![]()
