Wine Tasting

On Tuesday 26th March 2024, the Branch held a Protos Wine Tasting with food pairing, where a representative from Bodegas Protos guided us through the tasting of some amazing wines.

Bodegas Protos is a historic wine producer and precursor of the worldwide recognised fine wines of Ribera Del Duero. The tasting consisted of one White Wine, one Rose Wine and three Red Wines, all combined with their appropriate tapas provided by our very own caterer.

We would like to thank Saccone & Speed Ltd, for helping us organize such an enjoyable evening. Hopefully the first of many.

 

28th Official Trip to Old Trafford on the 30th Anniversary of our Branch.

On the 7th December 2023, 17 members travelled to Manchester to watch a premier league match against Bournemouth on the 9th December 2023 and a Champions League match against Bayern Munich on the 12th December 2023.

Although the results were not favourable, they definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of being at Old Trafford.

To mark the 30th Anniversary of the Branch, they were presented with a signed shirt by former captian Brian Robson, were a group photo was taken at pitch side. One of our members, Mr. JJ Buttigieg, had a small gift, which he handed to the Chairman of the MU Foundation. The group were later interviewed by MUTV.
