Maybole twinners were
hosts to visitors from Germany and France recently. The occasion was to
celebrate the 10th anniversary of signing the official
twinning agreement between Maybole and the German town of Schotten. This
had been signed in the Town Hall during July, 2000 by Andy Hill, Leader
of South Ayrshire Council, Margaret Davidson, of Maybole Town Twinning
Association, Hans Otto Zimmerman, Burgermeister of Schotten, and Klaue
Appel, Chairman of Schotten Town Twinning Association. That ceremony had
been attended by local twinners, friends and over 100 visitors from
France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and the CzechRepublic who had taken part
in a cycle tour to mark the start of the new millennium.
