Children shouldn't start back full days after a heavy national day enjoying themselves. They will just fall asleep in class. That's my opinion.

Why change? Its always been after national day.

(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

We should enjoy the Rock concert with our whole family knowing kids can rest the following day.

National day bank holidays should always be given the next working day if it falls on weekends like it had always been!!!

Fed up of govt changing national day bank holiday to suit those that go to gmf make a public holiday for gmf but don't move around national day one!!!

I'm signing this petition because not everyone attend GMF but everyone does attend Gibraltar National Day!!! and kids would start full days that day and would be exhausted.

National day is more important than the GMF

(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

#119

I am sure there are more people of all ages participating in National Day than the GMF. As someone suggested move the GMF to the long weekend in August.

We cannot be moving public holidays around to fit our needs

(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

#133

Completely agree with this!!
If National Day falls on a weekend, we have always had the Monday as a Bank Holiday.
Just because it makes money for whomever, Government should not change this for anyone's convenience.
It is what it is, NATIONAL DAY!!!.
Not Music Festival Bank Holiday!!

(Gibraltar , 2017-08-16)

#156

It is not fair on people which dont go to the GMF

(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

#158

National day is national day ,not the GMF it should never have changed. Like one day of GMF is good enough.

Not everyone attends the GMF yet many celebrate National day ...

National Day deserves its own bank holiday! People going to GMF can book the monday off from their leave and be done with it. personally id make national day like easter, the closest saturday to the 10th and have a bank holiday after it. GMF is also taking a massive nose dive btw just sayin

The day belongs to the people of Gibralter not the government and certainly not individuals or companies financial interests, I'm not religious at all but I can't see them cancelling good Friday that would not go down well.

(Gibraltar , 2017-08-16)

#178

The bank holiday should be changed back !!!

(Gibraltar, 2017-08-16)

#179

It's a disgrace that it has been changed to suit the needs of those supporting the GMF not those who support our GIBRALTAR NATIONAL DAY which this year we are celebrating its 50th Anniversary of why we now celebrate this day

Why should people that don't attend GMF (like me) suffer, when the bank holiday has always been on the national day weekend. Screw that.
