Dear Friends,
Plans to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the twinning of Southborough & High Brooms with the town of Lambersart in France are well in hand. I hope as many members as possible will be willing and able to join in the celebrations. With this Newsletter is included a lot of information about future events and some good news of things that have taken place. Congratulations to the Southborough football team, the Ridgewaye Sweepers, for their recent triumph in Lambersart. You can read an account of their exploits on this blog.
I want to thank the committee for all the excellent work that they have undertaken to further other friendships and involvements. Sometimes successful, sometimes not so successful but keep up the good work. St Matthews School has expressed a wish to form a connection with a primary school in Lambersart. Things look promising so we wish them every success for the future.
I hope the weather will improve and look forward to meeting everyone at more than one event during the year
God Bless
Colette Marsh.

Dear Friends,
How hardy we English have to be to cope with our ever changing weather. I don't know whether to get out my sun hat, my cardigan or my wellies. Rumour has it that I might need my snowshoes in November. Will we all be snowed in again? I must remember to stock up with a few extra tins.
What a wonderful trip we had to Arras, a long tiring day, but very enjoyable. The weather was very hot and sunny and so it was for our very successful barbecue last August. My thanks to the organisers of both these events. But the year has not ended yet and I hope to see a few new faces attending the Soirée DVD evening on the 28th. A chance to improve your French and nibble popcorn in the back row, beware "the corsiteer". Keep practising your pétanque, gird you loins; 2012 looks like being a very eventful year.
Best wishes
Colette Marsh.
