[kpmiller]

Great when are you all arriving ? we should be there around Thursday lunchtime. So what is the previous beermountain record ?

[calypsoelise]

we only got to 750 last year and www.beermountain.com have said if we get 2000 then that will set the bench mark.. someones done 1200 odd in previous years... as yet we've found no one near 2000 so beermountain have agreed this will be a record... until someone else beats it anyway... challenge anyone...??

Sorry guys, these are all feeble attempts in comparison to our group a few years ago...I think we had in excess of 4800 bottles in our pyramid which did not include the wine, champagne and Port bottles!
Two visits to the super market and two pallets later!

I can back up Mark B's story although from memory he fell asleep and had to be woken up by setting bangers off between his toes
