Firstly, Karl Purdey is organizing this years 1 day judging accreditation workshop, and we’re looking for people to sign up. The workshop is both practical & theory based, and will cover both technical and sensory judging.
Details are yet to be finalized, but we are hoping to run the workshop on Saturday, Nov 3rd. The workshop will be free of charge for all SCAE members, and a fee of €50 will apply to non members to cover the cost of the workshop.
All previous judges must re-attend and successfully pass the workshop in order to be considered for judging this years Irish Barista Championship. Spaces for this years workshop are limited, so please contact Karl at Judging [at] SCAE.ie no later than the 22nd of October if you wish to participate.
We will also be looking for any and all able bodied volunteers to help with the running of the 2013 IBC, so if you’re interested, please let us know – It’s much appreciated!
Finally, we need locations! If you have a venue you feel would be suitable for this workshop and others quite similar, please let us know!
Thanks folks!
