Jersey Reform Day.
This site is dedicated to the day, now officially recognised annually by the States of Jersey, to mark the anniversary of the events of 28 September 1769.
Jersey's own Independence or Bastille Day.
There has been a week of peaceful demonstration in Romania against policies of the recently elected government.
Some nights 300,000 people have joined in protest in Bucharest - around the world Romanians have shown their support and solidarity.
This was Jersey on 5 February.
Following a suggestion from Andreea Ghisoi and with support from Senator Philip Bailhache and his staff, the Romanian Ambassador in London - Dr Ion Jinga - and his diplomatic team visited Jersey this week.
There were several meetings - including an open one held at the Town Hall - so that matters of mutual interest could be discussed and explored in public.
Below are some video recordings of the public part of the proceedings posted here so that local residents, whether Romanian or otherwise have a chance to know what took place etc.
It is hoped that an Association might now be formed in Jersey to further promote the links with the London office of the Romanian Embassy etc. This could be useful in the encouragement of all sorts of links between Romania and Jersey and the eventual appointment of a local Honorary Romanian Consul....
The public meetings commenced with a lively discussion in the overflowing Committee Room of the St Helier Town Hall....
