Not too long ago we did a photo shoot for the Nokia phone company. Here’s a great light hearted image from the eventual ad campaign that will be featured the world over.

Everyone take a look at this photo-journal of a day at Opposite Cafes Victoria Quarter site in Leeds city centre. Carl Fleischer pouring the drinks. OPPOSITE CAFE PICTURES

Paul recently worked with the folks over at Caffe Society/Brasilia on their Barista Challenge competition. We wanted to just say well done to Howard Barwick on his 1st place finish and to everyone else that entered. The standard was very high across the board! To read more on the day take a look at the site recently put on line at the brasilia coffee website

Paul put together a quiz that the entrants sat on the day. This quiz is currently on-line, so if you’d like to have a go and test your coffee know-how then head over to the questions.

So it’s back to our base in Huddersfield today after spending the last three days at the UKBC finals in glasgow, and what a finals it was. The standard throughout the semi-finals and into finals day was incredibly high and everyone was certainly deserving of their place there. Dave finished up 4th on the final day with Gwilym Davies finishing 1st, Maxine Beardsmore 2nd and Tristan Stephenson 3rd. Well done to everyone but of course we have to send out a special congratulations to Maxine who Paul had lent a helping hand to in her preparation for the championships.

Below is Dave’s set from the finals that earned him the 4th place. If you go over to viddler.com/explore/ukbc/videos you’ll be able to watch many of the other people’s sets from the whole three days.

Best of luck to Gwilym at the world finals in Atlanta!
