The Abingdon and District Twin Towns Society (ADTTS) are holding an English Language Course this week. The “students” arrived on Saturday 11th July. I met them, by chance, as they arrived at the Conduit Centre (part of Trinity Church) for a shared lunch on Sunday. They had been sight seeing in Abingdon that morning.

The “students” come from twin towns in Italy, France and Belgium. They will study each morning in the upstairs rooms at 35 Ock Street, then have afternoon outings to places like The Diamond Light Source, Dorchester, Henley-on-Thames, and Oxford.

Students stay with host families, and return home on 18th July. There was a German Language Course last month in twin town Schongau – with seven members of ADTTS attending.
