Final Committee Meeting of 2010

Submitted by John Thomas on Tue, 04/01/2011 - 14:50

The committee of Patchway Twinning Association met on December 16th 2010, and as there was no pressing business, no agenda was issued and it turned into a social evening.
Members brought along some festive goodies which were consumed along with an excellent bottle of wine brought back from our twin town of Clermont L'Herault after our visit there in the summer of 2010.
It was a good year for our association, with two wonderful exchanges, one to Clermont and one from Gauting.

Gauting comes to Patchway

Submitted by John Thomas on Tue, 10/08/2010 - 12:15

The weekend of July 30th until August 2nd saw the arrival of a group of friends from Gauting, Bavaria.

Some were old friends who have visited us before and others were new to Patchway, so we hope they had a very good experience and will come again next time.

The visitors arrived a little late as there was a flight delay in Amsterdam so after our Mayor had officially welcomed them to Patchway, plus of course a cup of English tea and nibbles, they went off to their respective accommodation to “rest up” for the start of the official programme in the evening.

Patchway Twinning Association AGM

Submitted by John Thomas on Sun, 04/07/2010 - 22:04

This year on the 15th July the AGM will take place at Stoke Lodge Primary School, where the officers and committee will resign and come up for re-election.

All the members are invited and of course if anybody wants to stand as an officer they will be very welcome, as fresh blood brings fresh ideas and there is always a very willing committee to help with the "chores"

The AGM coincides with the visit to Patchway of six students from Gauting, so come along and meet them.

Hosts for visitors from Gauting

Submitted by John Thomas on Wed, 30/06/2010 - 16:23

We would encourage residents of the areas in and around Patchway to contact the Patchway Twinning Association if they feel they could host a visitor or a couple from our twin town of Gauting, Bavaria between Friday, July 30th and Monday, 2nd August.
This new experience may leave you wanting to try visiting our twin towns as guests in others houses. It really is a special feeling to become part of another family, even for a short while, and become friends for life overnight.

Patchway Twinning Association took part in an exchange with its twin town of Clermont L'Herault over the weekend of 24th to the 28th June 2010 to celebrate 15 years from the signing of the charter back in 1995.
To complete the occasion a delegation was invited from Gauting to join us in Clermont.

We all met at Bristol airport and travelled to Beziers where we were met by the town minibus and some private cars that transported us to Salle George Bressens, Clermont, for a civic welcome.

Annual Twinning Dinner

Submitted by John Thomas on Fri, 30/04/2010 - 23:27

April 30th.
This evening we had a wonderful time at the Thornbury Golf Club, highly recommended, where a gathering of 23 members of the association celebrated another successful year for Twinning.

As usual we had a well supported raffle and the donated prizes and generous support meant we raised some more precious funds for the associations program in the summer months ahead.

Thanks for all your support

Chairman
