Twinning started in 1957 with the town of Crewe twinning with Mâcon in France. The Borough of Crewe and Nantwich continued the work and added Bischofsheim in Germany in 1991. In 2003 CANTA was formed from local volunteers to administer the twinning arrangements. Its first significant act was to make a friendship agreement with Dzierżoniów in Poland.
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.
