The Gorseinon and Llwchwr District has been offically twinned with Ploermel in Brittany since 1993.

The initial contacts and visits by individuals and families have now expanded into educational and sporting links between schools and sports clubs in both communities. It is the aim of our Association and our sister organisation in Ploermel, Les Amis De Gorseinon et Llwchwr to extend these contacts to include music, art, dance and drama; and to develop new links between all parts of our communities especially our young people.

In the past we have financially contributed to the hosting costs of the Penyrheol Swimming Club, when their counterparts came over from Ploermel and we also present the Ploermel Cup plus a cheque to the student who achieves the best results in French at Penyrheol Comprehensive School.

Social evenings are organised in the Gorseinon area and new friendships have been made within our own community.

The Association also organises visits to Ploermel and hosts similar visits by our Breton friends.

Membership of the Association is open to everyone in the community whether as individuals, families, clubs, schools, businesses or any other.
