On Wednesday 24th July 2024, Bognor Regis Town Council were very proud to host a Twinning Reception, for friends from our two German twinned towns, Weil am Rhein and Trebbin at ‘Seasons’. 

The occasion was made extra special, with 2024 marking the 30th anniversary of Bognor Regis’ twinning relationship with Trebbin. Our visiting guests, along with their host families, members of the Bognor Regis Twinning Association, Bognor Regis Town Councillors and staff were treated to a special ‘proclamation’ written and performed by Bognor Regis’ award-winning Town Crier Jane Smith, to start the evening, which was followed by a welcome speech from the Mayor of Bognor Regis, Cllr Miss Claire Needs.

Music was provided by The Grand Central Duo, and a buffet was enjoyed by all, before the Mayors of Weil am Rhein and Trebbin, Lorenz Wehrle and Ronny Haase gave their speeches. To conclude the evening, gifts were exchanged between the three twinned towns.

Thank you to the Bognor Regis Twinning Association for their assistance with organising this event and of course to our German friends for visiting our Town. With a full programme of activities planned for the duration of their stay here in Bognor Regis, we wish them a very pleasant week.
