Dunston Twinning Association

The twinning of Dunston with the village of Trange, 8 miles E of Le Mans is entering it’s 20th year next year. Started by a small group of enthusiastic people from both the English and French communities, this twinning has grown and evolved with the passing of time. The fact that the twinning is based upon family friendships is it’s greatest strength, whilst inevitably introducing some sadness as we share together in life’s ups and downs.
The twinning has expanded over the years and now includes families from Dunston Nocton and Metheringham.
In the year ahead, we will visit Trange to celebrate the 20th anniversary, taking with us a picture of ducks / duck races, painted by local artist, Cliff Baxendale. Several new families have joined recently which is always an encouragement - new ideas, new friendships and so forth! One of the positives of our twinning is the inclusion of families with children, keeping the whole thing alive and moving on. Watch out for the twinning events locally and if anyone has an interest in joining us, please contact
