2016 Visit from our friends across La Manche
We are thrilled that on the 5th to 8th May this year, 42 people visited us from Le Pre D'Auge, Le Boissiéres et Les Morceaux. They were hosted with our members throughout the village and wider parish (including with members from Torquay and Newton Abbot).
We will post more pictures and videos of the fun and frolics over the next few days.
Arrival in the village was on the Thursday evening, 5th May, and Abbotskerswell members greeted their guests and hosted them at home for the evening.
There was a day's activities on Friday the 6th May in Plymouth including a visit to Abbotskerswell Primary School, Plymouth Gin, Plymouth Hoe and the Catering College where lunch was a veritable feat.
In the evening there was a Safari supper. For those who are new to this concept, this comprises having three courses of the meal in different homes. So there were a lot of people wandering the streets of Abbotskerswell on the evening of the 6th May.
Saturday the 7th May was spent with the hosting families and everyone came together in the village hall for a Ceilidh with the Random Mackerel Band.
