This is an excerpt from an email recently received in our office,

Hello, I'm a local councillor and we would like to make a twinning between our city (Beuzeville in Normandy)and an English city..........

We're looking for a city in the area of the south coast, because we think that It would be easier for the people to meet themselves. In fact, we can take the Boat and debarquer to Newhaven. Beuzeville is situated near Honfleur / Deauville / Le Havre, and we are really a Both nice and touristic town with young people, we have so many activities (about sports, music and culture). And we're hoping to find an english city With the meme count of inhabitant, because we have about 3 500 people who are Living to Beuzeville...........
Thanks a lot, and apologizes me for my "english language mistakes" !!

With regard to the request from Beuzeville in Normandy, I am pleased to announce that a twinning link is in the process between a town in Sussex, both communities have made exploratory visits to each other and are now working on formalising the link.

Good luck and best wishes to the two towns involved and we look forward to including them in our directory and telling the story of the link development.

We are delighted to have been the catalyst to bring the two communities together. Yet another success for the activites of the UK Towntwinning Portal.
