Aug 16 - Cardboard Boat Race On Saturday
This Saturday 18th August, Ocean Village will host the annual RAOB Charity Cardboard Boat Race & Marina Festival in aid of GBC Open Day and the Gibraltar Cardiac Association charities. This year there are 27 boats registered, so it’s set to be the biggest ever!
Steven Linares - Minister for Culture, the Media, Youth and Sport and Dr John Cortes - Minister for Education, Heritage, the Environment, Energy and Climate Change - will attend together with Miss Gibraltar 2018 and two contestants.
For Star Wars fans, some of the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers and a few surprise characters will be popping by to say hello and get some photos with the crowd.
The Juniors Race will start at OV Marina 12pm-12:15pm and the Grand Raffle will be held after the Juniors Race - there’s £4k worth of prizes to be won. (https://www.raobgibraltar.org/raffleprizes)
If you’ve bought a raffle ticket make sure you come down and see if you win anything. If you didn’t get one yet, raffle tickets will be available to buy in the morning only from a table by Dusk.
The Adults Race starts at approximately 2pm.
