LINKS WITH ORGANISATIONS / LINKS MIT ORGANISATIONEN

We have been making contact and building good links with other local organisations.
We have had several meetings with representatives of the High School and we look forward to giving our support for school exchange visits whenever this is needed. A County Youth Officer is also working with the school to explore a different basis to normal school exchanges.

The Youth Football Chairmen of each town are in contact with each other and the Shanty choirs of Otterndorf and Sheringham have exchanged invitations and CD's of their recordings.

A dance group from Wanna, near Otterndorf, had hoped to join in our Potty Festival this year but could not arrange suitable flights, and hope to join us on some future occasion.

George Bullen and I are working together to encourage more exchanges with similar interest groups in our two towns and he is writing regular articles for the local Independent News to promote our Association and extend our membership

SOCIAL EVENT / RAISING FUNDS (SERF) NEW / SOZIALCFall- / ANHEBENCKapital (SKLAVEC) NACHRICHTEN

Events got off to a flying start at the April Coffee Morning, which raised £176 for the Association funds.
Thirty-four members, their friends and other visitors enjoyed a very successful morning at the Southlands Hotel with some interest being shown by potential new members. Our thanks to Tel & Tony for their hospitality.

The May Social Evening was not quite so well supported but a noisy, hectic, hilarious Beetle Drive was enjoyed by those who did attend.

Thirty-two members braved the traditional English BBQ weather (cold, wet and windy) on 17th June, and were well rewarded. As well as steak and sausages cooked by Chef Brian, delicious salads and "puds" were made by Maureen,
Our thanks to both for a thoroughly enjoyable time. Roll on the next one!

The next date for your diary is the Sheringham Open Gardens Day on Sunday 15th July - Details, complete with map and list of participating gardens will be available from the Library, Sheringham Tourist Information Office and the Jolly Tar.
A charge of £2.00 per head covers all gardens.

Editor's Notes / HerausgeberAnmerkungen

We distribute copies of this newsletter to all members and in the past to those Otterndorfers who made voluntary contributions to our funds which we understand may not continue. We are also uncertain of the circulation of the recent Newsletters we sent to Otterndorf

The committee believes that our Otterndorf friends would like to be kept in touch with our Sheringham activities and we have started a list of their names and addresses so that our Newsletters can be sent to them directly.

If you would like to add your Ottendorf contact's name and address to the list we will send them a copy of each newsletter. If there is sufficient interest then we shall consider producing a German language version for our German friends.
Evelyn Meakin is holding the name and address list and would be pleased to hear from you.

This initiative gives you, the members, an opportunity of not only involving your Otterndorf contacts but also contributing to this newsletter any item of general interest for publication and distribution in the August Newsletter.

The final copy date is 6th August but I shall be pleased to receive your contribution as soon as you can put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard!
Yes, The Association is now on the Internet and our newsletters will be available in the way mentioned above or by simply right clicking and selecting the Print option of any page here.
Our email address is twinning@sheringhamtown.co.uk
