Following the AGM of the Reading Düsseldorf Association, this evening, we've set ourselves up on Twitter to promote our activities, as we continue to promote the links between #RDGUK and #DUS #Duesseldorf forged by Phoebe Cusden, 71 years ago. #myfirstTweet @ReadingCouncil

The new @mayorofreading and Honorary President of the RDA, Cllr David Stevens, started a tour of #rdguk by bike today. As he chose to begin near the home of Robert Dimmick, Vice-Chair of the Association, Robert rode up to meet with him, and rode with him the mile back home.

Members of the association are gathering in the Mayor's Parlour at the @ReadingCouncil offices for our annual general meeting. The minutes will be published via our website in due course, but in the meantime, we'll live Tweet some highlights.

@ReadingCouncil @GermanReading1 @rso_reading @OB_ThomasGeisel @ChrisForsey1 @ReallyFabChoir @Rdgfringefest @bluegoattheatre @mayorofreading @FriendsofRDGMus @livingreading Plenty of food for thought for the committee after that discussion. As usual, the association would welcome more volunteers on the committee. Erika Birch is standing down after 25 years. Thank you for your service to the association, Erika!
