Sedbergh in North-West England is celebrating 20 years of town twinning with Zreče in Slovenia. The charter was signed by their two mayors on May 27 2005, and on that day later this month there will be a big celebration in Zreče with singers from Sedbergh and Zreče.
On May 29, Slovenian and British singers will celebrate UK Slovenia Friendship Day with a concert in Prešeren Square in Ljubljana.
Sedbergh singers are travelling to Slovenia by train. Before leaving Britain, they will give a departure concert by the public piano at St Pancras Station in London, outside the Eurostar office, at 09:45 am on Tuesday May 20. If you feel like joining the singers either in Britain or in Slovenia, you are most welcome.
Later, Sedbergh will celebrate Slovenia’s Statehood Day on Wednesday June 25 at 18:00 in the Friends Meeting House at Brigflatts near Sedbergh. There will be a concert with Slovenian songs and poetry, and also a Slovenian meal. For more information contact David Burbidge on davidburbidge@hotmail.com
