			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>Welcome to 2012, will it be the last year of civilisation as we know it? Hopefully not as a year in and we&#8217;re really only just getting started!!</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>2011 was good for Scottish Bartending but its going to pale in comparison to whats happening in 2012, here&#8217;s a brief summary, more details to follow:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>WORLD CLASS 2012</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/reservewc2.jpg"><img title="ReserveWC" src="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/reservewc2.jpg?w=240&#038;h=169" alt="" width="240" height="169" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://squaremeal.wufoo.eu/forms/diageo-reserve-brands-world-class-2012/http/true?utm_campaign=20120104_wc12&amp;utm_source=emailCampaign&amp;utm_medium=email">http://squaremeal.wufoo.eu/forms/diageo-reserve-brands-world-class-2012/http/true?utm_campaign=20120104_wc12&amp;utm_source=emailCampaign&amp;utm_medium=email</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>CAORUNN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/caorunn-logo.jpg"><img title="Caorunn Logo" src="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/caorunn-logo.jpg?w=204&#038;h=247" alt="" width="204" height="247" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Our good friends at Caorunn Gin are planning something MASSIVE for 2012, there will be heats going on as far afield as Australia to win a coveted place in the Grand Final here in Scotland against whichever one of you wins the home round!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>SLOANE&#8217;S DRY GIN COMPETITION</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">After the success of the SLOANE&#8217;S DRY GIN competition held in conjunction with &#8217;10 Dollar Shake&#8217; in Aberdeen last year we are delighted to announce there will be similar events in Edinburgh and Glasgow with the first one up held at &#8217;56 North&#8217; on the 20th of February, details to be confirmed asap!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>WHITLEY NEILL &#8216;LADIES DAY&#8217;</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/whitley-neill.jpg"><img title="Whitley Neill" src="http://scottishspb.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/whitley-neill.jpg?w=600&#038;h=430" alt="" width="600" height="430" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>&#8216;Whitley Neill Gin&#8217; are happy to sponsor our first &#8216;Ladies Only&#8217; Competition!</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We felt that often mixology competitions can become an extremely male dominated event so for this one they&#8217;re banned! Full details TBC</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>SCOTTISH FLAIR CHAMPIONSHIP</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Its been a few years since there was any big flair competitions in Scotland so this year we are going to bring it back with a bang!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There will be 2 levels:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Beginner (less than 2 years practise)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Professional (over 2 years practise)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>TO ENROLL FOR ANY OF THE COMPETITIONS MENTIONED HERE PLEASE FILL IN THIS SHORT FORM:</em></strong></p>
