Billinghay and District Twinning Association (BDTA), formerly known as just Billinghay Twinning Association, was formed in 1986 as an extension of an already successful exchange scheme with The Lafford High School and Ballon Secondary School.
Today, the Association has passed its 35th Anniversary. Having grown over the years, it now boasts in excess of 60 regular members. Visits are annual, with alternate trips to Ballon and Billinghay. Originally this was made possible in part thanks to funding received from the European Union and the “Europe for Citizens” initiative although this is no longer the case. The UK withdrawal from the EC is unlikely to have any great impact on the twinning as friendships have been forged over many years and go beyond the national boundaries.
The next visit will be to Ballon St. Mars in October 2020 (coronavirus willing)and full details of this will appear on the website in due course. You can find out more about Ballon St Mars , our twin, by clicking on the link “Ballon, Our Twin” on this screen.
