A Full House for Twinning Dinner!

On Saturday 12th November we held our first annual dinner.  We had a great evening at The Crown in Tarporley with a full house of 65 attending; many were longstanding twinners and we also welcomed some new faces to our French-themed meal.
At the same time in Bohars our friends were dining on fish and chips. There was a Skype video link between the two dinners throughout the events, although the technology didn’t always work quite as well as we’d hoped.  Sometimes we could see them or hear them, sometimes not.
After the dinner we were entertained by an auction of unusual lots, including numerous specially-made chocolate hedgehogs.  Auctioneer Andrew Wallace managed to keep track of bids in both English and French!  David Dunning accepted some mysterious bids over the phone.
Many thanks to all the people who played a part in making Saturday a success!

Tarporley’s French Connection – Meal and Auction

Our friends in Bohars are holding a Fish & Chip supper on Saturday the 12th of November and we are planning to enjoy a fantastic French meal at the Crown Hotel in Tarporley at the same time; hopefully with a live video link between the two events.  After the meal we will be holding an auction of delicious chocolate hedgehogs as well as other exciting paraphenalia and lots that money can’t buy!

Everyone in Tarporley and our surrounding villages is invited to the Twinning Association Autumn Meal & Auction.

It’s on Saturday November 12th 7:15pm at The Crown Hotel, Tarporley.

Tickets for the dinner cost £15 each and include a three course meal, a glass of wine and coffee.  The starter will be a choice of soup or pate, The main course options are:

Coq au Vin

And we’ll end up with a choice of Tarte au Citron or Crêpes!

During the meal we hope there’ll be a live video link to the annual Fish & Chip supper in our twin town of Bohars!

Tickets are available from the Crown Hotel and from Twinning committee members.

Plus after the meal an auction… of chocolate hedgehogs and other paraphenalia that you cannot buy in the shops! Auction starts around 9pm Free entry to the auction! Auctioneer: Mr Andrew Wallace
