Every year Glossop and Bad Vilbel have an exchange visit and this year our German friends visited us from July 31st to August 3rd, including the Mayor of Bad Vilbel, Sebastian Wysocki, and his family. The weekend visit commenced on Thursday evening with welcome speeches at The Windy Harbour restaurant including one in German by the High Peak Mayor, Councillor Dom Elliott-Starkey. Our guests, Mayor Elliott-Starkey and the host families had a full itinerary with the host families and committee members which included a trip to Manchester to visit the Elisabeth Gaskell House, Whitworth Gallery and museums. In addition to the day time activities, Friday evening we held a dinner at the Norfolk Arms and also on Saturday evening at the Glossop Golf Club where the group were entertained by the Glossop Ukelale Group.
If you would like to be part of next year’s trip over to Bad Vilbel details will be posted on here and via Facebook later this year.
