Accommodation
GIB does not appear to be blessed with accommodation options. Expedia, for example, currently only lists 5 properties available for the Saturday evening.
The hotel of choice is the new Holiday Inn Express (see above) which has only just opened. This is located close to the airport and you can walk there direct. The address is: 21-23 Devil's Tower Road , Gibraltar, GX11 1AA

Activities
The flight times allow some time for exploring what GIB has to offer even if arriving late on the Saturday and departing on the first flight on the Sunday. I am sure some will enjoy a trip up the rock to see the monkeys at some point, whilst those plane spotters in our ranks may enjoy looking down on the airport to catch sight of the BA flights arriving/departing.
Please provide information on any possible activities in the thread and I will collate them here, or add them to the wiki. Some people may like the idea of doing a planned group activity on the Sunday morning. Let me know if this is something that appeals, or if you would all rather do your own thing, or a mixture of the two.
It's a little too soon to start making arrangements for the evening, but essentially we are looking at hitting a few bars and/or a restaurant. Suggestions welcome. But again, this is not an organised trip and we are all free to do as we please.

Any special event in GIB that day? If not, were any SH+ destination considered?
Haven't looked into March 2019 yet, made some reservations for January earlier today.
Kudos to the trio originating this. ^
So far, I'm positive to the idea, but not yet ready for the 'possible'. Will check against other commitments and return later

I'm a maybe... I usually end up on that side of the world that week for a conference, but haven't made my booking yet as it's still ten months away. 
Though if row 1 is taken on all of the flights I might skip.
