Re: AASCA - 2008 Victorian Barista Championships

Ill be there all weekend watching, cheering and doing "stuff" to help-out too. Really looking forward to seeing the performance of the regulars and new guys n gals.

Oh, yeah, Ill also be dealing 200kg of beans from the back of the Fiat to 30+ CSrs between 10am and 10:30am on Saturday so we know there should be a great CS cheersquad for the heats on at least Saturday.

Re: AASCA - 2008 Victorian Barista Championships

For those of you who could not make it to the info night, i am sorry because you missed out on a great night. The 30 strong had the chance to listen to Justin Metcalf, David Makin, Con Haramabopoulos & Luca Costanzo give their thoughts on competitions in the various categories. It was awesome to see so many new faces and all bodes well for Specialty Coffee in Victoria. Looks like the Vics are going to be a real cracker.

Just remember that if you are interested in competing or helping out get in contact with your ASSCA representative TODAY!!!!!
