Miss Ulster

Banbridge student crowned the first ever Clubworld Travel Miss Ulster

A debate of a very different kind took place at Stormont Parliament buildings where politicians and a panel of judges deliberated over who would become the first ever Clubworld Travel Miss Ulster recently when a unanimous vote saw Banbridge beauty, Courtenay Fitzpatrick walk away with the title.

The stunning Justine Skelton from Lurgan and Clodagh Mellon from Newtownabbey took second and third places respectively at the event which was hosted by CityBeat’s Mark Lima was attended by politicians, local business men and women alongside finalists’ friends and family and respected members of the press who were treated to a wine and canapé reception and goodie bags compliments of Debenhams, NeoStrata and Botanica Skincare.
