It's all very confusing but the competition to crown the 2010 state barista champion of South Australia is set to take place mid september (yes, in 2009). Here's some info taken straight from the minutes of the last meeting:
"The SA state Barista Competition will be held at the RHAS Adelaide Show on Thursday the 10th of September with the Latte Art and Cupping being held on the 11th of September. We have been bumped from the Goyder Pavilion. The new location will be between the Goyder and Wayville Pavilions in the food court. This may not be ideal but is undercover and will get us maximum exposure and gives us 2 full days with no interruption."
Now a lot of things are yet to be confirmed but to get the rumour file cracking here's some 'too early to be released information'.
Judges:
Brian Raslan
Brian Lewis
Bill Comley
Craig Dickson
Remo Russo
Mario Macri
Ben Rosenthal
Richard Carman
Cameron Ballard
Alan Holroyd
Ian Callahan (That's me!)
Brad Nixon (still yet to confirm, but I'm badgering him!)
Prizes: Confirmed 2nd and 3rd place getters for the barista and latte art comp will something from the lovely greg pullman (at a guess I'd say one of his fantastic Tamps) and 2nd and 3rd in cupping will get something from Rio (at a guess I'd say some ACF cups). Also, expobar is rumoured to be supplying the 1st place prize so it's probably one of their prosumers but this is still yet to be confirmed.
So if there are any budding baristi out there who wanna step up, or if you want to come lend a hand, send me an email or better yet, contact Bill Comley direct on 0407 714 560.
I'll let you know as more developments occur
