THE golden anniversary of Warrington’s twinning with the city of Hilden in Germany will be celebrated at this year’s annual Civic Sunday Service.
The new Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Karen Mundry, is inviting everyone to join her at the service which takes place on June 17.
Held each year to celebrate the inauguration of the new Mayor, this year’s event will include the Mayor of Hilden, Birgit Alkenings, to celebrate a 50-year friendship.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Civic Service – and the Mayor would love to welcome all those who have had involvement or a connection with Hilden over the years, so they can share their stories.
Cllr Mundry said: “The civic service is always a special occasion – and it’s set to be even more special this year as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our twinning with Hilden.
“It’s a friendship which we are very proud of, and I’m looking forward to welcoming the Mayor of Hilden and her delegation.
“I’d like to invite everyone to this event to help mark the start of a new Mayoral year and to celebrate our enduring partnership with our friends from Germany.”
