in Stretton & neighbouring villages

The primary objective of the Association is to promote friendship between our two communities. To this end, we encourage private/family exchanges between members or groups of our communities, whatever their ages, religion, linguistic abilities or background.
Membership is achieved, subject to the individual’s agreement, by acting as host to our French visitors, or by performing some other valuable service which will assist the Association to achieve its’ aim.

The visit to Montbéliard, at the end of May 2003 was again a resounding success. A group of 14 people, most by cars, the others by plane, stayed with our French Friends in and around Montbéliard in Eastern France. The programme was well balanced with a mixture of culture, beautiful scenery of the Haut Doubs, …. and numerous gatherings around a good table in local auberges with excellent wines.This time our visits included in the Jura the small church of Les Brézeux famous for its stained glass windows by the French artist Manessier and an 11th century chapel in Bizot a stone’s throw from the Swiss border.A couple of years ago, we agreed with our French Friends to visit each other on alternate years only. This means the next visit of the Amis du Mai Anglais and their English classes to Stretton will now take place in April 2005
