On Thursday 25th July the people of Dorsten came for their annual visit to Crawley.
Crawley has been twinned with Dorsten in Germany since 1974 and over this time many strong friendships have built up.
Over the years, Crawley and Dorsten Twinning Associations have been creating new links and strengthening existing ones through cultural, social and educational exchange visits. In addition, a number of organisations based in both towns have arranged their own visits based on their own particular interests such as the Weald Choir.
Crawley Town Twinning Association is a voluntary organisation and they are always looking for new members to ensure that the links between the two towns continue to grow and thrive for future generations.
Anybody can become involved either as individuals, clubs, families or societies. Perhaps you belong to a club and would like to share ideas with your counterparts in Dorsten, perhaps you have a business and would like to sponsor an activity or maybe you’re keen to learn about German culture and learn the language.
We spoke to Ian, Marita and Mayor Carol Eade about the visit and their plans.
