Wülfrath is twelve miles north of Dusseldorf and has a population
of 22,000. Each year a Christmas Fair is held in the Church Square
and a delegation from Ware actively participates.
Cormeilles-en-Parisis is ten miles Northwest of Paris. It has a
population of 20,000. It is famous for its Plaster of Paris.
The Town Twinning Association is an active committee, which works
to further links between both towns.
Wülfrath has been twinned with Ware since 1971 and a Pledge
of Friendship has been signed bi-annually since that time. Over
the years many contacts, friendships and exchange visits have been
made. Cormeilles-en-Parisis is a much newer twinned town, the Pledge
of Friendship being signed in France in September 2001.
Town Twinning strives to strengthen links and to help exchanges
between the towns, especially schools and other young people, and
helps to assist like-minded groups and organisations. A committee
of local residents and Town Councillors, elected annually, meet
at the Priory every other month to discuss Twinning issues. Membership
is open to local residents, families and organisations.
