GTKY Belfast 2016
At the reception, tea and coffee
importer Robert Bell entertained
National Trustees and Guild members
from England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland with a presentation
on the history of coffee. And Jim
Strickland gave a demonstration of
Irish bread making – with the freshly
baked loaves enjoyed by all at supper.
Next day, the National Chairman
and Trustees conducted a Getting To
Know You day, with attendees finding
out more about conferences, finance
and promotion, having queries about
TG administration clarified, and
joining in lively discussion.
Lunch was prepared and served
by the Northern Ireland Federation
committee and members from
various Guilds.
Also attending were representatives
from various organisations, including
Women’s Forum Northern Ireland,
as well as the new speaker of the
Northern Ireland Assembly, and TG’s
own National Vice President Eileen
Bell OBE, winner of a prestigious
Iris Colvin Award.
