The Lymington & District Town Twinning Association was originally formed in 1982/3 to further social, cultural, and business exchanges and foster friendship between our communities.
We stay with host families who are usually members of their respective Twinning organisation. A programme is organised by both our twinned town and us. The participation is voluntary so guests can "do their own thing" but the activities are usually very interesting, so most join in. There is always a communal dinner to celebrate the visit and this is always well attended.
All that is needed is the cost of the fare plus a ten pound administration fee per person. The travel arrangements are organised by the sub committee organising the visit, and group travel rates are usually arranged.
All accommodation, activities etc are paid for by the host town. This is reciprocal. - Gerry Rickman
For more information please contact the secretary Lynn Banfield or the chairman Gerry Rickman - see details below

Mosbach, a famous medieval town, is situated in the unique Neckar River Valley (near Heidelberg) with its romantic castles, legendary forests and gentle hills of the Odenwald. website

Almansa; the most remarkable feature of Almansa is its impressive 14th century castle built on top of a great rock overlooking the city. The Palace of the Counts of Cirat with a beautiful frontage is well worth visiting along with many of the 17th century buildings. Other buildings to visit include the local arts centre which can be found at the old communal granary, the Parish of Asunción, the Convent of the Augustinians, the Convent of San Francisco, the Hermitage of San Blas, and the Almansa Dam said to be the oldest masonry gravity dam still in use.
There are a series religious processions beginning with the Moors and Christians in May, San Juan in June, San Roque in August and San Francisco in October. website

Vitré, on the eastern side of Brittany, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in France, its attractive old-town centre is positively overflowing with 15th to 17th century half-timbered houses and brimming with cafes and bars.
The Gothic church of Notre-Dame (15th-16th century), with an external pulpit and a fine interior (triptych consisting of 32 panels of Limoges enamel), seems entirely in place against the background of the old town walls and towers.
The castle (15th century) is one of the finest fortresses in Brittany and today shelters the town hall, the museum.
The market day is on Monday. website
