KING Henry VIII School have been given a gift of 200

euros to assist pupils who may not have the means to

travel on exchanges to Abergavenny twin town,

Ostringen.

The money was raised by fundraising events

organised by Mrs Annaliza Tinkl of Ostringen, who

has been involved and supported twinning and the

relationship between both towns for 40 years.

Andre Arkell of the Abergavenny Twinning

Festival Committee said, "Mrs Tinkle is actively

involved and this generosity demonstrates that

strength of the twinning and what twinning is

intended to be, it demonstrates the bond between

Abergavenny and Ostringen."
