Petersfield Twinning Association
Promoting goodwill and friendship with Barentin in France and Warendorf in Germany
Designed by Phil Chapman.
SPRING NEWSLETTER April 2007
Dear Fellow Members.
Once again it is time to update everyone on what is happening in the world of twinning.
Recently the Barentin School of Music paid a very successful visit to Petersfield, giving two concerts jointly with musicians from Churchers College. Those who attended these enjoyed splendid entertainment of a varied kind. It was good to see so many young people working and making music together and at the same time cementing cross-Channel friendships.
This month (April), Churchers is once again involved with exchange visits both here and in Warendorf with their pupils and those from the Warendorf Mariengymnasium. We wish them happy and successful times together.
It is hoped, too, that young footballers in Petersfield will soon be making plans to play matches with counterparts in Warendorf.
At the end of April we are due to welcome 35 Barentinois here for their Biennial Visit to the town. There are some newcomers in the group and we hope they will like their intro- duction to this part of southern England. Visits to Fishbourne Roman Palace and the Mechanical Music and Doll Collection in Chichester are planned, together with the usual Farewell Dinner before our friends return home.
Plans are well ahead for the Petersfield visit to Warendorf in August. The group is now complete at 25, most of whom will be travelling by air. It is good to see that the numbers going to visit our new German twin are increasing with every trip.
Other activities planned for this summer are these:
1) Community Fair on Thursday, 10th May. This will take place from 6.00 to 8.00p.m. at Churchers College. Come along to support your Association and to see what else there is on offer in our town. Who knows? You may be surprised at what you discover!
2) Car Treasure Hunt: Saturday, 10th June. Previous treasure hunts have been popular and enjoyable and - so far! - blessed with good weather. If you wish to join in please complete the relevant slip at the end of the Newsletter. The fee is a modest £5 per car, payable on the night. Meet in the central carpark behind The White Hart at 5.45p.m.
3) Saturday, 28th July - Bring & Buy Sale - Lloyds Bank forecourt We shall set up from 9.00a.m. onwards and will finish at 12.30p.m. The last sale at Winton House in February made £118.50. Lets see if we can beat that total. Offers of items to sell (including plants, cakes, bric ΰ brac etc.), as well as offers of help on the morning will be much appreciated. Again please complete and return the appropriate slip.
We are also planning some other activities for later on, including a skittles evening and another Italian evening in the autumn. Details of these will be available with the next Newsletter.
Meanwhile, why not try your hand at the puzzles we have included this time? The French one is somewhat easier than the German one! Bonne chance! Viel Glόck!
Until next time, all best wishes,
Your Chairman,
John Kent
