Great Barford - Wollstein Partnership
Great Barford is twinned with Wollstein in Germany.
The official Charter was signed on the 28th May 1978 at Great Barford, but the partnership started some 5 years sooner when Wollstein and Great Barford Old boys football teams met several times between 1973 and 1978.
Wollstein has a population of over 4500 and is situated in the valley of the river Appel. Much of it is agricultural, growing corn and sugar beet, but it also has a large area of vineyards.
Many visits have taken place over the years from our local school to the Bedfordshire county Brass Band.
Every year members of the partnership meet and spend a few days together, often staying in each others homes, one year at Great Barford and the next at Wollstein.
Long and close friendships have been formed over the years and the partnership are always looking for more members to join the Partnership.
