Spring/Summer Edition 2011
For those members recently
joined or those who were unable
to join us at our Nouvel An or
French Film Night, we wish you a
very warm welcome. We hope
the programme offers a wide
choice this year and look forward
to seeing you and your friends
throughout the coming year.
Update on our visit in October
2010:- A small group from
Storrington and a very large
group from Villerest visited
Cerrione, Italy for their official
Twinning Ceremony with
Pielenhofen, Bavaria. The entire
village turned out to participate,
to welcome us warmly. During
our 4-day visit, we were catered
for by the local people of
Cerrione and were also treated
to a traditional Bavarian dish of
"sausage & sauerkraut" cooked
by our German guests all
washed down with a tankard of
beer, made from a local brewery
in Pielenhofen. There was
much goodwill and many
speeches, all translated so that
the representatives of all four
countries could understand. It
was a multi-cultural, multi-lingual
European experience on which
we in Storrington hope to build
and form the same kind of links
and family friendships which
have already been established
with Villerest.
We have invited a small group
from Cerrione to visit Storrington
this coming September. We
hope you will also give our new
friends a very warm welcome as
this will be there first time to the
UK. Photographs of the weekend
can be found on our website.

Date of visit yet to be confirmed.
A short visit to Pielenhofen may
also be on our future “diary of
events”.

turns into a passion for revenge
after a thoughtless incident from
the past thwarted her own
musical ambitions. 10 years
later she prepares to act out a
chilling revenge. With Catherine
Frot and Déborah François.
Without your support we would
not be able to run some of these

Children’s Exchange
8-14th July visit
Villerest have invited a group of
children, up to the age of 16
years for an exchange visit. The
week will be full of activities and
offers a great opportunity to not
only stay with a French family
but also to meet the children
from Cerrione, Italy. Obviously
accommodation will be met but
the cost of the flight will be down
to the individual. Please contact
the Secretary directly if you are
interested.
