If you have ever been a BGA member, or are one now, we are offering you the incredible opportunity to renew your BGA membership for FREE. That's right. We want you to be a part of the revolution that is the Barista Guild.
In the past year we have implemented many changes, and have things coming in the next year that will be incredible. The new BGA Certification is now available, and there were many people who took advantage of the opportunity to become certified at the SCAA Expo in Atlanta this past weekend. Lots of BGA members took advantage of their class discounts, and discounts with our partner companies.
We want you, and need you, and am making this as easy as possible. We have created a website where you can renew your membership online, and for a limited time, you can do so for free. This offer ends May 1st, so do it now! You can sign up by clicking here:
https://www.signmeup.com/site/reg/register.aspx?fid=RH2V5K7
Again, we thank you so much for your support, and promise we are doing all we can to make the BGA everything you want it be, heck, we want it to be. If you can think of something you want out of the BGA that you don't get now, please don't hesitate to let me, or anyone on the BGA Executive Council know! We work for you! Viva Barista!

While I don't regret renewing my membership, the T-Shirt arrived yesterday and the quality leaves much to be desired. Ok, nifty keen it's made from Organic Cotton (made in Pakistan). But just as Organic means squat in coffee quality so goes with this T-Shirt. It is made from cheap thin loose weave very light weight "organic" cotton. I won't wear it often because it won't survive many washings, even with a high end HE3 front loader like we have. And for $20 not close to a decent value.

For the record I've 20+ years non-profit organization event merchandising experience from small retreats of a couple dozen to World Convention level attended by ~100,000. Never have we used such cheap quality T's.

Hopefully those involved in purchasing zu-zues and wam-wams for the BGA will pay closer attention to quality in the future. If this T was an espresso beverage, doubt it would be good enough for even McCafe.

Price is definitely right for renewal. Of course also opted for a T so make that $20:-)

One of those things that makes me go hmmmm. Is it just me that finds it ironic that the most appropriate discussion category for starting a new discussion is Off Topic for discussing The Barista Guild of American on BX, the self proclaimed world's premiere online community for the specialty coffee industry? Seems to me the BGA is highly On Topic.

On another note, is the BGA Forum permanently dead? Has the rise of BX made a BGA Forum obsolete?
Mike, your comments have been forwarded to the appropriate people. Thanks for the comments, maybe yours was just an off shirt? Either way, we want you to be happy with your shirt....
