In glorious sunshine, on Friday

21st.May, our twenty-one guests from Schorndorf arrived at theTown Hall, where they were warmly welcomed by the new Mayor, Councillor John Burns and Mrs. Burns, the Mayoress.

The splendid reception, which

followed did us proud and set the scene for a superb visit.

Guests and members visited York on Saturday and enjoyed strolling along the city walls and

through the narrow streets prior

to a lovely meal in the Dean

Court Hotel Restaurant. In the

afternoon we admired the striking architecture of York Minster and we stepped back in time by visiting the amazingly informative undercroft. After

leaving the refreshing coolness of the crypt, the summer heat of the streets above justified cold drinks and ice-creams.

On Sunday there were lots of

things to do: a service at St. Stephen’s Parish Church, the Prestwich Farmers’ Market and in the afternoon, Hollins Bowling Club

welcomed our visitors from

Schorndorf.

driven through the streets on

a horse drawn carriage.
