On Saturday September 17th September 2005 we welcomed guests from our companion parish the Grace Episcopal Church in Holland, Michigan, USA. They stayed with a group of hosts from our parish here in Fawkham and Hartley and hopefully enjoyed an exciting week. We certainly enjoyed having them stay with us ( yes, even the weather was excellent!) and formed some close friendships

To those of you from Holland, MI who did not come to see us this time, we have set out details of the visit and also have a photo album showing some of the events from your friend's week with us.

Finally, we have included some links here to show where Fawkham and Hartley and Holland, Michigan are located.

We now look forward to the return visit in August 2006!
