Keelby Twinning Association is this year celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its twinning arrangement with Maisdon-sur-Sevre, a village near Nantes in Western France. Maisdon is in a wine producing area and makes "Muscadet Sevre a Maine". Consequently, on visits to Maisdon, much wine is normally consumed. The strength of the association between the two villages has grown over the years, such that last Easter 73 people from Keelby went to Maisdon, and this year, Keelby is to accommodate 80 residents of Maisdon in members’ homes.

Sue Ryder Care in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire is encouraging people to write a Will and leave a gift on that will to charity when they die.
The charity, which has a neurological care centre Holme Hall in Holme upon Spalding Moor and the charity shops in Scunthorpe, Horncastle and Lincoln decided to raise awareness because one in four people in the UK die without writing a Will - leaving the Government to decide how their estate is divided up.

For the first time I am asking the Readers if they can help me by donating any Prizes for ‘my Charity’ - Diabetes UK and other deserving local charities for my home town Great Grimsby.
If you able to donate anything that I could use for draw/raffle prizes, or even make a personal donation, I would so much appreciate it.

Surinders ‘Marathon Mission 2010’
In Memory of my Late Mother (Mohinder Kaur Virdee)

I would like to thank everyone at Grimsby Telegraph for all their help and support in my ‘Marathon Missions’.

I would like to send a big thank you to the two knights of the road in lycra who stopped to assist me when my car was billowing with smoke today at Worlaby top. I was really shocked and did not know what to do but the two gentlemen reassured me and made sure everything was safe and waited with me until help and The AA man arrived to tow me safely home. It is nice to know that some people will still stop and help a damsel in distress it was much appreciated. Thank you guys.

I would to thank Tracey Mills for helping me to raise money at Oasis Gym for my Charity Event on the 13th Jan’ 2010.
I am raising money for diabetes sufferers in Memory of my Late Mother Mohinder Kaur Virdee.
I will be on the Spinning Bike for three hours, then three hours on the Stepper, after that six hours on the treadmill, all for my “Marathon Mission 2010”, so please come and join me at Oasis and help me to raise money, either by joining in or have a go on the raffle for some really good prizes.

I would like to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to everyone for helping me to raise money for my Late Mothers Memory Mohinder Kaur Virdee.
Without all these people I couldn't have done it.
