Our twin towns joined 'the wake' as the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich was replaced by Cheshire East Council. There were a series of special events over the weekend of 29th and 30th March. Canta met the representatives and escorted them throughout.
In Crewe there was a formal unveiling of the twin towns signpost presented by Bischofsheim as part of the 50'th celebrations.
In Nantwich the Rotary Club provided guides for a tour of the town.
A Canta trip down the river in Chester and lunch in a riverside restaurant was much appreciated and our guests were very impressed by the County Council's commemoration service in the
Cathedral. We received verbal and written congratulations on our great British welcome
from Bischofsheim.
The whole weekend was five star. The hair stood up at the back of my neck when the National Anthem was sung in Chester
and from Mâcon.
Quel beau souvenir nous gardons de ce merveilleux séjour à Crewe! Je voudrais te renouveler tous nos remerciements, nous avons été Françoise Lindeperg et moi-même ainsi d'ailleurs que la délégation municipale, émerveillés par la qualité de votre accueil, les belles choses que nous avons vues et les bons repas que nous avons faits grâce à toi.Vive le twinning ! Salutations les plus amicales. Pierre JOUREAU
This was one of the much appreciated meals at 'the Residence' in Nantwich
