Radio Club de Normandie – Our Twin
In 1976 our club was twinned with the Radio Club de Normandie in France – this page is dedicated to the history of events that have taken place as a result of this relationship.
To the right is a photograph of the RCN visit in 1979, three years after twinning.
Reproduced below is a very brief résumé of dates, numbers of visitors, and locations of restaurants and group visits. More detailed information is recorded in the newsletters of both societies following the events.
These statistics relate purely to “official” visits and take no account of the dozens of additional private exchanges made personally by individual members.
