Twinning Success

As The Fountain went to print, Aboyne’s Twinning Association hosts were getting ready to receive their French guests and friends. By the time you read this, new memories will have been made, and twinning members will have their return trip to Martignas sur Jalle to aspire to in 2024.

Did you go and visit the group in their tent at The Aboyne Highland Games?

And would you like to join them? aboynetwinning.secretary@gmail.com is the address you need to join in the interesting, fun, and varied experiences both here in the village (have you attended our coffee mornings? And shh, it’s rumoured another fondue evening is planned this winter), et en France aussi.

Pictured are a few of the activities enjoyed by this summer’s guests and hosts, from the group’s Facebook page.
