June 05 - Minister Attends Icelandic Exhibition
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.
A statement from the PDP:
This year’s annual Short Story Competition was carried out as part of the 2013 Gibraltar Spring Festival. The contest boasted 246 entries, which were judged by Mr. Charles Durante, Mrs Aida Delaney and Mrs Patsy Scott.
