We have been invited to attend the Swyzertag folk festival at Waldshut Tiengen, very near the Swiss border, in southern Germany on 5 and 6 July. The event involves parades, performances on stage, beer and sausages. This year, they are highlighting England.
The trip would be under the auspices of Lewes Twinning Association - it is through them that we have been invited. As is often the case with twinning events, visitors can be put up in people’s homes. The organiser can arrange accommodation with hosts in the town, which means we would just have to fund travel (flights around £120 into Zurich or Basel - both from Gatwick) and food, but they need to know how many people might be coming. So far, Gaynor and John are going. We will travel out on the 4th and return on the 6th.
So .... any advance on Gaynor and John?? Please e-mail John Crane in the first instance.

PS - anyone know the German for 'Twanky Dillo'?
Welcome to our website for singers who want to learn and sing traditional and new South Downs folk songs, sung in the traditional way. "Put another barrel on, landlord, and pull a pint for me! The ale here in Sussex is the best we all agree!"
I think the 7th would be cheaper and easier for travelling back
