We’re having a makeover

Friday, January 18th, 2013

The SCAE UK Chapter team has been working hard behind the scenes to organise the 2013 UK Coffee Events.

A major part of our focus over the past few months has been to make the SCAE UK and UK Coffee Events more accessible.

To help give you a voice, we have created 2 new Facebook pages

UK Coffee Events

We will be retiring the existing UK Barista Championships page at the end of January 2013.

With the first event of the 2013 competition season rapidly approaching we are pleased to unveil our new suite of UK Coffee Events logos.

UK Coffee Events sets apart the competitions and events from the focus of the SCAE UK Chapter which is trade and consumer education and to create awareness of speciality coffee in the UK.

Message from the outgoing National Coordinator Kenneth Cooper

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

A message from the outgoing National Coordinator of the SCAE UK Chapter, Kenneth Cooper,

“The time has come for me to welcome Lynsey Harley as the new national coordinator of the United Kingdom Chapter of the SCAE.

I stood down as the NC after two great years because of business reasons.

One of the great things about being the national coordinator was meeting many members of the Chapter. Of course the most profiled event for the chapter during my tenure was the world competitions held in 2010 at Caffe Culture.

I must thank the members past and present of UKBC committee whose unpaid work is amazing.

I am sure the present committee will be a great help to Lynsey who has many ideas for the forthcoming 2 years in education and training, as well as publicity of the chapter.

I wish Lynsey best wishes in her additional role, and look forward to seeing members at various events. I ask that all members talk about the SCAE and recruit new members which as we all know is the life blood of the association.”

On behalf of the SCAE UK Chapter we would like to wish Kenneth well and we look forward to his guidance over the coming months during the remaining UKBC 2012 events.
