November 20, 2015, update:
Thanks to all of you who attended our November 3rd meeting, and thanks again to Bonnie for preparing the minutes. Please note there will be no December meeting, and that our next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, January 14th. We’re hoping to receive an update from Gravesham Twinning in the next couple of weeks, and we will keep you up-to-date on plans for their May, 2016 visit.
Notes from the November 3 meeting:
On Monday, Oct. 25, the event planning subcommittee met at the Egg and I Restaurant to start putting together an itinerary for the upcoming 2016 visit. Members had provided a number of suggestions which the subcommittee considered. After much discussion and additional research, a first draft was developed and emailed to all members for consideration and discussion.
In previous meetings we have discussed the possibility of expanding our twinning opportunities with other locations/countries. It was suggested that we consider reaching out to the twinning organizations in France and Germany that twin with Gravesham. We could extend an invitation to each to send a representative who would travel with the Gravesham visitors. An invitation could lead to the possibility of establishing a long term arrangement.
We received word this week from Gravesham Twinning that 17 of their members are interested in visiting Chesterfield May 28 to June 4, 2016. This number may increase (or decrease) as we get closer to the May visit. We are arranging a Skype call with Gravesham representatives in the next couple of weeks to find out more regarding their interests and plans.
Our next Chesterfield Twinning Association (CTA) meeting will be at 6 pm, Tuesday, November 3rd, at Extra Billy’s, 1110 Alverser Drive in Midlothian. The main focus of this meeting will be discussion of possible activities during Gravesham Twinning’s May 2016 visit to Chesterfield.
Our next Chesterfield Twinning Association meeting will be on Tuesday, October 13, at the Central Library and the public is invited to come and learn more about our association. The library is publicizing this meeting, and we’re giving a short presentation.
We had a very productive meeting on September 8th with 17 in attendance. Thank you to Bonnie for your work on our meeting minutes. We welcomed new members and are looking forward getting to know our travelling friends. Our group will be busy this fall. Even if you cannot volunteer come by and visit us at the following upcoming events:
