Wicked Sunday 2010

[greenman]

Im planning on heading over to Melbourne for the Food and Wine Festival and Wicked Sunday.
Is WS the last Sunday of the festival March 21st?
Theres so much new coffee action I want to check out and meeting heaps of CSers at Wicked Sunday would cap it off nicely.

Greenman,

Keep in mind there is also "The coffee experience" that Beanscene is putting together, or involved in. Not much info or industry hype about it yet, but it might be worth holding out for.

Check the beanscene website for a tiny little bit more information.

Hold your horses guys...

Wicked Sunday has been killed-off and the replacement event is a "ticketed entry" ($25 per head). Its an interesting idea and we are in discussions with the event commitee to see if we can make it work.

More news when it comes to hand.

Im sure you will have a blast anyway Greenman. With anyluck you can catch-up with a few CSrs from the east side while you are here.

Wicked Sunday was killed-off

The replacement event was also killed last week.

As I understand it... The company that was managing the venue had a BIG fallout with the council over a different issue and the council now wont approve the permits for this event.

So there is no coffee event in the Melbourne Food and Wine festival this year. Apparently roasters week is still going ahead and a few roasters will open their doors (often for a fee) but that is the only thing happening.

Id love to catch up with some Melburnian CSers while there, going to see the Eagles play the Roos 2pm on Sat 10th at Etihad, maybe a Sat morning coffee meetup somewhere close to CBD!!

Thats very disappointing. Last years event was huge, you would have thought it would just keep going year after year.

A CSer catchup close to the CBD sounds good...

Re: Wicked Sunday 2010

Andy,

if I could arrange some space for a day in and around one of the old sheds in Docklands (most likely gratis or a very very low cost) are you interested in doing something just as a CS roast and play day?

Why not in a shed at 59 Morgan st?
