The Malta Amateur Athletic Association held this year’s Awards Dinner on the 12th December 2013.
In his opening address, MAAA President Anthony Chircop started by wishing, on behalf of the Council of the MAAA, all those present a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New year to all those present for the occasion.
On behalf of the MAAA Council he thanked all the Technical Officials that throughout the year helped the Association to control both the Track and Field and Road Running events. He explained that the assistance of these officials was essential for the holding of the events.
