Beverley Anglo French Society

Our History

In 1990 a councillor from Nogent sur Oise who had married a Beverley girl, approached Beverley College with the idea of a twinning between the two towns. After a visit to Nogent, it was decided that each town would set up an Anglo French Society. Thanks to the efforts of Margret and Tony Knight, there was a lot of support and meetings were held monthly with speakers on French literature, art, culture and wine tasting etc. There followed many visits by members and school students. Seven years later, official twinning ceremonies took place in Beveley's Guildhall and the Mairie at Nogent.

Beverley's Society has continued to thrive and our current membership is around 40.

We support the Beverley – Nogent Town Twinning Association and naturally many people are members of both. (For more information on twinning, please visit www.beverley-nogent.com)
