The Market RasenTwinning Association

Our link with Mamers dates from 1975 and was first established between De Aston School and College de Mamers. Town links were developed later, culminating in the signing of the Charter in 1989.

Mamers iis a delightful country town, with a population of about 6000. Its main attractions include a plan d'eau, campsite, swimming pool and cinema. There are two churches, an imposing Mairie, hospital, lycee, Colleges, horse riding centre and a music school. Rillettes are the local gastronomic speciality. Raclet is one of the local firms.

Our visits to Mamers have featured the Market Rasen RPC Band and the Choral Society on several occasions, joining in concerts with musicians from Mamers; groups from St John's and the Fire Service, also dancers and instrumentalists.
We have welcomed to Market Rasen over the years - choirs, a youth orchestra, guitarists and a team of cyclists. Gifts to our twin town have consisted of a GPO letter box, an oak tree, a chocolate cockerel and many pictures of our own locality. The latest offering will be an embroidered wall hanging, depicting aspects of Lincolnshire life, created by ladies on the committee and friends.
