Partnership links with our sister Club in Lisieux, Normandy are long-standing and over the years many exchange visits by Rotarians with their wives and partners has forged a strong bond of friendship and understanding which has endured.
Bi-annual visits by both Clubs ensures that this long tradition is maintained. In the past the two Clubs have jointly sponsored international projects such as that to fund and finance the education and training of a young teacher in Zambia.
Rotarians provide hospitality and entertainment during their respective visits which takes place over a long-weekend. Over the years the Club has watched families grow and careers develop. This close partnership is made possible be a shared commitment to the aims of Rotary, respect for each other’s culture and an atmosphere of fun and friendship.
