Each year the Twinning Associations of the three towns get together to review the previous year and to plan the year ahead. This event is informally called "The Summit".
The meeting is also a perfect opportunity to initiate links from other groups, societies and associations between the three towns.
If you are part of a group that would like to be introduced to similar ones in Blois or Waldshut-Tiengen, then please do not hesitate to CONTACT US with more details about your group and the sort of connection you are looking to have.

2022 - A TIME FOR PLANNING
Following on from a very successful A.G.M. The re-elected Chairman Paul Mockford said now is the time to plan and promote Twinning for the future. He said, "The affects of covid-19 and the pandemic has had a devastating affect on our Twinning activities and his aim now was to encourage new clubs and societies to become involved in Twinning, we have to become pre-active in promoting our Twinning activities if twinning is to survive."
Visit of Waldstadt Fager Band for the Lewes Bonfiire Celebrations
This coming year the visit from Waldshut-Tiengen of the Waldstadt Fager Band will at last go ahead. After their planned visit to Lewes was postponed because of covid-19 the Band will once again be visiting Lewes to play with the Commercial Square Bonfire Society for the Lewes Bonfire Celebrations. The band will be the hosts of C.S.B.S. It is also hoped that Mayor of Waldshut and other civic dignitaries will visit.
Three Town Summit Meeting
For the last two years the annual three town summit meeting has been held on Zoom with so much uncertainty we were unable to plan for the coming year. This year we are all excited to once again meet face to face again with our colleagues in Blois. The Summit is planned for October and we are hoping to be sending a good few members from Lewes. Amongst the things we will be discussing will be the celebrations to celebrate the 60 years of Twinning between Lewes and Blois and 50 years of Twinning between Lewes and Waldshut-Tiengen.
