Its not every day one gets to meet a princess so it was an honour to have been invited by the Chief Minister as head of the Gibraltar Darts Association. The reception was at the Leisure Centre in Flat Bastion Road.
The event was very well organised by the Tourist Office and firstly we had the usual canapes & drinks and waited for around 30 minutes or so.
After our share of food and drink we were presented to Princess Anne's husband, Admiral Timothy Laurence, I was with a group of about 8 other sporting associations. He asked me if darts was popular in Gibraltar so I told him we had been going for over 56 years and we have a healthy association (to be honest I answered other questions but I don't remember them jejeje).
Around 15 minutes later, Her Royal Highness came around and I noticed straight away she made herself present as she fixates her eyes giving the person she is speaking to all the attention in the world. I answered a few questions and I told her that darts was very popular in Gibraltar and that we have a good relationship with our Spanish friends but we play mostly soft tip over there as that's very popular in Europe & Japan.
I had a good time and I also managed to catch up with different people I know. It was a long time since I have been able to enjoy some perks of being head of the association.
