With the backing
of the Parish Council, the Twinning Association was formed in the
spring of 2003. North Ferriby is twinned with a French village in
Brittany - situated just West of the city of Nantes on the Loire estuary
in North East France. Le
Pellerin is a village with many similarities to North Ferriby, in
a similar location, on the estuary of France's longest river, the
Loire, just a few miles from the regional centre, Nantes. The relationship
between the two villages has been developing steadily, involving
not only the two associations but also primary and secondary schools
on both sides; we hope to be able to add sporting links in coming
months. Any village organisation interested in exploring possible
contacts with a French group with similar interests may contact
one of our committee members.
There is no limit to the levels and types of personal or group involvement
with Le Pellerin. These can be Family and School exchanges, Sports,
Gardening, Flower arranging, Scouts, Guides, Bowls (dare we suggest
this?), Music, Language and Cultural trips, maybe even Work exchange
or Experience.
Everyone
is invited to play a part in this exciting project: it is open for
the whole village and we look forward to many on-going links between
these two special communities.

Chairman's
Report 2010 (pdf file)
Visitors from Le Pellerin
- April 2010

Part of the group of visitors from Le Pellerin
in April, who had to take the ferry back from Portsmouth to St.
Malo because their flight was cancelled as a result of the Icelandic
volcanic ash.
Street Naming
A further unanimous vote [at the Town Council
meeting on Thursday] was passed in favour of the proposal for naming
the new streets in the Les Tulipes development. The main street
connecting the development to the rue de l’Hermitage will
be known as rue de North Ferriby, and two others will be the allée
du Humber (the river flowing past our English partner village) and
the allée du Yorkshire (the English county in which North
Ferriby is located).
