This year marked a wonderful milestone for Crewkerne Twinning Association, celebrating 50 years of twinning with Igny and 20 years with Bures-sur-Yvette. ๐
Crewkerne was delighted to host our French friends for these special anniversary celebrations, highlighting the strong friendships and cultural links that have flourished over the years.
๐ On Thursday 14th May, our visitors arrived by coach and received a warm welcome from Twinning Chair Lorna Scudder, host families and the Mayor of Crewkerne, Alice Samuel, after their long journey.
โ๏ธ The following day, guests enjoyed a visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, where they spent an enjoyable day exploring the exhibits and sharing lunch together.
๐ The visit also strengthened educational links between our communities. Valรฉrie Niddam, a Headteacher from Bures-sur-Yvette, visited St Bartholomew's School with her son, meeting the Mayor and touring the school.
โ๏ธ Thanks to the successful twinning of the two schools, pupils regularly exchange letters, sharing what they are learning and gaining valuable insights into life in each other's countries.
Stay tuned for Part 3 as the celebrations continued! ๐
