| − | In Peter Trotter’s article on the Twinning anniversary in the last issue, for obvious reasons he was unable to tell the whole story. True, the first public mention about the Village twinning was by the late Bernard Houghton, but it was an idea put to him by – Peter.

| − | When as the then Chairman of the – Parish Council I called that first meeting to discuss the idea, few of us would have known much about the practicalities of twinning, if Peter had not done his homework on the subject. After many months of hard work by the steering committee, it was decided to test the suitability of Hambye. Peter and Lilhan travelled to Normandy - paying their own travel and hotel expenses - and so the grant from the Twinning Association of Great Britain for that purpose was left intact, thus starting the Association off with a healthy bank balance.

| − | There have been many memorable twinning exchanges, but none more so than that first one on the last weekend in July of 1981, when a handful of us travelled over for the signing ceremony. For me it was one of the most memorable and treasured moments of my life, for which I say “thank you” to Peter because without him I am sure twinning in a small community like ours would never have got off the ground.

| − | On another subject, can I say how much I agree with the contents of Michael Hardy’s letter regarding Hallmark on the Internet. Personally, I have already had enough of the “w, w’s, dots and slashes etc., but we have to accept this is the modern form of communication, but surely not for a small village magazine that goes into every house in the Village, 80% of which like me have no idea of the system, or any likelihood of having the availability.

| − | I trust that when the new Hall 1s up and running the practice of putting up notices on the notice boards or telegraph poles to invite us to such and such a function is not forgotten, and we do not have to “surf the Net” to find out what is on and order our tickets; if so I am afraid the dedication, commitment and support the Hall has received over the last 75 years will not be forthcoming.
