Annual Dinner
The Heritage
Trust’s annual dinner took place last Thursday 31st October. The dinner was
very well supported by the membership who took the opportunity to enjoy a
heritage themed evening in the pleasant surroundings of the Rock Hotel. The
dinner was attended by the Minister for Heritage, the Hon. Steven Linares and
also the Trust’s Patron, HE Sir Adrian Johns. The event was the last Trust
event for Sir Adrian and the opportunity was taken to thank him for his support
over the years. The evening was rounded off with a talk by guest speaker Thomas
Knowles, Deputy Head of Investment at Historic Scotland who spoke on heritage
and small nations and the latest technological techniques that Historic
Scotland is using to document, record and manage their historic monuments. Many
have already shown interest in attending nest years dinner, making sure that
this event goes from strength to strength as a way of celebrating Gibraltar’s
Heritage and also creating debate on the latest heritage issues where we see
that many of the issues faced in heritage conservation are not just unique to
Gibraltar.
This year’s
Heritage Awards were also presented at the dinner. This year’s awards are a mix
of building refurbishments and three properties, a large scale restoration of
Harding’s Battery and for a website promoting stories from Gibraltar’s history.
