WHAT INTERNATIONAL "TWINNING" IS ALL ABOUT A story from Northcote in about 1987

The Official launch of the twinning with Boston and Fresnay was a big event. 

Spilsby took a local community Brass Band and their were representatives from local football teams, young farmers clubs and other associations.

The actual event took a whole week end, Saturday and Sunday.

Visitors from Lincolnshire were accomodated in local homes and several families still maintain happy relationships even today. 

Now to the main theme of our story......what twinning really means.

I was still working for Mortons Publishers at this time, the year we had created the Spilsby News. The local newspaper for Spilsby and the villages around the area.

At some stage in the proceedings in France, among many different subjects, we were discussing the fact that Spilsby had a special school for the mentally handicapped. Eresby School.

I explained the kind of things that were taught at the school which were not just academic subjects but also practical things like household jobs and the kitchen and home.
