Gibraltar Today – At the Beach: Montagu Bathing Pavilion

 Today’s episode is the last of our At The Beach series, recorded live from the Montagu Bathing Pavilion, known by the regulars as the GASA Bathing Pavilion. Christine Doolan celebrated National Day at the Pavilion, and took advantage of the earlier opening time by decorating the space with red and white. By all accounts there was a lovely community atmosphere. The Supported Needs and Disabilities Office work hard to make sure that our most popular bathing sports are accessible to all. Jenny Victory told us what changes have been made this summer.   At yesterday’s National Day Rally the Chief Minister read out a letter from King Charles III, in which His Majesty commended Gibraltar on its conservation efforts. Chief Executive of the Department of the Environment Stephen Warr spoke to us about his reaction to the King’s warm words. Kenneth Avellano is considered by regulars as the unofficial boss of the Pavilion. He loves the convenience of the place and how family friendly it is. He described how he goes looking for starfish and other creatures in the area with his grandchildren. And, Denise Bossino interrupted her lunch to tell us how much she loves the Pavilion, and goes there every day regardless of the weather! She wishes that bathers would be allowed to stay later than 8pm.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
