This is a dictionary definition, but town twinning is much more than this suggests. The Soham Twinning Association considers
that twinning is not only the announcement that we are twinned with another town in Europe, and that is that, but that we
should continue the process once that announcement has been made. To this end, the Soham Twinning Association seeks to
explore the culture of its twin town, to become involved in its events and to invite it to come to the United Kingdom and do the same in Soham. In doing this, we hope that there will be a greater friendship across Europe resulting from the
friendships struck up between the inhabitants and children of our two towns.
