Day 333 (Part 4 - Saturday): This evening we had the absolute privilege of hosting a civic dinner at the town hall to mark the 50th anniversary of our official twinning with Paderborn. Speeches were made by both myself, the mayor of Paderborn and a presentation was given highlighting Bolton regeneration aspirations. It was a celebration of not only of our enduring friendship but of the values that bind us across countries, unity, shared history, and hope for the future. The bond between our towns is reflected not just in official visits, but in the friendships, exchanges, and understanding that have flourished through the years. The toasts we shared last night weren’t just ceremonial, they were a symbol of mutual respect and trust in each other’s cultures. A heartfelt thank you to the delegation from Paderborn and a special thanks as well to our friends from Le Mans in France and Przemyśl in Poland whose participation brought an extra layer of richness and warmth to the evening. Here’s to continued friendship, shared futures, and many more memories to come. #TeamBolton #togetherstronger Mayor of Bolton
