The Upper Culm Twinning Association (UCTA) enjoyed a great fund raising Burns Night Supper at Hemyock recently. The Haggis was ‘piped in’ and the ceremonial provided by members of the traditionally dressed Caledonian Demonstration Dance Team. The event was sold out with a 5 course dinner being served by members of the UCTA committee, and catering provided by Karen Pinder. "UCTA events are fast becoming the trend setter for social occasions in the area" said one of the revellers.
Mike Eastick UCTA’s secretary was able to tell guests that they looked forward to hosting around 55 French friends in May when there will be a formal sealing of the twinning arrangements after 11 years of relationship and visits to the Pays de la Loire area of France.   The road signs at the entrances to the area will soon reveal that the Twinning activities have been officially recognised he said.

Twinning is educational, interesting and fun – and he invited people to become members of the Association and to make new friends internationally. Contact Mike on 01823 681651.
