Gibraltar visit the
Isle of Man
Hot on the trail of Petur Pettersen and Soffus Johannesen of the Faroe
Islands who visited the Island in October, Linda Alvarez, Secretary of
the Island Games Association of Gibraltar visited the Isle of Man early in
November to book accommodation for her team in 2001.
Luckily, many of our hotels stay open until the first week of November so
Linda was able to complete her negotiations with local hoteliers. Apart from
the larger hotels who stay open all year round the vast majority will now be
closed until next Easter.
Over the winter period, the Department of Tourism will be contacting all
the hotels to discuss requirements for the 2001 Games and Islands will be
able to book their accommodation during their scheduled visits in July 2000.
It is hoped that most teams will be able to be accommodated in the
Douglas area.
