Hotel School raises money for the Irish Cancer Society
GMIT Hotel School entered a team in a charity five-a-side football tournament which was organised by the Galway Branch of the Irish Hotel Federation, and took place on Tuesday the 29th of September, 2009.  All proceeds from the event went to the Irish Cancer Society. 

The Hotel School raised an impressive total of Euro 1,905 through sponsorship and proceeds from raffle tickets, and supplied sandwiches for the teams on the day.

The team was made up of staff members John Long, Tom Conlon and Tomas Mangan, and a number of students from Professional Cookery, Bar Management and Retail & Customer Service Management.  Recently retired staff member Johnny Carroll also refereed on the day.

There were 12 teams in total, and the Hotel School team WON the tournament, beating Hotel Meyrick in the final.
