Twin Town Association AGM

On Saturday night Stuart and I were guests at the Twin Town AGM in the Town Hall. There was a good turn out - not suprising as there was a delicious pasta supper provided!

It was interesting to hear the reports of the various Twin Town secretaries. Almost all our twins (and nearly twins) have been actively exchanging visits with Newbury in the last twelve months. In that respect we must have one of the most active associations in the country! In 2006 there was a french exchange with Park House students, 25 Italian youngsters in July, 30 Hungarians also in July, the trip to Braunfels that I went on, a trip to Italy by the Newbury Choral Society and a contingent of adults from France, plus others that I have forgotten.

The association is looking forward to hosting 'Youth for Europe' with about 40 teenagers in August this year, and is supporting the Youth Council in organising this.
