Dear Member,

Another year has come and gone in the life of the Association. It only seemed yesterday that we were sitting down and planning with our friends from Aviron last year's programme, and so it was that the annual meeting of the two Committees recently took place in Swingfield to agree a programme of events for 2006.

Following the success of last year experiment to extend the annual visits to 3 days/2 nights it has been decided to continue with this arrangement. Listed below is the agreed programme of events with the final details being circulated later.

Late June - Swingfield to visit Aviron

Early September - Aviron to visit Swingfield

First week of July - Selsted School to receive pupils from Aviron Primary School for 5 days

12th November - Mayor of Aviron to attend the Remembrance Day Commemorations.

FUNDRAISING

On Saturday 25th February in the new Community hall at Selsted School we will be holding a joint fund raising venture with the Friends of Selsted School. This will be a Race-Nite/American Supper starting at 7pm, entry free. 

Further details can be obtained from C. Tearle on 01303 892621.

Swingfield Parish Council has decided to continue its financial support to the Association with a most welcome grant of £350.00.

Finally, new members and ideas are always most welcome - we are generally surprised at how relaxed our twice-yearly visits with the people from Aviron really are and just how many private friendships and subsequent visits are now a feature of twinning
