Friends of Alzey and their German guests
Harpenden’s Friends of Alzey played host to 32 of their German counterparts at the end of August.
The German visitors came to Harpenden for a long weekend of activities that included a visit to the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, excursions with their host families and a walk along the Wheathampstead Heritage Trail.
The visit began with a reception hosted by Town Mayor Mary Maynard at Park Hall.
“We had a great time with our German guests”, said John Lough, Chairman of the Friends of Alzey. We were delighted to see old friends and make new ones. These personal contacts are the essence of twinning.”
Plans are already in progress for the visit to Alzey next year.
