Hi Guys,
Long time no coffee based social network.
I just thought I'd keep you guys in the loop for the up and comming Barista jams which are happening in Bristol on the 29th October and Newcastle on the 26th November!
Quote: The UK section of SCAE together with Pumphrey’s Coffee and Beyond the Bean will be hosting Barista Jams for future budding barista champions. The jams will focus on all aspects of Barista Competitions, from roasting and blending to perfecting milk and espressos, and the all important WBC rule changes.
Following the impressive 10th place win (competing against 51 other countries) by Hugo Hercod the UK now needs to get behind the 2009 UKBC, to compete in Atlanta, Georgia next April. The jam’s are a great place to start! Leading industry speakers will be on hand to lead the workshops throughout the day.
Places are limited to 25 per jam and can be booked as follows -
Please send a cheque for £25, payable to 'SCAE UK' to:
Bristol: Helen Ostle, Beyond the Bean Ltd, Unit 6, Cala Trading Estate, Ashton Vale Road, Ashton Vale, Bristol, BS32HA before Friday 20th October or email helen@beyondthebean.com for further information
Newcastle: Stuart Lee Archer, Pumphreys, Bridge Street, Blaydon Tyne & Wear, NE21 4JJ by 25th November or email stuartlee.archer@pumphreys-coffee.co.uk for further information.
