TWINNERS  FRENCH CRICKET TREAT

By Colin Tearle

On a sunny weekend in September 20 local members of the Swingfield and Aviron Twinning Association paid a three-day visit to the twinned Norman village.

Arriving on Friday, they were immediately whisked off by the various French host families where they would stay for the long weekend.

Needless to say, the fine weather always adds to the warmth of the Norman hospitality and the following day a coach party of English and French twinners spent the day by the River Loire in the pretty town of Amblois, which is known for its remarkable castle and the Leonardo Da Vinci museum.

Initially Sunday was spent relaxing with the various host families, lunch being a barbeque. During the afternoon Aviron had its annual village fete, with the main attraction being a light hearted cricket match between teams of mixed nationality and gender played in front of the mairie.
