2011 seems to be getting busy for Whitstable Twinning Association.

With six partnership towns and four 'link' towns, there's always something going on - and now the WTA has a new website to keep members  in touch with it all.

The association's annual meeting will be on March 24th at Whitstable Castle, starting 7 for 7.30pm, when musical entertainment will be provided by Whitstable Recorder Ensemble.

Before that, a couple of social events are lined up: on 18th March the French group are having a bistro evening at the Parish Social Centre in Castle Road, and the following day there's a coffee morning and sale of goods open to all at St Alphege Church, 9am-midday.

Whitstable is twinned with:

  • Dainville in France
  • Borken, Germany,
  • Albertslund, Denmark
  • Molndal, Sweden
  • Ricany, Czech Republic
  • Grabow, Germany
The link towns are: L'Viv in the Ukraine, East Renfewshire in Scotland, Bolkow in Poland and Sisimiut in Greenland.

The association formed in 1983 and members reckon it is probably the busiest in the UK, with hundreds of visits to and fro each year involving about a thousand people. It is independent and self-funding. If you want to know, more visit the excellent website or pop along to their coffee morning.
