AT THE Town Twinning group’s annual meeting the committee were re-elected with Garth Steadman remaining as chairman, Susan Garnett as secretary and Dave Collier as treasurer.

Plans were discussed regarding a group of artists from Zrece who are to visit the town in September. Transport and catering would be needed and perhaps accommodation. Contacct the secretary on 015396-21138.

There followed a report on the twinning group's visit to renew Twinning vows in May 2015 and the 10-year anniversary celebrations, which dominated much of 2015.

In February, 18 students from Sedbergh, Settlebeck and Queen Elizabeth Schools paid a return visit to Zreče.

The students were greeted warmly and it was good to see students continuing the friendships made in the year before.

Several Zreče students who had left school returned especially to join in the various activities and excursions arranged for the trip.

Meanwhile David Burbidge continues to help keep the Twinning alive with choir exchanges between the UK and Slovenia, maintaining friendships and bringing pleasure to all.

Throughout the years of town twinning activities the group has been grateful for grants and sponsorships from local and other organisations.

The TTG is appreciative of the regular subscriptions paid by members of the town twinning club and is happy to welcome new members.
