Germany Exchange – July 2023
Carol Cranford has kindly written a report on our German trip
24 members of the WTA had a highly successful visit to our twin town of Waldkirch in the Elztal. We were warmly welcomed in glorious sunshine by our friendly and hospitable German hosts. Activities arranged for us included a summer concert in the very impressive Karl
Burger giant factory with live band and light show, a coach trip to lake Titi with guided tour of the Sankt Peter abbey church and library on the way. We also took a train and bus trip to visit a water powered historical hammer workshop with most members continuing on the return train to Freiburg where a wine festival was being held.
On the final day an interesting talk was given by the owner of a famous gem cutting workshop in Waldkirch now preserved as a museum. We then attended a formal reception at the Elztal museum with ‘Kaffee und Kuchen’followed by a concert by the Robert Woodard Academy in the Margarethenkirche.
Throughout the visit were generously provided with delicious meals at various restaurants. Chairman Cristopher Doidge expressed grateful thanks for giving the WTA members a wonderful time and invited the German group to visit Worthing next year.
WTA Film season
After 8 excellent films provided by Christopher Doidhe over the previous 6 months, it has finished for the Summer and will resume in October. These evenings normally start at 7.15 p.m. in the West Worthing Baptist Church. Tickets are £5 which includes a glass of wine and quite often a doughnut! All films are sub-titled so no worries if you not entirely fluent in French or German!.
Wine and cheese tasting event
on 25th May was good fun as usual, just as well it wasn’t taken seriously as we would have been most embarrassed with our low score!
Quiz and Plowman’s Social
Last Thursday 27th April 32 WTA members gathered in the West Worthing Baptist Church Hall for a Quiz and Ploughman’s Evening. The evening was not without conflict and debate with the master of ceremonies (and the man with the answers) Dave Short but everyone enjoyed an excellent time. We hope to arrange more of these during the coming months.
Lunch
On 10th March we visited the Arundel Restaurant at Northbrook College and had an enjoyable lunch
Shuffleboard
On 26th January we held a Shuffleboard Evening with a French style Ploughmans which was very successful and the winning team of Laura Early, Ann Steddon and Howard Johnson were given a bottle of wine each. Thanks to Laura and Catherine and all those who helped on the night.
