support.  fun.
I'd kind of like to see a low-profile email or web based newsletter about once
every six months.  "Here's my favorite recipe" articles, tips, that sort of stuff.
Nothing fancy unless our numbers grow enormously.

participation and expertise.  Names & groups.  Info about upcoming brewing circles
& competitions.

That's a good question.  At the moment, _I'm_ the entire Glaslyn brewers guild.
I'm hoping to increase that number to 2 or 3 people ... someday.  If I get Steppes
involved, maybe more.   In the meantime, do we consider "guilds" like me to be
members at large, or guilds, or what?  ;>

Have a kingdom library.  Or at least a really good source list with suggestions on
where to find books/recipes/etc.  Sponsor more circles, tastings, competitions, &
classes.
