Seaton Town Council Website

Because the twinning is run by the volunteers of the Seaton and Thury associations and has been for the last 25 odd years, it is sometimes forgotten that technically they do so on behalf of the respective Town Councils. This is perhaps more evident in France, where they get much more recognition, (and often more financial help) from the civic authorities. This became very noticeable after the revamp of the Thury municipal website, which has a page dedicated to their twinning committee as well as the occasional news item. In contrast, Seaton Council's website had no reference at all to Thury-Harcourt. Happily, this omission has now been rectified following a request from our twinning committee . There is now a page about the twinning at www.seaton.gov.uk/twin.htm

2008 visit - French Newspaper Coverage

For those that missed the local French newspaper coverage of the 2008 visit, a link to the appropriate web page has been added to the list of links on the right. The visit was unusual in that this time no less than seven Seaton twinners travelled independently, and all turned up at the Thury Town Hall in time to welcome the main party. Those with a wry sense of humour will note that the paper Ouest-France chose to lead with a picture of Seaton's Association chairman Jeff Day being warmly welcomed by .... argh hum..., his own vice-chairman.
