Twinning Weekend in Champagne-sur-Oise
As in previous years we will be arranging group train travel from St Pancras to Champagne-sur-Oise. We warmly welcome all members on this trip, but it is of course subject to available accommodation in France, so please contact nigel.jeffery@welwyntwinning.org urgently, with your no-obligation expressions of interest. We will then liaise with France on hosting availability. We will confirm the situation as soon as possible, at which time we will ask for payment. (Please refer to our recent email newsletter for full details of costs.)
