The practice of town twinning was developed in Europe after the Second World War as a way to bring European people into a closer understanding of each other and to promote cross-border projects of mutual benefit.
An early example of town twinning dates back to 1947 when Bristol Council sent five 'leading citizens' on a goodwill mission to Hanover.
While still more popular as a concept in Europe than elsewhere, the idea has now spread to other continents, leading to some very interesting pairings.

 Pete Stowe Bristol 1937 Whitchurch Speed Trials
Early in 1937 the Club convinced the Bristol Corporation that it was unsatisfactory for the city to be without a major motor sporting event, and reached agreement to stage some Speed Trials at the City airport at Whitchurch.
Initially access to the airport was only via the narrow lane from Whitchurch to Bishopsworth, but before long a new public road (Airport Road) was constructed from Happy Landings on the A37, with a narrower private road along the eastern boundary of the airport leading south to the terminal buildings.
For the organising Bristol MCandLCC it was financially a complete failure, and the event was not to be repeated.
