ANDOVER Town Twinning Association (ATTA) recently arranged a successful event, welcoming approximately 30 visitors from its twin towns of Redon, France, and Goch, Germany.
Guests were treated to a well-organised itinerary encompassing visits to Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Andover's surrounding area.
A formal dinner, taking place at Test Valley Golf Club, near Overton, included a diverse range of entertainment such as a multi-lingual choir from Redon, comedic sketch from Goch members, and a sprightly Charleston dance performance from a dedicated duo.

The concluding morning involved a reception at Andover Guildhall, led by the Mayor and Mayoress of Test Valley.
They gifted memorable Test Valley maps to the twin town representatives.
The pleasant event benefited from clear weather and musical accompaniment by Andover Town Band members.
These annual ATTA events rotate locations, with next year's destination set for Goch.
The independent organisation extends an open invitation to potential new members with their contact details found on their website.
