Title: Rabta ta' 178 sena ta' storja bejn il-Festa ta' Marija Bambina u r-Regatta Abstract: Dan l-artiklu jitkellem dwar ir-rabta qawwija bejn ir-Regatta u l-festa ta’ Marija Bambina fl-Isla, tradizzjoni li ilha teżisti għal 178 sena. Is-segretarju tal-klabb tar-Regatta jfakkar sena mimlija ħidma u sfidi, speċjalment wara riżultati diżappuntanti fir-Regatta ta’ Settembru 2001. Minkejja dan, il-kumitat u l-qaddiefa ħadmu b’determinazzjoni kbira u rnexxielhom jiksbu suċċessi fit-tigrijiet ta’ Jum il-Ħelsien. Barra milli saħħaħ in-nurseries, il-klabb kompla jtejjeb il-faċilitajiet tiegħu permezz ta’ diversi proġetti u inizjattivi ta’ ġbir ta’ fondi. Fl-aħħar, l-awtur jagħmel appell lis-Sengleani biex jappoġġjaw lit-tim tagħhom waqt il-festa u jesprimi apprezzament lejn dawk kollha li jaħdmu għall-festa, kemm fid-dekorazzjonijiet kif ukoll fin-nar, filwaqt li jawgura li Marija Bambina tibqa’ tħares u tipproteġi lill-komunità kollha.
