E’ stata una bella e indimenticabile giornata quella che ha visto il Panathlon Club Molfetta partecipare, il 29 settembre, alla EWOS 2019 e dare vita ad una manifestazione che rimarrà certamente nella memoria e nei cuori di coloro che vi hanno partecipato.
Il tema scelto per l’iniziativa è stato “Il mare, la vita e lo sport” che ha visto l’adesione di una nutrita schiera di panathleti con i loro familiari ai quali, successivamente, si sono uniti numerosi cittadini (specie giovani e ragazzi).
La manifestazione prevedeva una passeggiata amatoriale lungo il waterfront di Molfetta per raggiungere la locale sede della Lega Navale (compartecipe dell’iniziativa) e imbarcarsi su natanti messi a disposizione da quest’ultima e procedere alla pesca della plastica presente nelle superficie delle acque del nostro porto.
L’entusiasmo per la novità è stato contagioso e tutti si sono imbarcati vivendo una giornata che ha consentito loro di pescare plastica (poco, in verità, il che depone a favore della pulizia del nostro mare) e di osservare le bellezze della nostra città dal mare.
L’esperienza è stata bellissima, complice le favorevoli condizioni meteorologiche, e il Panathlon Club Molfetta non può che ringraziare la Lega Navale per la collaborazione offerta, prodromo di ulteriori e proficui incontri, e i valenti equipaggi delle imbarcazioni che hanno caricato soci e simpatizzanti.
Riteniamo che gli scopi dell’EWOS siano stati pienamente raggiunti, come dimostrano anche i discorsi conclusivi del presidente della Lega navale, dott. Felice Sciancalepore, e del Panathlon Club Molfetta, prof. Angelantonio Spagnoletti che, tra l’altro, hanno proceduto alla premiazione delle squadre che hanno raccolto la maggiore quantità di plastica.
La giornata si è conclusa con un incontro conviviale nel corso del quale i partecipanti hanno avuto modo di gustare le prelibatezze del mare di Molfetta, ma soprattutto, di parlare dell’esperienza vissuta e delle meraviglie della nostra città vista dal mare.
Dopo alcuni anni di assenza si è costituito, nei saloni del Grand Hotel, il Panathlon Club Rimini che associa donne ed uomini uniti nel perseguire gli ideali tipici che stanno a fondamento di ogni pratica sportiva.
Il neonato Club, si propone di portare avanti un messaggio molto chiaro. L’attività sportiva, non va considerata semplicemente come puro esercizio fisico, ma come momento educativo, che promuove la lealtà e la correttezza, nelle competizioni sportive ad ogni livello ed attraverso la cooperazione tra gli organismi responsabili dello sport, si coltiva l’integrità fisica e morale degli sportivi, ed in particolare dei più giovani tra essi.
