History
The Society is more than 50 years old and was formed, as were many others at the time, in an attempt to heal the wounds and mistrust between the two nations after the war.
At the time of the formation, there were also separate exchanges at the youth level and as a result, the society has always been a society for adults. We are mindful of our changing-membership and are considering how we move forward to ensure a healthy future.
In the early days there was often an involvement of members of the RMBC but as the aims and objectives have changed, any Mayoral contact has been separate.
