Commanding Officer Lt Col Colin Risso presented two Long Service and Good Conduct (LS & GC) Medals today. The LS & GC medal is awarded to personnel who have demonstrated 15 years of exemplary and irreproachable conduct.
The Commissioner of Police notes the publication and content of the fishing report: “The Active Management of Marine Living Resources in the Waters around Gibraltar” and the related press release issued on the 4th of June by the Government.
The Minister for Culture, Steven Linares, recently travelled to Reykjavik, Iceland, to attend the opening of an exhibition by the organisation ‘Little Constellation,’ of which Gibraltar is now a member. The exhibition attracted over 700 visitors in its first two days.
The Minister was accompanied by Chief Culture Officer, Yvette Zarb-Bensusan and Gino Sanguinetti, Manager of the Fine Arts Gallery, who delivered a talk at the artists’ workshops which took place over the same weekend.
Dressed entirely in uniform, His Excellency the Governor yesterday visited the Gibraltar Army Cadets during their weekly training lessons, at the Buffadero Training Camp. The force is made up of 66 cadets and five instructors. The youngsters, who range between the ages of 12 and 18 carry out an annual syllabus which eventually leads to them achieving their 1 star, 2 star and 3 star awards.
The programme is funded by the Government and requires a great deal of work and time to be put into it, by retired military personal who carry out the course.
