New Milton Twinning Association
The towns of New Milton and Canteleu (in Rouen, France) formally signed a Twinning Charter on 20 January 2001.
Its objectives are:
- To establish and maintain reciprocal links of friendship.
- To encourage and develop mutual understanding and respect between the inhabitants of New Milton and Canteleu.
- To promote exchanges between young people, adults, clubs, associations, groups, and all categories of people in New Milton and Canteleu.
- By this Charter, the towns of New Milton and Canteleu commit themselves to a solid and binding friendship between their peoples.
Prior to the signing of the Charter, The New Milton and District Twinning Association was formed in 1991 and a link was made with Canteleu at that time.
The “Twinners” enjoy coffee mornings and pastries together, partake in an informal French circle for conversation, and share a varied social events calendar.
They also arrange group visits to France and continue to maintain friendships and regular contact with the French “Twinners”.
The Twinning Association have also formed a friendship link with Buchholz in der Nordheide, a German town in Lower Saxony near Hamburg, which has been twinned with Canteleu for more than 30 years.
Canteleu is also twinned with Wolow, Poland & Kongoussi, Burkina Faso.
The Association look forward to welcoming new members.
