The Cuban Bartenders' Club known in Spanish as Club de Cantineros de Cuba is a guild that brings together the bartenders of the Republic of Cuba. ==History== The Bartenders Club of the Republic of Cuba was officially founded in Havana, Cuba, on 27 June 1924, following the approval of the governor of the City of Havana. The club is the oldest national bartenders' guild to have been officially recorded anywhere in the world. In the 1920's, the Union of Café Employees gathered together the workforce of Cuba's hospitality industry. This association began to have major divisions among its members due to different political and social opinions, leading to its complete disintegration. The bartender Manuel Blanco Cuétara, who had been expelled at that time from the Union of Café Employees due to internal disagreements, was one of the first to consider the creation of the Bartenders Fraternal Club of the Republic of Cuba, together with Cristóbal Alonso Álvarez, José Perales Mora (who had previously suggested to Manuel the creation of a bartending section independent from the Union of Café Employees) and José Cuervo Fernández. This idea was shared with other bartenders in Havana and Manuel Blanco himself created the first draft of the directive that would govern them. On 28 May 1924, around ten to twelve people interested in the project met to establish an exclusive group of bartenders with sporting and socializing intentions at its heart. The group met again on 5 June, but this time they were joined by a larger number of people that had shown an interest in the club. Throughout the meeting, which was chaired by José Cuervo himself with Cristóbal Alonso acting as secretary, the new directive was discussed and approved with certain amendments. José Cuervo proposed to lend the club some money that could be returned to him in small installments and would be invested in acquiring the materials, furniture and products necessary for the opening, thus avoiding depending on external traders (even if they were good friends). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cuban Bartenders’ Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
