Solihull Twinning Association
The Solihull Twinning Association was formed in 1978 and meets monthly to raise funds and organise visits for their members to Main-Taunus-Kreis and Cholet and host visitors from both towns.
Since its formation the Twinning Association has been instrumental in introducing many contacts including sports, commerce, social and educational links. Exchange visits usually involve hosting in each other's homes, which gives direct experience of daily life in the host country.
Membership of the Solihull Twinning Association is open to all.
