History
.ON 16th September 1980, the NNKFA was founded, and in the same year the first visit to Norwich by our Koblenz partners took place.
The first contacts between the Rhineland Palatinate and the county of Norfolk go back to school exchanges as early as 1947 and contacts between the Koblenz region and Norfolk were made in 1956.
Since then a wide range of links on cultural, sporting and many other levels has developed, all of which have served to deepen friendship and understanding between the two regions.
On 22nd April 1978, the formal twinning documents between Koblenz and Norwich were signed in Koblenz, further promoting and extending links, and building on this firm foundation.

Twinning is Back!
More than 60 members of the Norwich and Norfolk twinning associations joined together on Sunday evening for a collaborative event organised by the Koblenz association.
Participants from the Koblenz, Rouen and Novi Sad groups, with guests from the civic society, enjoyed the “joint” experience - a voyage together on the Horning based Southern Comfort Mississippi river boat.
During the journey past St Benet’s Abbey to South Walsham Broad and back. a delicious buffet was served, and the travellers pitted their wits against a quiz compiled by event organiser Sandra Sheppard from the Koblenz association.
While benefitting from lovely views and unbroken sunshine, passengers took advantage of the opportunity to mix, share stories, and plan for the future.
After the dark days of the pandemic, and despite Brexit difficulties, Sunday’s trip demonstrated that twinning is alive and well and living in Norfolk!

Keep those pedals going!
Having set off from Koblenz Deutsches Eck on Thurday June 2nd, heading for Norwich on their bikes, and raising money for charity, the brave cyclists arrived at Carrow Road football ground at about 4 p.m. on Sunday 5th June, tired but happy to be home!
Four day cycle challenge helps to raise over £7,000 for the Foundation
Over the extended Jubilee weekend, ten fundraisers pedalled their way 422-miles across Europe all to raise funds for the Foundation.
Their epic ride, which connected Norwich and its sister city Koblenz in Germany, took in three countries over the course of four gruelling days.
The challenge, the brainchild of Foundation supporter and fundraiser Matt Parkhouse, was first completed in 2012 and most recently in 2018; he was back this time with a larger group of ten cyclists, all with differing levels of experience in the saddle.
Their adventure began on Thursday 2nd June, when they were waved off by members of the Koblenz Twinning Society on the banks of the River Rhine.
Beautiful weather, superb cycling paths and regular assistance from the Foundation’s support team aided the group’s swift progress.
A photo outside each stadium is customary on the challenge, and en-route to Norwich the group duly ticked off a very impressive 13 clubs (Bonnor SC, FC Koln, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach, VVV Venlo, PSV Eindhoven, NEC Nijmegen, Vitesse Arnhem, FC Utrecht, Ajax, ADO Den Haag, Colchester United and Ipswich Town).
Late Sunday afternoon, after cycling the final stretch down Norwich’s Koblenz Avenue, the group enjoyed a heroes’ welcome from friends and family at their final stadium stop, Carrow Road. Norfolk-based representatives from the Koblenz Twinning Society were also there to greet the group.
With donations still coming in, the group have collectively raised over £7,000, which will be used to support the Foundation’s vital work in the community.
Senior Fundraising & Events Manager, Emma Fletcher-Dungay, who was part of the Foundation’s support team, said:
“What an amazing challenge and group of people who took part. They’ve raised an incredible amount of money for the Foundation. The weather was kind, staff at the stadiums were friendly and we are already looking forward to the next one.”
The Foundation wishes to thank Sally from Up & Running Treatments, Influence Signs, Norfolk Hire, Rehook, Green Farm Coffee, Morrisons, the Koblenz Twinning Society, Dolphin Cycle Repairs and Cycle Swarm for supporting the event.
Our challenge events are sponsored by Coastal Construction Ltd.

Queen Elizabeth 2
Wie hat man in Norwich auf den Tod der Queen reagiert?
Als die Flagge am Rathaus auf Halbmast gesetzt wurde läuteten die Glocken von St. Peter Mancroft. Die Kirche in der Nachbarschaft des Rathauses – wie auch viele weitere Kirchen in Norwich – wurde für die Gläubigen geöffnet, die Kerzen anzünden wollten. Auch die Kathedrale von Norwich war bis 22.00 Uhr geöffnet. Reverend Dr. Peter Doll, Dekan der Kathedrale sagte, dass von Freitagmorgen an ein Kondolenzbuch ausliegen werde und die Kathdrale bis 20.00 Uhr geöffnet wäre. In der Stadt war es still und die Bildschirme in den Pubs zeigten Nachrichten anstatt der üblichen Fussballspiele. Der Oberbürgermeister von Norwich, Ratsmitglied Dr. Kevin Maguire, sprach für den Stadtrat und die Bürger der Stadt gößte Sympathie für die Königliche Familie und den Palast aus. Der Bischof von Norwich, Rt Revd Grahahm Usher, sagte: Ich hatte die Ehre am Neujahrstag bei der Queen in Sandringham zu sein. Sie war eine bemerkenswerte Person, die sich zutiefst um andere Leute sorgte.
Offiziell sagte er wörtlich: “The news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, brings immense sadness to our nation and particularly to this Diocese of Norwich for which she always had great affection. Our thoughts and prayers are with His Majesty The King and the whole of the Royal Family. …“Her Majesty’s visits to Norfolk, to her beloved Sandringham, meant that she has been held in special esteem and fondness in the County of Norfolk and Diocese of Norwich. I have very fond memories of being her guest at Sandringham and experiencing her kindness. (Die Nachricht vom Tod Ihrer Majestät Elisabeth der Zweiten erfüllt unsere Nation mit großer Trauer und besonder die Diözese von Norwich, für die sie immer so große Zuneigung zeigte. Unsere Gedanken und Gebete sind bei seiner Majestät dem König und der ganzen königlichen Familie…. Die Besuche Ihrer Majestät in Norfolk und ihrem geliebten Sandringham zeugen vonder großen Hochachtung únd Liebe zur Grafschaft Norfolk und der Diözese von Norwich. Ich habe liebevolle Erinnerungen an sie als ihr Gast in Sandringham, der ihre Güte erfuhr,)

Visit to Koblenz 2019
A few comments from “fellow travellers”:-
Loved the social- the meal on the first night- meeting the Koblenz members-
Koblenz art gallery was incredible.
A well thought out programme with a good balance of organised activities and time to spend on our own.
Highlights of the trip were the Festspiel in Winningen and the day spent in Trier. a wonderful taster- cathedral so impressive.
There was a great camaraderie amongst the group, lots of laughs!
Most impressive was the friendship and mutual support amongst the group and how quickly that was established.
My favourite day was the trip to Trier which combined the group activity of travelling together with the opportunity of individual exploring.
Fabulous " Festspiel. " - the open air play by local residents of
Winningen, with singing, music and local folklore dance group in
traditional costume. Beautifully timed to perfection to coincide with
the start of a deluge that left us all drenched to the bone!
A super evening meal. Then fantastic fireworks.!
In Winningen we missed the tractor
All because of the rainy factor.
But the play we saw was Oh! so good
Until we had a bit of Noah's Flood!
The food schmekt gut
The wine was fine
A big Hoorah for the beautiful Mosel and Rhine.
We really all had a wonderful trip
Renewing the bond of our special friendship
The villages of the Moselle and the Rhine
Looking so pretty and making fine wines.
The play was fun and full of mirth
Till the heavens opened with a cloudburst!
We all got soaked right down to the skin
And someone got lost in Winningen!
What I enjoyed most on the trip was the visit to Winningen.
In the morning we met the " Weinhexe" at a wine tasting and saw her
again several times in the course of the day in various functions and
guises.
A wonderful trip renewing and firming old friendships.
Mosel and Rhein so different. Majestic , busy Rhine and calm, lovely Mosel.
We had a long, enjoyable Rhine boat trip from Rudesheim taking in the
Interesting scenery.
Equally lovely, our drive along the Mosel from Trier back to Koblenz.
an unforgettable holiday.
In the good hands of our friendly coach driver Paul, we went to Rudesheim. In this small town we experienced many German delights in a leisurely way.
We came back on the river cruiser " Goethe" which gave us wonderful views of the Rhine, the valley, the villages and castles.
On board some of us enjoyed an original Rudesheimer Kaffee with Asbach !
TRIER--- the Roman bits & the Lindt shop!
RUDESHEIM-- the Mechanical Museum.
Everything about the trip was wonderful. Everything was very well organised
with a lovely, friendly and helpful atmosphere.

RISK ASSESSMENT (HEALTH AND SAFETY) POLICY
RISK ASSESSMENT (HEALTH AND SAFETY) POLICY
The policy outlines the processes and mechanics of managing risk and carrying out generic risk assessments. There is no one definition of risk. Risk means different things to different people. It may be more useful to think instead of risk in terms of considering the consequences of any action and the likelihood of any harm arising from it. Some situations or activities present a potential or real risk that should be weighed up in the context of each individual event undertaken by NNKFA. NNKFA provide guidance, checklists and an assessment form on their website for event organisers to use. The relevance of this assessment form is to identify and mitigate the potential hazards members might encounter whilst taking part in NNKFA events. This will include identifying hazards for each event and deciding whether existing precautions are enough or more is needed to make the risk as small as possible. Dated 30/09/23
