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. 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/144828 Title: It-tentazzjoni tax-xorti Abstract: Permezz ta' intervista mal-Aġent Direttur tal-Lottu Pubbliku, dan l-artiklu jidħol fil-fond tal-psikoloġija u l-istorja tal-logħob tax-xorti fis-soċjetà Maltija. Benny Agius jippreżenta l-evoluzzjoni tad-Dipartiment tal-Lottu mill-1923, filwaqt li jispjega d-differenza fundamentali bejn il-logħob uffiċjali bħas-Super Five u l-logħob klandestin li m'għandux garanziji legali. 1994-03-06T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/143110 Title: Pictorial homage to autumn Abstract: The article reflects on autumn walks organised by the Ramblers’ Association, highlighting the changing colours, landscapes and atmosphere of the Maltese countryside.
