by Ivan Mizzi - 6th February 2011

This morning, Prime Minister Dr. Lawrence Gonzi, together with a contingent from the Nationalist Party, including Hon. Tonio Fenech and Hon. Tonio Borg, visited the Birkirkara Football Club premises during their visit to the town of Birkirkara. Officials from the Birkirkara Football Club's committee, welcomed the contingent.

Dr. Gonzi spoke on how this is the Year of Voluntary Work, and that included the voluntary work done by many people involved in football clubs. He then presented the Club a copy of the book "Tezori fil-Knejjes Maltin" ("Treasures in Maltese Churches") Volume 12, which is published by PIN publications, and has details about the treasures found in the churches of Birkirkara. Dr. Gonzi then proceeded to autograph the copy.

Club President Karm Galea thanked Dr. Gonzi and the contingent for paying a visit to our Club's premises. He then went on to thank the government for all the help it has provided to the various sport associations, through various schemes, including those offered by Malta Sports Council. He also expressed his wish that the government increases its help even further, as the sports clubs and associations need all the help they can get.

The contingent and the committee members then attended a small reception, where they mingled and spoke informally about football and related matters.

After, the contingent headed to the BKR Radio studio where they were also greeted warmly.
