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.

CANTA AGM Wednesday 3rd June 6pm East Committee Room Municipal Buildings Crewe - all welcome.
Our twin towns joined 'the wake' as tbe Borough of Crewe and Nantwich was replaced by Cheshire East Council.
The Borough Council invited representatives from our twin towns to a series of special events over the weekend of 29th and 30th March. CANTA members took charge of the very successful visit. We received verbal and written congratulations on our great British welcome
from Bischofsheim.
The whole weekend was five star. The hair stood up at the back of my neck when the National Anthem was sung in Chester
and from Mâcon.
