11 members of the Rotary Club of Kevelaer visited us in Bury St Edmunds on the weekend of 21st May. This was the first time the two clubs had been able to meet face to face , our freindship having been forged during the Covid pandemic. The weekend was filled with many activities which brought the clubs together including a Fish and Chip Supper, Disco Party, Tour of the town, Tour of Lavenham and a visit to Fullers Mill Garden.
