The Secretary Janet Dale and Membership Secretary Steve Ward visited Frederikssund during May to join, with
representatives from six other
towns, in the celebration of the 200th anniversary of
Frederikssund becoming a municipality in its own right.
During the visit they took part in a procession through the town, unfortunately although the weather on the Friday and Sunday was very pleasant, during the parade it rained.
This was not a problem for your representatives as they ensured they were prepared for the weather, but the Borgmester, Ole Find Jensen, of Frederikssund, being a true Viking, just wore a suit and got rather wet.
It was a great honour for Janet and Steve to walk with the Borgmester at the front of the parade.
During the weekend there was a market on the quay side,
with many boats tied up alongside, which was very interesting.
There was also a firework display, which unfortunately all the visiting twin town representatives missed as they were still having dinner with the Borgmester.
It is hoped that it may be possible for the Viking players to visit Ramsgate next year during the anniversary celebrations commemorating 50 years of Twinning between the two towns.
