Town Twinning Association |
| |
|  The
Reigate and Banstead Twinning Association is responsible
for the Borough's town twinning links with the town of Eschweiler
in the German Rhineland and with Brunoy, south of Paris
in France. There is an active membership made up of individuals,
families, clubs, societies and companies, who pay a small
annual subscription.
The Association organises fund-raising social events and
activities in the Borough and publishes a quarterly newsletter.
Two
Sub-committees - one for Brunoy and one for Eschweiler -
arrange regular visits to the twin towns, where members
stay with host families in or near the town and take part
in organised and more informal activities (such as municipal
receptions, visits to vineyards and other local sites and
the annual Eschweiler Karneval).
Many local groups have established twinning links with
their opposite numbers in Eschweiler and/or Brunoy. The
list also includes other cultural societies, educational
establishments and sports and leisure groups.
The Association acts as the focal point for all such visits
and exchanges between clubs, schools and other groups by
giving advice and support and encouraging new links. For
more information, please contact Mrs Margaret Brown, editor
of the Twinning Association’s Newsletter, on 01737
247021.
