The last regular inauguration of the year in the Guild on September 15th 2025 started with a wind-blown tour of the area at the Viking castle of Trelleborg.
Since the museum at Trelleborg is closed on Mondays during the off-season, the inauguration itself took place in scenic surroundings at the Climbing Park at Kragerup Estate. Here the weather showed its best side, as the sun-drenched trees provided shelter from the wind. It became a different, but very atmospheric inauguration.
Among the newly admitted were the ambassadors from Canada and Ireland. The Irish ambassador Kyle O’Sullivan is new to Denmark, and has only been in Denmark for 14 days.
Therefore, it was a special pleasure that he had set aside time for the occation, as the cooperation between the Harald Bluetooth Guild and the Irish Embassy is particularly important, due to the youth exchange program the Guild runs every summer, with the exchange of a young Irish and a young Danish student, with the aim of spreading knowledge of each other’s culture, based on the Viking theme.
It is the Irish Viking town of Waterford, which, in collaboration with Rotary International, is responsible for the Irish part, just as the local Slagelse Antvorskov Rotary Club is responsible for the accommodation of the Irish student in Slagelse.
