Whitchurch

Town Twinning

The regular monthly meeting of the Twinning Committee was held at the Dodington Lodge, Whitchurch, on Tuesday, October 9.

There were no Whitchurch Town Council representatives at the meeting.

Various methods of advertising to recruit new members were discussed. We believe we are mentioned on the Town Council’s website, but that needs to be checked.

The French have invited us to visit the first weekend in May, 2019.

Helen Stokes was not able to be present, but she reports that the cornflowers will be ready for the Armistice 100 celebration on November 11, when chairman, Andy Allen, will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the Association.

The annual social in January was discussed, but dates will be finalised at the AGM, along with arrangements for staffing the Coffee Morning at the Civic on November 23.

Following the resignation of Roger Duffel, our secretary has taken charge of the gazebo. We thank Roger for his contribution and support during his membership.

A get well card and flowers have been sent to our honorary member, Kath Bebbington, after her recent stay in hospital.

The next meeting will be the AGM, held at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, November 6 at the Dodington Lodge, Whitchurch.

All interested parties are welcome to attend. Membership enquiries to Val Webb, 01948 663948.
