A national association has been formed to group those involved in street decorations for the various feasts.

The association was set up following the publication by the Curia of a consultation document on village feasts. Dr Godfrey Farrugia, who promoted the setting up of the association, has been elected its first president.

The association said the need for its setting up had long been felt, particularly as similar associations already grouped the band clubs and the fireworks factories.

The association said it will preparing an official reaction to the Church document. It will also work to strengthen traditional street decorations.
