Town Twinning

Aboyne set to welcome its twins from Marti gnas-sur-Jalle

A lot of planning is under way as the Aboyne Twinning Associati on fi nesse the suggesti ons and proposals for the 2022 visit of our French visitors and friends from Marti gnas-sur-Jalle this summer.

Arriving on August 4 for fi ve nights, ATA members have not been short of ideas of how to entertain the visitors, who hail from the outskirts of Bordeaux.

The biggest att racti on for the Marti gnas inhabitants is undoubtedly the wonderful Aboyne Games, around which a balance of local (and perhaps further afi eld) acti viti es 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 questi ons 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 Marti gnas.

It really is all about friendship, experiencing a diff erent culture and country to ours, and having lots of fun too.

Families, singles, couples will all fi nd something to delight and enjoy.

If being part of the Twinning Associati on is something you have considered, you are very welcome to contact:
