This year we had a stand at the carnival and it was a great success with our combined selling of delicious cakes and telling people about the Twinning Association. We hope to get a few new members as a result.
We also took part in the parade; on food this time. maybe next year someone can loan us a Citroen 2CV?
Our younger twinners and their leaders will be off to Bohars on the 20th of August for a week of activities. Bon Voyage!
We’ll have a stall at Tarporley Carnival on Saturday the 11th of July – please come along if you want to find out more about twinning!
We will be having a short informal meeting on 28th June, to discuss the young persons’ visit to Bohars in August 2015.
If you’ve not been to a meeting before then phone David Dunning beforehand for details (see the Contact Us page).
We took our French guests to Stretton Water Mill. West Cheshire Museums were able to provide a French-speaking guide.
The group learned (mostly in French) about how flour was milled in past centuries. One of our visitors, Pierre, was particularly interested as he is a retired miller himself, albeit in a more modern flour mill in Brittany.
Had it been a sunny day we could have sat on the benches by the lake afterwards – but the weather wasn’t so good and we were obliged to retire to the Cock O’Barton for drinks!
We will be having a short informal meeting in The Swan, Tarporley on Thursday 26th Feb at 730pm to, amongst other things, look at which young people are wanting to go to Bohars in August 2015. We need to be organizing transport ASAP if there’s any chance of getting flights. so please come and put your child’s name on the list!
If you’ve not been to a meeting before then phone David Dunning beforehand so he can look out for you on the night! (see the Contact Us page for details)
