Bridgewater goes to Marsa

Members of the Bridgwater Twinning Association visited twin town Marsa during a trip to Malta to strengthen links between the two communities:

Secretary Pat Morgan held meetings with the people of Marsa, presenting the people from the Maltese town with gifts from groups around Bridgwater. Pat Morgan said: "We were invited to Marsa Scout headquarters to see the entries to their annual handicraft competition. We were able to present a scrapbook that Abbey Walker from Wembdon Scouts had made for them with badges, photos and description of her time at the Centenary World Scout Jamboree.

"We were also invited to visit a primary school, which is hoping to link with a school here. "They have given us a yearbook with lots of information about themselves and calendars illustrated by the children to give to the school in Bridgwater." The Mayor of Marsa joined also joined the group on the trip as they revisited the Bridgwater playground in the town.
