The link was first established in 1973 when a French teacher living in Saint - Omer decided to start an exchange of friends with his father's town of origin - Deal.
The History of Twinning
When you enter many towns and cities in Great Britain today you are greeted by a sign: “Welcome to …., twinned with …..”. These signs represent a history of international co-operation and friendship, some at an official level, many as informal links between groups of people of all ages and backgrounds. Twinning became popular in Great Britain after the Second World War, with the aim that building links and exchanges between individual towns and cities would bring reconciliation and prosperity after years of conflict.
The Twinning Society always welcomes new members to enjoy social activities, "entente cordial" day trips to France and, if you wish, becoming a host and/or guest to one of our many French friends and families.
There is an annual membership fee (waived this year because of Covid) of £10 per person, and the membership year runs from 1st. March to the end of February.
New members are welcome to join at anytime during the year but, to keep things simple, the membership fee remains at £10 for the whole or part of this year.
