Aboyne set to welcome its twins from Martignas-sur-Jalle A lot of planning is under way as the Aboyne Twinning Association finesse the suggestions and proposals for the 2022 visit of our French visitors and friends from Martignas-sur-Jalle this summer. Arriving on August 4 for five nights, ATA members have not been short of ideas of how to entertain the visitors, who hail from the outskirts of Bordeaux. The biggest attraction for the Martignas inhabitants is undoubtedly the wonderful Aboyne Games, around which a balance of local (and perhaps further afield) activities and events will make their stay memorable and reinforce our twinning partnership. A Twinning tent is planned for the Games so do remember this on the day, and come and say ‘Bonjour’. All the answers to your Twinning questions can be answered there! Spoiler alert: our French guests stay in the homes of Twinning members in Aboyne and surrounding villages, and this is reciprocated by hosts in Martignas. It really is all about friendship, experiencing a different culture and
country to ours, and having lots of fun too. Families, singles, couples will all find something to delight and enjoy. If being part of the Twinning Association is something you have considered, you are very welcome to contact: aboynetwinning.chair@gmail.com
