The gathering began with the welcome of many guests, among whom were local councillors of PiS, councillors of the Sejm of the Silesian Voivodeship, councillors of Katowice, representatives of the “Polish Gazeta” Club in Bielsko-Biala, headed by Mrs Basia Niedzielska, and Minister Michał Wójcik.

The president of the Tyki club “Gazeta Polska” together with Ania Syrek presented the club’s activities in 2024 on 42 slides. It was an highly busy year, most likely the most intense in the 14-year past of the Tyki club “Gazeta Polska”.
