A Brief History Of The AssociationIn 1981 a two-man delegation from Boissy sous St Yon visited Colney Heath and were given a conducted tour of the village by the Clerk to the Parish Council, Dudley Wood. They visited, amongst other places, the school and the Mother and Toddler Group and had meetings with representatives of various organisations including the WI. They liked what they saw so Dudley Wood made a return visit with his French-speaking daughter. In April 1982 Martine Vigneron, Claude Cherdo and Michel Gabilan visited Colney Heath. During their visit Martine Vigneron and Claude Cherdo together with Dudley Wood and Heidi Waters signed a mutual declaration of frendship between the villages of Colney Heath and Boissy.

During the visit it was agreed that there would be a visit to Boissy in June. In June a group drawn from many organisations in Colney Heath and their children visited Boissy. They departed from Colney Heath at 1.30 on the Friday afternoon which is, as we now know, far too late and consequently they did not arrive in Boissy until after midnight!
