With only 1 week to go until the UKBC kicks off for 2012 we have a healthy number of entrants so far but there is still room for more.

Although some heats are full we have reserve lists operating.

Most importantly though – we have not received any entrants for the Northern Ireland Heat on 20 March.

SCAE UK has committed to running the Northern Ireland heat in conjunction with the hosts Johnsons Coffee, who have stepped forward to host the heat. Please help spread the word to any baristas in this region that you know, who may be sitting on the fence wondering whether or not they should compete.

The decision to host a UKBC event in Northern Ireland was made on the back of feedback from the wider community stating that they missed the Northern Ireland heat and would like to see it happen again this year.
