Lm1200 for Xewkija boy through ASM Autocross by di-ve.com 

Thursday, 18 September, 2003

The Assocjazzjoni Sport Muturi (ASM) Autocross section moved all the way to Gozo for a special weekend racing programme in Xewkija held on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September 2003. The idea behind all this was to raise funds for a small 5 year old boy who needs urgent special hospital treatment in UK.

On Saturday afternoon all the competitors and their cars were gathered together at the Xewkija Church Square. Archpriest Mons. Carm Mercieca addressed the crowd and the cars drove in a carcade to the Race track at Ta' Hamet in Xewkija.

The race track was formed in a large field of Victor Scerri by ASM members earlier in the morning. Two competitions were organised in the afternoon both for the Maltese and Gozitan drivers who prepared their cars according to the ASM Competition Rules.

While racing was in progress, funds were collected from the spectators who were carefully watching every move on the track from a safe distance on the boundary walls around the place.

In the Sunday morning program, Motocross racing and Special Go-carts also demonstrated their skills on the loose surface of the track. The number of spectators also increased and more funds were collected. Racing came to an end at noon when all competitors drove to Xewkija Church Square.

ASM President Mr. Frans Deguara and Archpriest Mercieca addressed the meeting. Mr. Anthony Borg Head of Gozo Minister's Secretariat, Dr. Monica Vella Mayor of Xewkija together with other personalities were presented with mementos by the ASM President.

Frans Deguara presented the funds collected during the event to Archpriest Mercieca among an applause from all present. The Lm1202.32 collected for the 5 year old John Paul Attard was then passed over to a member of the Attard family.

Tokens for this special event in Xewkija were also given to all competitors, sponsors and helpers. Mr. Deguara ASM President would like to thank all who contributed for this special fund raising event.
