CB Community Cocktails at the Scrapstore AGM

At the Scrapstore AGM on Tuesday 4th November, the CB Project served up something a little different - The Community Builders Speakeasy.

Against a background of 1920's music and portraits of President Roosevelt, Flappers and Al Capone, Stuart ran a silent movie showcasing the work of CB groups, complete with crackles and black & white film.

Later cocktails were served - but not just any old cocktails. The CB Project challenged the audience to come up with the key ingredients needed to make a community group sustainable. Split into 3 groups, the audience drew up recipe cards for 3 Community Cocktails with a list of the magic sustainable ingredients; people, venue, funding, publicity, etc. They were then able to make their cocktails up at the Speakeasy Cocktail Bar, with specially labelled ingredients.

The trick was to try and outwit the CB Project by guessing all the correct ingredients - and fair play to everyone at the AGM, you nearly got them all.
