      Dear Sir

      The Malta Tourism Authority will be organising a multi-crib exhibition at the Auberge D’Italie.

      it would be very much appreciated to have a representation of cribs from gozo for this event which will start on December 16 until January 6.

      it would be very much appreciated if you could infom your members about this possibility.

      i look forward to hear from you.
