Dawlish Twinning Association DTA

Dawlish Twinning Association DTA Twiinned with Carhaix-Plouguer in Brittany to promote cultural links and exchange visits Dawlish is twinned with Carhaix-Plouguer in central Brittany.

We run a four-day group visit each year, with Carhaix receiving visitors one year and Dawlish returning the hospitality the next. We have also fostered a link between Westcliff Primary Academy school in Dawlish and the primary school ‘Enfant Jésus’ in Brittany, with pupils exchanging information and resources. Throughout the year members keep in touch through regular social events, such as quiz ni

ghts, skittles evenings, informal meals and trips out. FAQs
WHAT HAPPENS ON AN EXCHANGE VISIT? Guests spend part of the time with their host family, getting to know them and doing things together. For the remainder of their stay, they join the whole group for a programme of joint activities. DO I HAVE TO HOST A FRENCH FAMILY IN RETURN? You would be expected to entertain your French partners, but if you are unable to host, another family will provide accommodation. HOW FLUENT IN FRENCH DO I NEED TO BE? We have several fluent speakers who can help with translation, but as long as you're willing to make the effort, you'll be surprised how how well you can communicate yourself. It all adds to the fun! HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN?
£15 per household, per annum. WHERE CAN I FIND OU MORE? Contact Dill Cameron on 01626 862261 or email: [email protected]

We had a great time at our skittles evening last night. Ably directed by Graham Carey (even if he couldn't count!) three teams of four enjoyed a needle match. Well almost. The ultimate winners led for most of the game, belying their name, Not a Chance!, but second and third places were hotly contested.

Bowling techniques varied hugely, and some unusual styles actually produced results.

Val and Ted entered the play-off for top scorer, and Val was astonished when she scooped the prize. You could say she was bowled over (sorry!).
