1960 The U K B G Guide to Drinks (3 rd edition revised)

U. K. B. G. GUIDE TO DRINKS bartending and ancillary subjects and is open to apprentice 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. Since the inauguration of the new Rules in July, 1959, it is now a directive from the ruUng body of the Guild that all apprentices who join after that date must take the Course on completing twelve months' membership of the Guild, thus ensuring in future years a greater standard of competence and conduct. The Guild is deeply indebted to Hon. Member John Whyte, M.H.C.I., for all the hard work and endeavour which he has rendered in this sphere. r ■^A ■ 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. . jr -i When mentioning the growth of the Guild we cannot tail to acknowledge the wonderful co-operation and support it has received during the last twenty-six years froiri our many friends in the wine, spirit and kindred trades. Their always wiUing 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 in the Trade. To sum the whole thing up the Guild has been the means, since its inception, of creating a higher standard of efficiency, better understanding and goodwill amongst cocktail bartenders throughout the world.
