Town twinning started after the Second World War to bring the people of Europe closer together and foster mutual understanding. Crewe linked with its first continental town in 1957 and the connection is still going strong. We now have links with three towns and there's a lot going on.
Groups as diverse as choral societies, schools, fire-fighters, football clubs and girl guides have benefited from twinning activities and visits. Twinning has provided lifelong friendships, a greater appreciation of other cultures and languages, and the opportunity to have a great deal of fun. We have funding to assist projects.

Are you wanting to improve your French? You could join the South Cheshire French Circle which meets on the first Monday night of the month in Nantwich Museum - contact details on the CANTA page, or you could try out the Mâcon French language summer school in July. There's a link to a CANTA member describing her experiences on the INFO-BANK page. 
CANTA helped sponsor the visit of a youth football team from Dzierżoniów.
It's a long cold winter in Germany and you are fed up with struggling to get your range lit. No, not this year! We're back in the '30's and luckily a Bischofsheim engineer came to the rescue.
We have now received some details of the Mâcon photographic competition for its twin towns. Pictures of the display show the impressive images submitted by the Crewe Photographic Society that so impressed the judges.
This year's visitors to Mâcon will find a splendid new bridge to take them over the Saône. Pity about the name!
We now have a guestbook. Please feel free to contribute.
