AGM – this was held on 20th June in Holywell School. Attendance was poor, two of our committee being indisposed but also only three members of the public were present. This is disheartening for our hard-working group as the AGM was well advertised. The committee was elected en bloc but new members will be vital in the coming year if the Twinning is to continue. Finances have been fair, with local fund-raising events such as the Quiz Night being supported and we are proud that we are able to help Holywell School maintain its links with the schools in Ferques.
Sunday 14th July 2013– Bastille Day Fair in Ferques. Four committee members, plus spouses, duly visited Ferques for the weekend of Bastille Day where we had our bric-a-brac stall at the street fair. Thank you to all who contributed to this stall.

This was next to a marquee where we were selling our English type goodies such as cups of tea and Kent brewed beer plus bacon rolls!
The day was warm and sunny. Ferques residents were out in force and lots of them visited us, including the Mayor, M. Denis Joly, and other members of the Twinning organisation out there.
It was a lovely day and we made a bit of money for the group.
SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2013 - TWINNING SPORTS DAY!
At Upchurch Cricket Club on Holywell Lane – from 10:00am into the afternoon. We hope to see lots of you there and there will be a coachful of Ferques residents coming over to join in. Many thanks to the Cricket Club for making their wonderful facilities available to us. There is some parking space, and loads of grass to play games and sports, also the bar will be open if you wish to purchase drinks and we will have a barbeque available around lunch time, for which there will be a small charge.
This promises to be a grand day full of fun and games and an opportunity to mingle with many friends of all ages from Ferques.
