Friends of Nevers host French visitors in October 2022

A splendid weekend was enjoyed by all who were able to participate in the visit of 11 Nivernais at the beginning of October! The sun shone on all our activities which included a fascinating tour of Middle Temple and lunch in the impressive Great Hall;  an informative boat ride on the Thames; an historical guided tour of Wheathampstead followed by a copious buffet lunch at The Brocket Arms. Below are a few photos from the weekend. Members of the association joined the hosts in the activities. Our guest spent Sunday relaxing with their hosts before the an amazing farewell dinner at Lussmans.

The natural bonhomie, fortified by a 3 year absence, endured throughout the weekend and ensured the continuation of our association. That, despite Covid and Brexit difficulties, our link is as strong as ever, is a testament to the strength and importance of our twinning, for which we need your continued support. New members of all ages are always needed to ensure continuity, so please SPREAD THE WORD and encourage anyone you can think of to join us, not only in our activities in St Albans but also on our visits to Nevers.

An invitation for 2023 has been extended by the Amicale de Nevers; we are currently awaiting confirmation of dates (most likely during the first half of June) once they have assured sufficient hosts to accommodate us all.

The committee see exciting times ahead, especially with a very special anniversary in 2024, but we need you to make them happen.
