#12Days of #SmackdownCSI



It's that time of the year - the time when the the friendly, collaborative people at the Centre For Social Innovation sharpen their knives (or at least, spatulas) and bring out their smack.

Well, at least that's the theory.  So far, this year's been quiet - really, it seems like Team #12Days are the only serious players in the running.  Which I get - we are kinda hard to beat.

We've got the plan.  We've got the story.  And yes, we've got the kick-ass cocktail, too, which is more than some sugar-coated lollys can say.

And we will be counting the 12 Days to Smackdown, giving all and sundry a walk down memory lane of the incredible journey CSI, under the guidance of the amazing Tonya Surman and supported by an incredible cast of characters, has taken from then to now.

Follow along on Facebook or Twitter as we move closer and closer to the final day...
