AN AUTUMN stay in France at an affordable price has been made possible by town twinning.

After last year's successful trip to Angers, the borough's twin town close to the Loire valley, another visit has been planned for the last week in October.

For as little as £135 you can travel by coach and ferry and stay with a French family. Hotel accommodation is also possible at additional cost.

Anyone interested in taking advantage of this splendid opportunity should phone 01942 829772 as soon as possible before August 25.

The next meeting of the Voluntary Twinning Committee is at 7.30 on Tuesday, August 31 at Wigan Town Hall. Ring 01942 604777 if you are interested in attending.
