School Visit from Schmallenberg |
|
30 schoolchildren and 2 teachers from our twin town of Schmallenberg visited Burgess Hill recently while staying in Sussex. The Town Council organised a reception at the Council Offices where they were met by the Chairman of the Council, Chris Thomas-Atkin and given an interesting and entertaining talk by the Town Crier, Neil Batsford.
Afterwards members of the Twinning Association showed them something of Burgess Hill. |

French Evening - May 2011 |
|
Our treasurer, André Klimek, organised our annual French Evening, which this year was based around the region of Alsace. The evening began with an illustrated talk about the area and this was followed by short general quiz about France. It concluded with light refreshments and Alsace wine accompanied by some French music. |
|
We had a change of venue this year and went to The Chalk Pit Inn, Lewes. 22 members enjoyed skittles and a choice of basket meals and everyone voted the evening a great success. Another similar event is being planned for the autumn. |

Antarctica - January 2011 |
|
Edna showed us pictures taken during her 2010 voyage to Antarctica, including visits to South Georgia and the Falklands. The scenery was spectacular and the penguins proved very popular. On her return journey she made a detour inland to see the magnificent Iguassu Falls on the border between Brazil and Argentina. |

German Evening - December 2010 |
|
At our Christmas meeting, Angela gave an illustrated talk about her trip with Edna to Travemunde and Lubeck in Northern Germany - wonderful coastal scenery, historic city architecture and lots of marzipan.
The talk was followed by a light-hearted quiz, with a chocolate theme, and German food and wine. |
