Dear Members,
In March 2023 a new committee was elected with Mr Michael Borg Cardona as Chairperson and Mr Marcus Delicata as Vice-Chairperson. When in October 2023 Mr Jean Paul Azzopardi Holland resigned for personal reasons Mr. John Caruana, who had previously been co-opted to the Committee of Management, became part of the Committee in his stead. As per the statute, the Committee of Management remains in office for two years, except that the three top posts would have to be reconfirmed by the COM. This took place in the first meeting after the AGM In March 2024 and Mr John Caruana was elected chairperson with Mrs Anna Grech as Vice-Chairperson and Mrs Carol Zammit Briffa was confirmed as Acting Chairman
Following the difficult time that the club passed through during the Covid period the club is now in full swing although we have to strive to reach the activity that the club had before the unfortunate events of Covid.
The sporting activities have picked up, however the committee is going to strive to make the facilities more popular and attract more members to the club. The committee is also engaged in modernising the club both in terms of new emerging sports, sprucing up the courts already in existence as well as upgrading all IT infrastructure.
New lifts will be installed in September 2024 replacing the existing ones which have been in use since the club move to its current premises.
An upgraded telephone system is envisaged to be operational during the month of September 2024. This also has been in operation for the last twenty -two years.
As from 1 January 2025 the club will have a new Members Register. Two new features of this program will be that members will be able to access their account through the use of username and password and payment of fees and bookings will be done directly through the members section. A full explanatory note will be circulated in due course.
We are now also going to have a facebook page on the internet where events and notices will be posted and kept up to date. The website is being upgraded with up to date information and at a later stage hopefully have a complete revamp. This will be done when more pressing expenditure is completed
In 2026 the club will be celebrating 200 years of its existence. We would appreciate feedback from the members on suggestions for this momentous event in the club’s history
Our permanent staff is continuing to work at the Club to tackle any member queries and where necessary make the necessary adjustments and to maintain the club in a condition satisfactory for members.
Finally I would like to render homage to the late Mr. Saviour Aquilina who was a committee member and an esteemed member of the Malta Union Club who has done sterling work for the club.
The Committee of Management
March 2024
