2010 AASCA National Championships - Jan 29-31

[Andy]

I just had a look at the Gold Coast Food and Wine website to see what they had up on there for the 2010 AASCA comps. Apart from an annoying flash site that you cannot link directly to I did find a schedule (which is good) and a promo pic (which was bad)

I assume ALL competitors will be able to pour better than promo picture. (after shaking my head a few times, I did laugh though)

So cmon, hands-up which of you canetoads poured this one?

Dan, I just emailed AASCA and told them Im coming up to volunteer if they want me. My plan is to fly into BNE and drive down Thursday evening and probably head back to BNE on Monday for work.

Not sure I can take stage managing off your hands but ill give it a crack!

Ill be there as a spectator only - Ill probably go on the Sunday for the finals, but open to suggestions if any other spectator snobbers are going along for a look.

Cheers
Di

PS - is there anywhere where I can register as a spectator before the event, does anyone know, or do you just turn up on the day and buy an entry on the spot?

SOme great baristas in the open lineup - this would be a great series of events to watch as a lead up to the pre-qualified event.

Best of luck to all the competitors - I hope the Qld weather is kind (just as well this event is not in Perth this year as we are having a scorcher this week!)
