Weather holds for Windermere Twinning Association event
The annual garden party held in June at The Fairfield to raise funds for the association was again a success generating nearly £200 to go towards the funds of the association. The weather held out, and was even sunny. Fund-raising will be going on over the coming months to help with the preparations for events to be held in 2008 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the twinning of Windermere with Diessen-am-Ammersee near Munich in Bavaria.
The month of May saw a visit from the ladies friendship group the "Frauenbund" from Diessen who spent several days in the area taking advantage of the better weather by enjoying a variety of activities including a lake cruise on Windermere, and a trip on the 'Lil' Ratty in Eskdale. The Ladies had a wonderful time which ended in a garden party where they were joined by local ladies of the WI, and St Herbert’s Catholic Women’s League. A full English afternoon tea was provided including a ‘welcome cake’, to the delight of the visitors who thanked the people of Windermere for their hospitality.
