The SCASA Nationals will be operated and judged under the new WBC Rules and Regulations 2016.
To prepare you, and so there is a consistent understanding of the updates / rules, the
BGSA will be hosting workshops across the county to go through the changes and any other queries. Please bring along and pen and a copy of the updated WBC Rules and Regulations.
The confirmed dates, times and venues for each of the workshops are as follows :
CAPE TOWN : Wednesday 14 October, 17h00 (Ciro Training Centre) – facilitator : Ishan Natalie
JOHANNESBURG : Tuesday 20 October, 17h00 (Ciro Training Centre) – facilitator : Ishan Natalie
PORT ELIZABETH : Tuesday 27 October, 17h00 (Ciro Training Centre) – facilitator : Ishan Natalie
DURBAN : Wednesday 21 October, 17h00 (Colombo Tea & Coffee Co) – facilitator : Pauline Leschinsky
If you are a barista who ever intends to compete and if you are a coffee fanatic/professional who has aspirations of judging, you should definitely attend these workshops!
In the meantime, the BGSA recommends you read an awesome post by Matt Perger about the WBC 2016 Rules Shake Up, to start wrapping your heads around the changes :
