The Convent Christmas Fair will take place this year on Thursday 28th November from 12 noon to 7pm. Plans have been forming over the past months and will continue behind the scenes to ensure that this year’s event will be one of the best ever.
The Royal Gibraltar Regiment (RG) are currently strengthening Britain’s longstanding diplomatic relationship with Morocco through Exercise Jebel Sahara, a joint training exercise with the Moroccan Deuxieme Brigade d’Infanterie Parachutiste (2BIP).
Now in its 13th year, the month-long exercise is based a few miles north of Marrakech and involves 161 members of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, including 49 augmented from the UK, and 200 soldiers from 2BIP.
Below is a letter sent to the press by Sir Adrian and Lady Johns following their return to the UK last week:
Sir,
Last Wednesday's send off was the culmination of four wonderful years on the Rock for us and we beg the use of your columns to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the government and people of Gibraltar for everything you have done.
Ahead of Tuesday’s match against Slovakia, the Gibraltar Football Association’s A Squad gathered at the Gibraltar International Airport on Saturday to bid fairwell to the community as they embarked on a four hour coach journey to Algarve Portugal. The team will carry out a number of training sessions before the match on Tuesday evening at 7:25pm Gibraltar time. GBC will live stream the event.
