PUPILS from King Henry VIII School are currently in Abergavenny's German twin town of Oestringen performing their successful production of West Side Story as part of the ongoing celebrations of 40 years of twinning.

Help in paying for the adventurous tour was provided by the town's Oestringen Twinning Assocation, which recently presented a cheque for £300 to the school to pay for custume hire.
