RGLI Twining Initiative - St Peter Port & Masnieres

In 2018, with the support of its Patron's and its whole team, the RGLI with the Mairie of Masnieres and the Constables and the Douzaine of St Peter Port (the principle island Parish in the RGLI's history) created a lasting connection, sharing our collective histories together.

On 102nd anniversary of the Battle of Les Rue Verte, Masnieres and St Peter Port signed the declaration of Twinning in the Salon of the Hauteville House, the residence of one of France's greatest son's who lived in exile in Guernsey, Victor Hugo.

Twinning Team

Our twinning teams for both locations work with the stewardship of the RGLI LBG on multiple annual activities. Regular work includes memorials and remembrance services, the Rue Verte flag journey, the RGLI student exchange logistics, visits between associated civil and military community partners and the promotion of literary, history and cultural language and learning and the annual RGLI Memorial Ride. The twinning group also promotes outreach programs that involve other shared community interest groups in the arts and sports.
