THE FUTURE of a link between Petersfield and its German twin looks promising, judging by the success of their latest exchange.

Friendships were renewed when Petersfield Twinning Association members welcomed a large party from Warendorf. The visitors were treated to five days of fun with trips to the Hollycombe Steam Collection, Chichester, Petworth House and the Sea City Museum in Southampton.

They were also given a Petersfield Museum tour, took part in a blue plaque trail quiz and dined on fish and chips. The English group also secured a placement for a German work experience student at Meon Travel in the town, found hosts for another teenager and negotiated a summer term of study for another young Warendorfer at The Petersfield School.
