Twinners mark 20 year anniversary
Wednesday, 4.40pm - A GREAT time was had by all as more than 80 English and French people celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Burgh le Marsh Twinning Association.
There were old and new faces at the weekend as old friendships were renewed and new ones began with visitors from Beaumont-sur-Sarthe.
Chairman of the Burgh association Coun Neil Cooper said: "It was a good weekend with about 39 French visitors.
"There was a dinner and dance on Saturday night with an eight-course meal by Alvingham Caterers and a visit to Woodhall Spa and Tattershall Castle on the Sunday."
Coun Cooper and Burgh Mayor Coun John Panton were presented with medals which made them honoured citizens of Beaumont by French twinning chairman Claude Menard.
Balloons and flags decorated Burgh Village Hall for the dinner dance and the original twinning charter and photos of the first visit were on display.
The trips to The Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa and Tattershall Castle were well received by the French visitors.
Next year the Burgh group will visit France.
