Our association

Birth of the Association

 The Twinning Association was founded on October 10th 1990 and went effective  after  a friendship and cooperation protocol between our two towns that was signed in spring 1991. With a little bit of humour it took the name of "Entent Cordiale Dourdan-Great Dunmow". From thereon all those who had opportunity to participate in the first organised events have been impressed by the warm-hearted welcoming they received.

 

Since the beginning the Association has organised a lot of meetings and events : Travels, schools trips, artists exhibitions, sport events, etc. The page "Passed events" briefly summarizes the more important of the last years.

To commemorate the friendship between out towns the square between the Priory and the Town Hall was named "Square Great Dunmow"

  

20th anniversary of the creation of our association

  On May 15yt 2010 during the travel to Dourdan of a delegation from Great Dunmow, the two mayors have signed a letter of intent by which they have agreed to continue with and strengthen the twinning links between the two towns for the coming years, in accordance with the friendship protocol signed in 1991  To visualise this document :
