Aboyne Into Martignas Exchange

Managed by:

Aboyne Twinning Association

 

Project Description

The project is to hold a programme of events to showcase the Aboyne area to a delegation from Martignas sur Jalle in France.  This will develop strong links between the two communities and will lead to the signing of a formal Twinning Agreement in August 2010.  The proposal will stimulate tourism and create valuable educational links.  The programme of events will lead to strong social and economic benefits for the area.

Bill Shand, Aboyne Twinning Association Chairman

We are delighted to have been offered significant financial support from the LEADER programme.  The community group's work to develop strong twinning links between Aboyne and Martignas sur Jalle will now be able to proceed with confidence.  We are looking forward to welcoming a large delegation to Aboyne during the summer.  This grant will ensure that our guests will see Aberdeenshire hospitality at its best.  The formal Twinning Agreement will be signed in August, opening the door to ever more fruitful links between our two communities.
