A Big Thank You

It takes a lot of people many hours to organise each twinning trip. Hosts need to be found, events co-ordinated, coaches guided, parking spaces located and bands booked. We are deeply grateful to all of those who have helped to make this visit such a success - and in particular:

• The Hurst Green Twinning committee - Derek Johnson, Neil Thomas, Karen THomas and Liz Ripley - and their respective families.
• The Ellerhoop Twinning committee.
• The host families.
• Our race night sponsors:
  • The Royal George Eurasia Restaurant, Station Road, Hurst Green.
  • Direct Fire Protection - www.directfire.co.uk
  • Pat and Maurice Bogue.
  • Robert Barden
  • Steve Ripley
• Morag McLaughlin
• Lillian and Robin Cruse
• Frances Terry
• Mr Penock, for allowing the coach to be parked on his land.

I apologise if any names have been left out. If you think you should be included please let me know.
