HOSPITALITY GRADUATIONS

On Thursday 16th February Galgorm had the pleasure of hosting the graduation of 16 students from the Northern Ireland Hospitality School (NIHS) in their achievement of obtaining their Level 2 City & Guilds in Professional Bartending (Cocktails). The NIHS overall goal is to link the hospitality industry into a community of mutual growth and understanding. They believe the first step to this goal is the spread of education and ideas. To this end, they designed and introduced courses aimed at people preparing their journey into the world of hospitality whilst benefiting from ‘earn while you learn’. Events like these demonstrate the importance and value of investment in people and help to create new career opportunities. Galgorm extends thanks to all involved: The Gallaher Trust, Northern Regional College, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, MAPAL Group.

Supporting Local Charities

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Michael Savage, has been raising vital funds for four charities that he has chosen to support during his year in office: The Southern Area Hospice, Society of Saint Vincent De Paul, Suicide Down to Zero and The Simon Community. On Friday 3 February, over 300 guests turned out in their finery for the Chairperson’s Charity Ball at the Canal Court Hotel, Newry, where they enjoyed a fantastic evening of food and entertainment provided by some of the best of our local musicians to raise vital funds for each of these exceptional charities that work right at the heart of our community. Kevin McAllister, Downtown Radio, was master of ceremonies for the evening event.
