U. K. B. G. GUIDE TO DRINKS
members of the Guild. It is divided into two sections, a
six-month Postal Correspondence Course and a two weeks'
Practical and Theory Course at the Blackpool Technical
College. Successful students on the Correspondence Course
being given free "scholarships" for the Practical and
Theory Course. It is felt that much benefit has come from
this Scheme and will continue to do so in the future.
The honour, prestige, and esteem in which the Guild is
held is shown by the invaluable publicity which has been
given to it by the national and provincial press, by radio
and television.
■W hen mentioning the growth of the Guild we cannot fail
to acknowledge the wonderful co-operation and support it
has received during the last fifteen years from our many
friends in the wine, spirit and kindred trades. Their always
willing help has been a most important factor in the Guild's
present happy position. The Guild has, indeed, been
fortunate, not only in the wonderful spirit among its
members, but also in its cordial relations with our friends
m the Trade.
To sum the whole thing up the Guild has been the means,
inception, of creating a higher standard of
efficiency, better understanding and goodwill amongst
cocktail bartenders throughout the world.
