The 2011 Maitland Aroma Festival is on 13 and 14 August. Following on from the success of 2010 a crowd of over 20,000 is expected. There will be a dedicated Coffee Marque which will hold a barista and latte art competition. Heats on Saturday and finals on Sunday. Both comps are open to locally employed baristas. In 2011 there is a total prize pool of about $10,000 The rules are loosely based on the WBC and WLAC. More information is on the Maitland Aroma website.
If you are visiting the festival be sure to stop past the Coffee Marque.
Hope to see you there.

Following on from previous post, if any Forum Member has any expertise in Home Roasting and would like to give a demo and a talk, at the 2011 Maitland Aroma festival, please send me a PM for more information. There are 2 x 30 minute spots available on both days of the weekend. You will need to bring all your own gear. JD
