I saw this bit of advice on the site referenced below:
"What is required is a Temporary Event Notice which the organiser of your group
can apply for by writing to the Local Authority Licensing Committee in the area
in which the event is to be held.
I am assuming no more than 500 people will attend and the event will last no
longer than 96 hours. Event can be indoors or outdoors and anyone over 18 can
apply for two such events per year. It will cost no more than a few pounds.
Somewhat remarkably the procedure is actually very straightforward and
requires 10 days notice in advance of the event.
If there are no objections by police or Local Authority (extremely rare)
the application is granted automatically.
You are quite right to be alert to potential issues as licensing law
covers the SUPPLY and not just the sale of alcohol."
So, maybe this is the answer.
Another suggestion is to give the booze away for free; but slap a ã2 deposit on the bottle; refundable if the bottle is returned.
Obviously, for charity only a genuine Scrooge would return the bottle; but the offer has to be there to make the beer "free". :thumb:
