Upchurch Twinning Group News

Upchurch is twinned with commune of Ferques-Elinghen in Pas de Calais, France.

Diary dates for you: 

Thursday 14^th July 2011 – Bastille Day Street Fair in Ferques – the Twinning Groups from both Upchurch and Ferques will be there on their stall offering all sorts of goodies!  Come and have a day out or make it part of a longer break.

Saturday 27^th August 2011 – Sporty Day in Upchurch.  To be held in the Recreation Ground.  A chance to meet up with some of the residents of Ferques, including youngsters, and enjoy a day of games of all descriptions, or just to observe and cheer on!  A Police Dog Handling Team and, hopefully, the Fire Service will be there and we hope to have a BBQ in the middle somewhere.

Upchurch is twinned with Ferques

Saturday 15^th October – Anniversary Dinner and Dance in Ferques, again in Elinghen Village Hall.  This is an evening event, to include a meal and there will be some Celtic dancing this time.  No other details yet, but do consider going over to France that weekend for a jolly good time!

FRIENDS OF THE TWINNING GROUP – we are considering creating a “Friends of the Upchurch Twinning Group”.  These would be people willing to give practical support e.g. on stalls, or at events, giving hospitality etc etc.  Nothing too formal, but they would be people with a more firm connection to the committee, although of course the whole village of Upchurch is twinned with the whole village of Ferques.

BRIC-A-BRAC – we need your white elephants, unwanted presents, stuff you want to get rid of!  To sell on our stall at the Bastille Day fair (14^th July).  Just contact us and we’ll collect or receive your donations.  Many thanks in advance.
