Dunston Twinning Association - Summer 2008

In April we received a group of families and friends( 35 adults, 14 children ) from our twin village - Trange in NW France, near Le Mans . Fortunately the weather was near perfect for the programme of events which included rounders and boules on the school playing field (special thanks to Mr Boyall for his support) a walking treasure hunt round the village and a day in the Spalding area visiting the Butterfly Park and Springfield's Gardens .

We also made a very interesting visit to Nocton Ltd to see their flower production (special thanks to Dave Longmate ) . This tied in very well with the bulb fields and flower gardens at Spalding and was much appreciated by the whole group. During a twinning visit we usually enjoy a meal together and this year was no exception - Abbey Farm shop on the A17 did us proud!

Forthcoming events
The duck race approaches( June 14th ) and we hope to have a hog roast in September - watch out for notices around the villages.
The dates have been agreed for our visit to France next year April 16- 20th. Are you interested in twinning?
Each year we encourage new members to join in the fun. There are no terms and conditions - just a genuine interest in friendship and hospitality. The rewards are simple but true - and our 20 years of successful twinning confirms it . Twinning is great!!
