The first training session has been held and was deemed an outstanding success.

The "class" was tutored by Steve Mudie, a well known professional in the Licensed Trade and after his tutorial, the exam was held. Final results are in, with all the students passing the exam. 

This was the first initiative by the joint endeavours of the Maltmen and the 49 Wine and Spirit Club of Scotland. Because of the success of this, other courses or ventures have been considered.

The Craftsmen and their peers in the Wine Club are committed to assisting people in the Trade.
