The main focus of this network for Young IBD
Members in Scotland is to enthuse, excite and
encourage younger members to become actively
involved in the work of the IBD, act as a
study aid, create a focus after completing
exams, and eventually to provide a platform
for continued professional development. The
first event to introduce this initiative took
place on the 19th May in the North British
Distillery in
Edinburgh
,
Scotland
. A talk of the objectives and focus of the
IBD Young Members Initiative in
Scotland
and an outline of possible future events by
Michaela Miedl, Martin Polidano and Elliot
Darlington started off the proceedings. After
this a think-tank session was facilitated
among the 27 young IBD members in attendance
to gather opinions on what the Young Members
Initiative should provide for young people in
the Scottish brewing, distilling and related
industries.

The
IBD Young Members Committee in
Scotland
was able to source some valuable ideas from
this lively discussion. After this more
serious business the evening progressed with
beer and whisky kindly donated by North
British Distillery and a humorous pub quiz
with Professor Graham Stewart (ICBD) as the
quiz master. The meeting came to a close with
delicious buffet (also sponsored by North
British). This event was a great success with
a good turnout, lots of fun and a great
opportunity to meet colleagues under 35 from
brewing and distilling education and industry
in
Scotland
. The next event will be clay pigeon shooting
in East Lothian (date to be announced) and if
you are interested in attending (IBD members
and non-IBD members working in brewing and
distilling or related industries under 35
years of age are welcome!), or if you want to
contribute your ideas please contact your IBD
Young Members Network representatives in
Scotland.
