Vänortsföreningen Hultsfred-Rumia

Vänortsföreningen Hultsfred-Rumia

Short information about the organisation

The purpose of the organisation is to promote exchange between the citizens of Hultsfred, Sweden and Rumia, Poland.

The organisation was established when plans were drawn up for cultural days of Rumia in Hultsfred, may -95. Before this, already in 1992 an exchange started in the school-area which has spread to culture and sports.

So far there has been 48 trips to visit one another and many contacts have been established between organisations and people to the benefit of booth towns.

The secretary of the organisation is documenting all the trips between Hultsfred and Rumia. Since the original was stolen with the mini-van at the Hultsfred-days in Rumia, there is now work going on with restoring this documentation.

In Valhall, Hultsfred at the office of the secretary of culture is kept a guest-book that belong to the organisation. In this guest-book our guests from Rumia write their names when they visit us.
