Julie and I had the delight of being invited to a “Galette des Rois” evening at the home of Stephanie and Henry Scrase last Saturday. The aim was to celebrate all the work of the Buckingham Twinning Association and begin to make plans for 2018. (Although it was mostly about wine, cheese and the delicious pudding called a Galette de Rois!)
We met some old friends (there are many town councillors involved with the Twinning Association) and made some new ones. It was a sumptuous, warm and welcoming evening.
If you would like to be involved in supporting the Association, please use the website linked above to make contact. The only limit is your imagination as to what more ways there might be to connect our town with Mouvaux and all the people in both places.
There are also the beginnings of a connection with a town in Germany: Neukirchen-Vluyn although this is not yet formalised into a twinned town as such. But... if you would like it be so, and you have German links in someway, please contact Stephanie who could talk you through what that entails. It would be lovely for Buckingham to formalise this link more but it will take some people to make this so. Could that be you?
