May 07 - AN EVENING AT GIBRALTAR HOUSE WITH BRITISH AIRWAYS
The Gibraltar Tourist Board (GTB) hosted an event at Gibraltar House in London in association with British Airways (BA) on 29th April.
BA flies daily from Heathrow to Gibraltar and twice daily on Saturdays and Sundays. The airline provides a very welcome connection through London to the rest of the world.
The Gibraltar Tourist Board consistently supports BA’s services in the form of marketing campaigns, mainly centred on features in the HighLife magazine and advertising on on-line boarding passes, among other activities.
19-Year-old Georgia Thursting began performing live at Gibraltar’s Rock on the Rock club when she was 13, she now studies at Leeds College of Music after taking a year out in London to pursue her music career.
The Royal Gibraltar Police launched a new initiative for 10-11 year old students on Saturday the 4th of May. The CSI Workshop provided pupils with an exiting, hands-on program that exposed them to real crime scene techniques at a level appropriate for their age. They experienced fingerprinting, the lifting of shoeprints, examining hairs and fibres and the obtaining of DNA as evidence. The main objectives of the workshop were to introduce pupils to forensic science, show them how the police applies science in crime investigations and teach pupils practical work using scientific methods.
Minister for Health and the Environment, Dr. John Cortes this morning announced that Gibraltar has been chosen to host the second peer review visit for the EU Cities Adapt Project, which aims to provide capacity building and assistance in the development and implementation of an adaptation strategy to deal with the predicted impacts of climate change.
