Description
The Shepton Mallet Town Twinning Association is a community group which administers twinning affairs on behalf of the Town Council for the purposes of maintaining and fostering relations between towns in different countries. Shepton has 3 twin towns – Misburg (a suburb of Hanover, Germany), Oissel-sur-Seine (near Rouen, France) and Bollnas (in central Sweden). It was in 1961 that we received our first visitors from Misburg, while exchange visits from Oissel began in the early 1990’s. From Bollnas we have received visits from dance groups, choirs and school groups.
In order to provide itineraries for our guests we hold fund raising events during the course of the year in order to take them to places of interest and hold social events to entertain them during their stay with host families.
We usually hold planning meetings ten times a year in members’ homes. If you would like more information please contact Michael Kennett on 07939 936454
