LLANDRINDOD Wells mayor Marcia Morgan and vice chair of the town council, Wade Curzon, joined members of the Llandrindod Wells and Area Twinning Association for a belated Christmas lunch last week.
The dinner was held at Llandrindod Wells Golf Club on Wednesday, January 17.
Llandrindod Wells has had a twinning association since signing a twinning charter with Contrexéville, in France, in 1992. It then signed a similar deal with Bad Rappenau, in Germany, in 2001.

Llandrindod Wells and Area Twinning Association exists to develop interchange between the twin towns and to assist wherever possible in making contacts and arranging visits.
Contrexéville is in a region of low mountains called the Vosges, a rural area which shares many features with Radnorshire. It has a lively community with a thriving arts and recreation centre. Its economy is boosted by tourism and the sale of its bottled mineral water. Its manufacturing base comprises small and medium enterprises in and around the town.
Contrexéville was itself twinned with the German spa town of Bad Rappenau, near Heidelberg, and in 2001 a formal twinning charter was signed between Llandrindod and Bad Rappenau.
