Dear Patrick
10th Newry Business Christmas Charity Lunch 2009
I write on behalf of the organisers of the Newry Business Christmas Charity Lunch 2009 to express our sincere appreciation to you personally, Gemma Adams, Head Chef Brian McGeough and all your colleagues for the exemplar service which you provided at the 10th Newry Business Christmas Charity Lunch on the 3rd December 2009
The commitment & professionalism displayed by the Canal Court Staff in terms of serving almost 750 meals in the Miller Suite, the Clanrye suite & also in providing chicken goujons & chips to the various school children involved in the entertainment was simply exceptional and reflected extremely well on you personally and all associated with the Canal Court Hotel. You can all be very proud of your efforts. The quality of the food and service even succeeded previous years which we did not think was possible.
Yours sincerely
Feargal P McCormack
