🍎 TRASH January Meeting: Wassailing & Cider Competition 🍻
Kick off the new year with apples, tradition, and a little friendly competition! Our January TRASH meeting will celebrate all things cider with a special wassailing talk and our TRASH Cider Competition
🍏 Guest Speaker:
We’ll be joined by **Mike from A Few Bad Apples**, who will share the history and rituals of **wassailing** — the age-old tradition of blessing apple trees and celebrating the cider harvest — along with insights into making great cider at home.
🍎 Cider Competition Details:
We’re thrilled to host our TRASH Cider Competition, judged by BJCP-certified judges

But even if you didn’t take part in the cider buy, **any homemade cider is welcome to enter — the more the merrier!
