Do look on the Holywell School website www.holywell.kent.sch.uk and also Upchurch Matters www.upchurchmatters.co.uk for our news as well. Also, try looking at www.ferques.fr for interesting stuff ! Under Tourisme, for example, there are details of a Chambre d’hote, which we know is really good !

Bastille Day Street Fair in Ferques – The Bastille Day Fair in Ferques was much enjoyed by a good contingent from Upchurch, although the weather was a bit mixed. Our cups of tea and coffee, beer, bread, barbequed sausages etc were in a tent. We had a wonderful stall of bric-a-brac out on the streets with all the other stalls and the Twinning Group would like to thank all those people who donated such a variety of things for us to sell on the day and all the people who came over to Ferques on the day. In the end we made over £350 from all our efforts.

Sports Day – as I write this, we are eagerly anticipating a really fun day on the Recreation Ground on Saturday 27th August (from 11am + BBQ from 12 noon, in case some of you get this early!).
Diary dates for you:
Saturday 15th 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. Still no details yet, but do consider going over to France that weekend for a jolly good time!
Saturday 5th November – Scout Group Fireworks at Westmoor Farm – Find the Twinning Group, who will be selling their famous, delicious bacon rolls again!
And for 2012:
Saturday 27th January 2012 – Quiz night at our School – always popular, more details nearer the time!
Sunday 15th April 2012 – Upchurch Choral Society will be performing in the church at Ferques – again more details nearer the time.
FRIENDS OF THE TWINNING GROUP – we are 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.
