Government House issues appeal to residents marking major milestones

Change in GPDR rules means some are missing out on celebratory cards

People on the Isle of Man have been asked to recognise their major birthday and wedding anniversary milestones. 

The Lieutenant Governor sends cards those celebrating 90th and 100th birthdays (and for every year after), as well as to those celebrating their 50th, 60th, 65th and 70th wedding anniversaries.

In the past the registry office would send a list to His Excellency's office, but due to GDPR they now rely on people making themselves aware. 

Government House says it can also arrange for cards to be sent by His Majesty King Charles III Lord of Mann and Queen Camilla.

Secretary to Sir John Lorimer, Rowan Corlett says it puts a smile on people's faces:

If you know someone due to reach any of these milestones and you'd like them to receive a card, simply contact Government House. Email: Government.House@gov.im
