About Us

As we embark on an exciting new era, we are thrilled to announce the appointment of our new President, who also happens to be the newly elected Town Mayor. Supported by a dedicated committee, we are able to host a number of exciting events for members between our visits to and hosting of our Pont-Audemer counterparts.

Nestled in the rural landscapes of south-west Hampshire, Ringwood is a market town steeped in history. Located along the serene River Avon and close to the enchanting New Forest, our town has been a hub of activity since the Middle Ages, proudly hosting weekly markets that celebrate our rich cultural heritage.

Aims:

Our core objectives reflect our commitment to cultural enrichment and global camaraderie:

- Encouraging residents of Ringwood and its surrounding areas to develop lasting friendships and meaningful connections with the residents of Pont-Audemer.

- Exploring the rich history, diverse lifestyles, and captivating culture of another nation, broadening our horizons and perspectives.

- Hosting the joyous tradition of twinning visits from Pont-Audemer every two years, complemented by our reciprocal visits to their beautiful town in alternate years.

 

Join us in embracing the spirit of friendship, cultural exchange, and international unity as we continue to strengthen the enduring connection between Ringwood and Pont-Audemer.
