2012 is looking busy for the Twinning Group. Here are some events you may be interested in:
March – Holywell School trip– the children of years 5 and 6 visited the school in Ferques on 20th March. They had a really lovely time with the French children in class and then visited the Nausicaä Sea Life centre in Boulogne. It was a hugely valuable and much-enjoyed trip.
Sunday 15th April 2012 – Upchurch Choral Society trip - Our Choral Society will be giving a concert in the church in Ferques. It is due to start at 5.30pm and end about 6.30pm, free admission. Afterwards, there will be a reception in the Mairie before we all come home. The choir is going by coach and we hope some of you might come along and listen! Do contact us for any details. It would make a great ending to a day out in France.
Thursday 17th May 2012 – Annual General Meeting – at 7.30pm in Holywell School Hall. Come and hear more about us and enjoy refreshments afterwards. All are welcome to this AGM and we would love to see everyone there.
Saturday 14th July – Bastille Day in Ferques – We’ll be having a stall at the street fair in Ferques as usual this year. We will be plying everyone with English food and beverages, plus we will sell good quality, donated items to raise some funds. This event is well worth a visit as part of a day out and to see if you can pick up any bargains on the other stalls! If you have any items that would be suitable for our stall, do let us know – we can collect if required. See you there, hopefully!
Saturday 25th August. 2012 – Sports Day – this is now an annual affair and this year will be in Ferques. We will be arranging a coach so think about a day out with lots of sporty fun in France that day, plus food will be available. Cost of a seat on the coach will only be £10. This is always most enjoyable and well supported so register your interest as soon as possible.
October – Anniversary Event – Originally planned for March; this will now be on 7th October and will take the form of an outing somewhere in Kent. A coach load of Ferques residents will be coming over the water to join us. Watch this space!
