Hailsham is twinned with Gournay-en-Bray, a small town in Normandy, France.
Twinning has been in existence for many years and the idea of it is to foster
better relations and gain knowledge and understanding of different cultures. |
We enjoy their food and wine, and many of us spend our holidays there but there
is often hostility towards France, despite it being our nearest neighbour. |
The Twinning Charter was signed in Hailsham in October 2000 and in Gournay-en-Bray in February 2001. Whilst the populations of the towns differ considerably (Hailsham - 20,500; Gournay - 5,000), the facilities in both towns are very similar. |
A number of cultural visits in both directions take place each year.
