Christine Vella F.L.C.M. 3 4 Messa©© mill- President Dr Michael Farrugia M.D., M.P. G˙addiet sena o˙ra u l-©urnata ddedikata lil Marija Bambina re©g˙et mag˙na. Kienet sena li fi ha l-kumitat tas-Soçjetà Filarmonika Vittorja tan-Naxxar ˙adem u mexxa bl-ikbar serjetà. Il-kumitat tieg˙i kien impenjat bla heda biex ikompli bit-tisbi˙ u r-restawr tal-kaΩin. Fost l-o˙rajn sar xog˙ol estensiv fuq il- bar. Biss l-ikbar pro©ett kien ir-restawr tal-faççata u l-©enb tal-kaΩin. Matul il-medda taΩ-Ωmien, il-faççata tal-kaΩin kienet inΩebg˙at kemm-il darba. Barra minn hekk,. biççiet tal-©ebel kienu waqg˙u min˙abba li partijiet tal-faççata ddeterjoraw maΩ-Ωmien. Kull min illum jg˙addi minn quddiem il-kaΩin jista’ jara b’g˙ajnejh ix-xog˙ol kbir li sar. Dan ix-xog˙ol kien jinvolvi nefqa konsiderevoli. RiΩultat ta’ hekk is-soçjetà tag˙na kellha tissellef ming˙and diversi membri u ming˙and il-Kummissjoni Ûg˙aΩag˙ tas-Soçjetà tag˙na ˙alli tkun tista’ tag˙mel il-˙lasijiet relatati max-xog˙ol ta’ restawr. Sfortunatament sal-lum, minkejja diversi weg˙diet, ftit li xejn kienet l-g˙ajnuna ming˙and dawk li jifta˙ru li g˙andhom g˙al qalbhom ir-restawr ta’ postijiet li g˙andhom l-istorja ta’ Malta marbuta mag˙hom. Fl-istess ˙in irrid nirringrazzja lill-Kunsill Lokali tan-Naxxar, lil Libjan Arab Holding u diversi sostenituri o˙rajn li b’mod jew ie˙or taw l-g˙ajnuna tag˙hom. Irrid nirringrazzja lil dawk kollha g˙all-˙idma tag˙hom li g˙amlu b’mod volontarju fuq il-bar u fuq l-aperturi tal- kaΩin. Lejn l-a˙˙ar tas-sena li g˙addiet, il-kumitat tieg˙i kellu jibni banka tal-lottu o˙ra wara li l-awtoritajiet tilfu l-kawΩa li kellhom mas-sid tal-art li fuqha kienet mibnija l-banka tal-lottu l-antika. Hawnhekk nixtieq nirringrazzja lil Attard Bros. g˙ax-xog˙ol b’xejn tal-infrastruttura fuq din il-banka. Nirringrazzja wkoll lill-President Onorarju s-Sur Toni Catania tal-g˙ajnuna tieg˙u biex stajna naslu fl -inqas Ωmien g˙al soluzzjoni mal-awtoritajiet. Matul din is-sena kellna Ωjara mill-President tar-Repubblika ta’ Malta Dr. Edward Fenech Adami u l-mexxej il-©did Laburista Dr Joseph Muscat meta dawn it-tnejn separatament g˙amlu Ωjara fi l-lokalità tan-Naxxar. It-tnejn kellhom kliem ta’ tif˙ir g˙ax-xog˙ol li sar s’issa fi l-kaΩin u l-impenn u l-˙idma biex il-muΩika tkun aççessibli g˙al aktar u aktar Ωg˙aΩag˙. Fis-27 ta’ Lulju 2008 kellna l-unur li s-surmast tal-banda tag˙na Mro Roderick Bugeja dderie©a b’suççess l-Orkestra Filarmonika Nazzjonali fi l-preΩentazzjoni tal-kunçert Pop Fever. Kienet lejla mill-isba˙ u li Ωgur li Mro Bugeja jibqa’ jiftakar. Nie˙du l-opportunità wkoll biex nirringrazzja lil membri kollha tas-soçjetà, lill-Kummissjoni Banda u lill- Kummissjoni Ûg˙aΩag˙ tal-attivitajiet li ji©u organizzati, tal-parteçipazzjoni attiva tag˙hom u tal-g˙ajnuna kull meta u kull fejn kien hemm bΩonn. Fuq kollox nirringrazzjahom tas-serjetà li wrew f’kull ˙in u f’kull mument anke meta kienu pprovokati. Nirringrazzja wkoll lid-dilettanti tan-nar fi ˙dan is-Soçjetà li ja˙dmu qatig˙ ˙alli kull sena jkollna festa kompluta kif jixraq lill-Bambina. Grazzi g˙all-g˙aqda, il-˙idma u s-serjetà nistg˙u nifta˙ru b’sena o˙ra ta’ suççessi li bdew matul il-festa ta’ Marija Bambina tas-sena li g˙addiet u li komplew matul l-a˙˙ar sena. Sfortunatament f’Marzu li g˙adda l-lokalità tan-Naxxar intlaqg˙tet minn tra©edja fejn mhux biss mietet persuna innoçenti imma diversi familji spiççaw bla dar jew bi ˙sarat fi l-propjetà tag˙hom. Is-Soçjetà tag˙na kienet solidali ma’ dawn il-familji. Barra minn hekk is-soçjetà minn rajna offrejna li g˙al din is-sena jsir tnaqqis fi ç-çelebrazzjonijiet ta’ barra, speçjalment f’dak li hu ˙ruq tan-nar. Qbilna mal-Kumitat tal-festa li nar tal-ajru jin˙arraq fl -a˙˙ar jumejn tal-festa fi lwaqt li dak tal-art jin˙araq darba biss, ji©ifi eri fi s-6 ta’ Settembru. Sfortunatament çertu su©©erimenti o˙ra li saru ma ©ewx milqug˙a. Nittama li fi l-©ranet li ©ejjin l-affarijiet jitmexxew bl-akbar serjetà ˙alli jkollna festa mill-isba˙ kif tixraq lil Marija Bambina. Fl-istess ˙in importanti li s-sapporters tas-soçjetà tag˙na jobdu d-diretturi tal-uffi çjali tas-soçjetà ˙alli bl- aktar mod çivili nifi r˙u u nferr˙u b˙alma dejjem g˙amilna. In˙e©©e© lil kul˙add biex jipparteçipa fl -attivitajiet ta’ divertiment u/jew orkestrali organizzati mis-soçjetà muΩikali Vittorja. Nawgura lin-Naxxarin kollha festa mill-isba˙.
