In order to support these events we also hold fund-raising events throughout the year. These are typically: dinners at Elwells, film nights, wine tastings, quiz nights etc. and are also social occasions.
It is not a requirement to speak French! If your French is not up to speed we try to pair people up so that at least one person in the party can speak both English and French. We also have strong ties with the Beverley branch of the Anglo French Society and many people are members of both organisations. You can find out more on the Beverley Anglo French Society on their web site www.beverleyanglofrenchsociety.co.uk.
Apart from being part of a group of friendly people you also get the following benefits:
Improve your French and knowledge of french culture
The chance to go on regular visits to France
The chance to act as hosts when our French counterparts visit Beverley
Invitations to our fund raising events throughout the year
Links With Other Twinning Groups
We work closely with the Beverley-Lemgo Twinning Association which manages the link with Lemgo and Stendhal in Germany.
We have developed a link with the Italian town of Fuccechio, which is a twin town of Nogent-sur-Oise.
How The Group Is Managed
The day to day activities are dealt with by the Officers. The Management Commitee deals with decisions on twinning visits, events, etc. Management Committee Meetings take place bi-monthly at The Monks Walk Inn, Highgate, Beverley, HU17 0DN. All members are welcome to attend.
