Apologies
We apologise for the lack of the forums at the moment due to a hacking attempt by some low life character yesterday, we are working hard to recover the boards and they will be active again just as soon as it is possible.
Welcome to the UK Town Twinning Portal
www.towntwinning.org.uk
A portal to the world of Twinning, open to all UK "Twinners".
This is the site for everyone interested in Town Twinning activities within the United Kingdom. The place to find out about your local twinning groups, to discover how to contact your local association and who they are twinned with.
For current and potential twinning groups this is the place to discover how to go about setting up a twinning link, and where to go to find a potential twinning partner, to check current information concerning twinning, travel information, and useful links..
This site also includes an article section which contains factual and “how to” articles, feature articles, and amusing stories, a news section about the activities of British groups and a recipe section for you to submit your favourite international receipes..
Other features are planned for introduction as the site grows. In other words, it is intended that this will develop into a “one stop” centre for all twinning matters.
The Forums are the home to several discussion points, such as "Is twinning still relevant now?", "How do we appeal to new and especially younger members?", "Do we get sufficient support from our councils/local community?", these are just a few items that have been raised and for which we would appreciate your views, but the forums/discussiion boards are open for YOU to raise ANY twinning related subject you wish...........please feel free to raise your question or to express your views.
If we do not have the information you are looking for, please let us know and we will endeavour to help. You can contact us by post, telephone, email, or by a message in the forums.
