Great Taste workshop this week

The government is looking to encourage Manx food and drink producers to learn the process of entering for the 'Oscars' of the industry.

It's inviting those to take part in a free workshop to negotiate the ways of putting themselves forward for the Great Taste Awards.

The industry on the Island celebrated a record-breaking performance at the event this year, with 73 products scooping accolades.

It will be held at 6.30pm tomorrow, January 9, at the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture's training room in St Johns - those interested should register at food@gov.im
