On Sunday 15th January 2012 Fix Coffee (http://www.fix-coffee.co.uk/) threw open their doors to UKBC entrants in what is becoming an annual event.

Last year the SCAE UK Chapter held a barista information day which was well received by entrants, and due to popular demand we ran a similar event for 2012.

San Remo provided a competition spec Verona TCS for the baristas to use. Union Hand Roasted supplied beans for those who were unable to bring their own.

Visitors from as far away as Russia, Germany and Scotland attended the event, with UKBC Scottish Heat competitor Mike Haggerton commenting on the UKBC Facebook page  “Huge thanks for Sunday’s event at Fix Coffee. Very much worth the effort to get there and meet other competitors, judges, San Remo sponsor, organisers etc. and absolutely invaluable time on the equipment. Well done “

We would like to publicly thank Sasha Rainey from Fix Coffee for allowing the SCAE UK Chapter to hold this informative session in their premises. Held during opening hours we attracted some attention from the regulars who even live-tweeted images and comments throughout the day.

The UKBC South East Heat is now less than 2 weeks away and all baristas who have registered so far should have received their practice, set-up,competition and brew bar appearance times. If you have not already received these please email denise@scaeuk.com for an update

There are still spaces and entry forms can be submitted right up until 25th January 2012 for all UKBC Heats
