The Bridlington Millau Twinning Association
Since the beginning, we have firmly believed that a strong twinning relies on its members and that everyone in Bridlington should have access to the opportunity to travel to Millau. With this aim in mind, we have been successful over the past ten years to encourage over 1000 Bridlington people of all ages and backgrounds to join us on our visits and also attracting many more by the wide range of annual activities.
Membership is just £5 per person per year and includes Newsletters and discounted Social events. Everybody is welcome, whether you can speak French or not, of any age and there is always a great demand from Millau for families to come and join us. The Committee meets on the first Monday of every month and discusses arrangements for visits and social activities. The current post holders of the committee are Bob Owen, President, Chris Myers, Chairman; Barbara Hall, Secretary and Membership Secretary; Daphne Ford, Vice-Chair and Press Secretary; John Ford, Treasurer. Our Constitution is updated every year following the Annual General Meeting in January. You can view the current constitution on the archive page.
There is a trip to Millau every odd year (1999\2001\2003) and in the even years, Millau comes to visit Bridlington. This year 2002, saw the tenth anniversary visit of Millau to Bridlington and was a really spectacular event. You can get the full story of the event on Millau in Bridlington 2002. Twinning has also brought together many people from each town who previously didn't know each other. Both Committees are constantly busy organising social events for their members throughout the year. This year the Bridlington Millau Twinning Association are organising many events to bring together our members. A Crepes (pancakes) and Bowling evening; Quiz Night; Bastille Barn Dance and BBQ ( in a real barn!!); Beaujolais Nouveau Night to celebrate the arrival of the new vintage, garden party and even a visit to the dogs!! Anyone from 5 to 95 can join the Association and receive information about all these activities by contacting Chris Myers at
