TENTERDEN TOWN COUNCIL
TWINNING with AVALLON

The aim of the association is to promote and organise exchanges of residents and friends between the towns and to encourage commerce and friendship within and between the townspeople. On exchange visits the host town usually provides accommodation in individual members' homes. Also, during the year, there is a social programme for members of the association.
For more information or to join the association telephone: 01580 761165 or email: Hvsaroberts@aol.com
