Maratona Weekend with RLQ and 15th Birthday Celebrations

Radio Lehen il-Qala is celebrating its 15th year from its first radio transmission way back on the 25th of July 1996. In order to celebrate this important milestone, Radio Lehen il-Qala organized a weekend of activities from Saturday, 23rd of July 2011 till Monday, 25th of July 2011. On Saturday, all programs were aired from the Parish Pjazzetta and a football tournament, car wash and bingo night were organized in the parish square as a means of raising funds for our radio station. On Sunday, 24th July 2011, the RLQ equipe took part in the 10am mass and, afterwards, a friendly football match between the presenters and administration was played. The highlight of these celebrations was marked with the soiree that was held on Sunday at 8pm on St Francis Street. Mario Caruana was invited to entertain us with some musical intervals while Euchar Mizzi shared with us his views on how RLQ affects the society that we are part of. Afterwards, Ruth Portelli delivered the song 15-il sena success that was produced for this occasion with lyrics by Sammy Mejlaq and music by Mro. Antoine Mercieca. Philip Pisani shared with us his poem L-Imħabba Imxandra b’Turija whilst Doris Azzopardi interviewed Ivan Cefai, the co-ordinator of RLQ. A special feature was prepared to depict the 15 years history of RLQ. The evening was concluded by a special message from Can. Dr Joe Zammit, Archpriest of Qala. The marathon weekend continued on Monday 25th July, the actual birthday of RLQ, with an open day at the premises of RLQ and kompetizzjoni bonanza throughout all the live programs.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the past and present volunteers and benefactors who make what Radio Lehen il-Qala is today.
