Sep 05 - Charity Trek to Raise Funds for Rainbow Ward and Great Ormond Street Hospital
Lawyer and former Government Minister Fabian Vinet and his wife Genevieve, a school teacher, are raising money for the Rainbow Ward at Saint Bernard’s Hospital and London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital. On Saturday 14th September they will be taking part in the ‘Thames Path Challenge’, a 50km non-stop endurance, against-the-clock trek which they aim to complete in about twelve hours.
Described as a test of physical and mental strength, the Walk starts at 8am near Putney Bridge and covers public footpaths and other terrain through Richmond, Kew, Twickenham, Hampton and Kingston, finishing at Runnymede. The charitable venture has been made possible thanks to the direct assistance of Lombard Odier & Cie (Gibraltar) Limited. “We are so grateful to Lombard Odier and its Senior Management for having financed all the logistics surrounded the Walk,” said Genevieve and Fabian. “Lombard Odier are in effect our Main Sponsors and their help really has been invaluable. It is thanks to their assistance that 100% of all other funds received will be donated to the charities.”
Sep 05 Sales Of Holidays Continue To Rise
Following on from the news released in February of 2013 by Superbreak Holidays ofthe UK that their sales to Gibraltar had increased, the company has once again announced a further increase.
Bookings for Gibraltar currently stand at just over 300% year on year. The company has reported an increase in bookings during the run of the series “Gibraltar: Britain in the Sun” aired on Channel 5 in the UK earlier this summer. In addition a spike in bookings was experienced after the run of two episodes of the popular UK TV series “New Tricks”, where Gibraltar was featured.
Superbreak points out that the key indicator of the success of Gibraltar is that it has jumped from the 15th to the 10th position in their list of top selling destinations and is now ahead of cities such as Prague. Superbreak has over 30 years of experience in providing quality UK and European short breaks.
