Twinning

Following the highly successful visit of our French guests from our twin village of Socx in April, we are now planning our return trip to France at the end of October. Everybody – English and French alike – who took part in the events here of last April greatly enjoyed them.

 Twinning Charter

On the day, 12th April 2008, the people of Caton and Brookhouse are honoured to formalise the twinning of our villages with Socx (France).

On the 12th April 2008 a formal twinning agreement was signed by representatives of Caton-with-Littledale and Socx, France.

This ceremony, attended by 32 visitors from Socx and a number of host families and residents of Caton and Brookhouse, formalises the twinning of the two villages.

We have now heard that a party of about 36 people from Socx is planning to visit us from 10-13th April. They expect to arrive late afternoon on Thursday 10th and will leave on Sunday morning.

The Caton & Brookhouse Twinning Group Steering Committee would like to invite you to join them in the Victoria Institute for some French Cheese and Wine on the evening of January 12th between 7.30 & 9.30pm. There is no charge.

Many in the village will know (because there has been previous publicity in The Link) that about a year ago we received a twinning proposal from the village of Socx in northern France. Socx is a bit further from Dunquerque than we are from Lancaster.

Some of you may have been aware that a party of French visitors from Socx spent the Gala weekend in Caton. The are proposing to twin with Caton and Brookhouse and came over to have a look see.

A team of five people from the French Village of Socx are visiting Caton and Brookhouse over the Gala weekend. We have arranged accomodation for them with local people and they will be visiting the Gala on Saturday afternoon.
