THE monthly meeting of the SXTA took place at the Pheasant Inn, Salt Lane.

Items discussed included planning for the 2015 tour to Xanten in Germany, which is to take place from Thursday, June 11 to Monday, June 15. The trip is soon to be advertised in Salisbury and surrounding villages, as any interested local families and individuals are welcome to participate.

The cost of the trip includes travel by coach and accommodation with host families in Xanten.

For anyone wishing to make their own accommodation arrangements, alternatives can be suggested.

Other social events planned are “Kaffee und Kuchen” on Sunday, March 29 and the anniversary lunch on Sunday, April 19, as well as a visit to London and ascent of Big Ben on June 23.

After the formal meeting, the quiz night was held, which tested everyone’s knowledge on Germany and Xanten.

All this was accompanied by lots of laughter, good-humoured disputes and a prize for members of the winning team.

The SXTA meets the first Wednesday in the month at the Pheasant Inn, Salt Lane, at 7.30pm.

Further information about membership and events is available from the secretary on 01980 863255.
