The Twinning Association

June 1980 report in Hallmark from the Twinning Steering Committee.

We can't begin to express the frustration after two years of effort. Its unbelievable that no illage in Europe is interested in twinning with us. Finding the right partner of course is important. The latest investigation is taking place with Hambe a small agricultural town of 1,318 inhabitants, 317 kms from Paris.

A Chance Encounter.  Whilst touring in France with the children, we noticed a signpost to Hambe, the village with which Lacey Green was to be twinned, so we thought we would have a look at it.   We drove into the square only to see Ted on the balcony of the Mayor`s parlour expressing greetings from the people of Lacey Green to the people of Hambe.   He looked resplendent, wearing his chairman`s Chain of Office.
