To the Maltese Community in the United Kingdom and Friends of Malta,
MALTA DAY – UK 2010
This year we will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Malta Day UK which will be held on Saturday 11th September. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hon Dr Tonio Borg will be the guest of honour at this year’s event.
Malta Day is an annual event organised by the Malta High Commission in collaboration with all the Maltese Associations in the United Kingdom. It is held to commemorate the 8th September feast of ‘Il-Vittorja’ – the feast of Our Lady of Victories and is an excellent way of bringing the Maltese community together. It will be a pleasure to personally meet you once again this year to jointly enjoy a taste of Malta in London.
This year’s event will follow the successful programme of previous years:
It will start in the morning with a Fair of Maltese food, beverages and other artisan products, from 10.00am to 2.00pm at Westminster Cathedral Hall, Ambrosden Avenue, London, SW1P 1QJ (near Victoria Station).
A celebratory mass at Westminster Cathedral will follow at 2.30pm. Mass will be concelebrated by His Grace Monsignor Paul Cremona, Archbishop of Malta. Afterwards, there will be a fireworks display and a procession in the streets around Westminster. This year the Voci Angeliche Choir of Xaghra Parish Gozo will join us for Mass.
The day’s events will be concluded at 7.30pm with a Gala Dinner at the Hyatt Regency – The Churchill Hotel in Mayfair. Enclosed please find a booking form for the dinner.
For more information and to book limited places for the Gala Dinner, please contact MDUK, PO Box 2964, London, N19 4NS, telephone 020 7272 9000 or email: maltese_culture@hotmail.com
This letter is being sent to all Maltese registered on the High Commission database. There are certainly many more Maltese whose contact details we do not have. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who you may think would be interested in attending these events.
Hoping you will be able to join us at Malta Day 2010.
