NETTLEHAM LINCOLNSHIRE

Nettleham village is approximately 3 miles north east of Lincoln on the A46. The centre of the village has some fine examples of building with Lincolnshire limestone. There has been considerable post war expansion and Nettleham is now one of the largest villages in the area, but the character of the village centre has been retained. MULSANNE LA SARTHE The departement of Sarthe was founded in 1790 from part of the province of Maine and a small part of Anjou. The shape is nearly concentric, the main city being Le Mans, judiciously situated in the middle of the department. Today there are 150,000 inhabitants of Le Mans and more than 200,000 in the urban community. The other principal towns are Mamers in the north, Sable in the west, La Fleche in the south west and La Ferte-Bernard to the east. WHAT ARE WE? The village of Nettleham signed twinning documents with the French village of Mulsanne, near Le Mans, in 1978. The basis of our twinning is 'the reciprocal visit'. Our association, in conjunction with our counterparts in Mulsanne, will find you a similar / suitable family or person. You will then spend your visit living with that family and taking part in various events. What we then ask you to do is to receive that family back in your home the following year. WHY JOIN? For you, but especially if you have children, the benefits could be immense. The value of going to another country (in the security of a large group) to sample the real culture, hear the real language spoken, meet and get to know the real people is priceless. This association needs fresh blood and new faces, especially younger families; though single people / widows / widowers / divorcees etc. are also welcome. EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES A boules (Petanque) club was formally created a few years ago and incorporated into the association. The club has its own boules pitch located at Mulsanne Park, Nettleham. Members meet most Sundays - winter and summer - at 10.30am. Friendly competitions are organised during the summer months.

NETTLEHAM LINCOLNSHIRE

Le village de Nettleham se situe à environ 5 kilomètres nord-est de Lincoln dans le Lincolnshire. Le centre du village a de beaux exemples des bâtiments de calcaire du Lincolnshire. On a vu beaucoup d'expansion depuis la deuxième guerre mondiale et Nettleham est maintenant un des plus grands villages de la région. Cependant le caractère du centre du village a été bien conservé avec les églises, l'ecole, de nombreux magasins et des "pubs". Il y a beaucoup du canards sauvage le long du petit ruisseau "Le Beck" qui serpente par Nettleham. QUI SOMMES-NOUS? QU'EST-CE QUE NOUS FAISONS? . Le village de Nettleham c'est à dire le conseil municipal a signé les statuts de jumelage avec Mulsanne, un village français près du Mans, en Mai 1978. Pour cette raison 1998 était une année particulière:- le vingtième anniversaire. La base de notre jumelage reste la visite réciproque. Notre association, conjointement avec nos homologues à Mulsanne vous cherchera une famille/un individu convenable. Vous passerez votre visite à rester avec cette famille et à prendre part aux événements divers. Puis l'année prochaine nous vous demanderons à inviter cette famille-là/cet individu-là à votre maison. POURQUOI DEVENIR MEMBRE? Pour vous, mais surtout si vous avez des enfants, les avantages pourrait être énormes. La valeur de voyager à un autre pays dans la sécurité d'un groupe de connaître la vraie culture, d'écouter la langue vivante et de faire la connaissance des individus est inestimable. Cette Association a besoin des nouveaux-venus, spécialement des familles jeunes, mais aussi des ados/des célibataires/des veufs/des veuves/des divorcés etc seront accueillis. L'Association de jumelage de Nettleham est un membre de la Fédération des jumelages du Lincolnshire.
