Malta Independent Tuesday, 21 June 2005, 00:00 Last update: about 21 years ago

The Malta Shipyards Sports and Social Club is organising the 16th Malta Shipyards Singers’ Contest in aid of Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija (A Park of Friendship).

This institution is still very much in need of financial assistance to cope with its ambitious programme to provide free therapeutic and recreational services for people with special needs.

The contest will be held in the grounds of Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija, Marsascala on Saturday, 2 July at 7.30pm.

The organisers have expressed their best wishes to all the participants who are making this fund-raising event possible.

The contest is open to Maltese singers and the music and lyrics of their songs are to be by Maltese authors and composers.

Trophies will be awarded to the singers classified first, second and third in each of five sections, each section consisting of eight singers as follows: (a) aged five to seven (b) aged eight and nine (c) aged 10 and 11 (d) aged 12 to 14 (e) aged 15 and over. All the finalists, and the author/composer of the song sung by the winner of each category, will be presented with a memento of the occasion.

The Malta Shipyards Singers’ Contest has become an established event and the organisers are very pleased with the standards achieved because this helps to increase the amount collected in aid of Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija. Last year, the 15th contest raised Lm19,490.

The MSSSC said it would like to express its sincere gratitude to everyone who had in any way helped with the organisation of the contest and all those who will be attending the 16th Malta Shipyards Singers’ Contest.

Their support is vital for the special guests of Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija.

Adults attending the contest will be asked for a donation of Lm1.There will be no charge for child-ren.

Further information regarding the contest can be obtained from the secretary of the Malta Shipyards Sports and Social Club on 2399-2069.
