European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
Special Olympics Gibraltar held a sponsored Sports Marathon last Saturday at their Sports Complex to raise funds for upcoming international tournaments. Athletes took part in various sports from 9 am until 6 pm, including football, floorball, badminton and basketball, as well as fun activities including table tennis, dodgeball and fun-golf. A large number of local athletes took part and they had the opportunity to use the Special Olympics Gibraltar Sports Complex gym and cafeteria throughout the day. For many this was their first opportunity to use the facilities and the benefits were obvious for all to see.
The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo leaves for London today to give evidence before the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee about the ongoing negotiations for a UK-EU Treaty on the future relationship of Gibraltar.
Eighty-eight-year-old Mr Reggie Norton, who served as Town Clerk to the City Council from 1962 until 1969, was this morning presented with a memento of his time in office by the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia in the presence of the Archivist Mr Anthony Pitaluga.
