Twinning is important for our town and youth organisations to learn about cultures in other countries. It enables exchanges of education, culture and sport. Other areas for town twinning can be achieved through projects which will keep the momentum of twinning strong and give the process fresh impetus for the future.

The Old Pembroke Borough District Council which also covered Pembroke Dock decided to twin with Bergen Germany some 38 years ago and when the change from district council to Pembroke Town Council and Pembroke Dock Town council came about these links remained.  It’s true to say that Pembroke Town Council were prominent in maintaining these links but in recent years the formation of a joint twinning committee between the two councils has seen more events take place.  Recently a band and a shooting club have visited, staying at the Water Sports Centre in Llanion with a similar amount of financial support from both councils.

The twinning with Pembroke Malta came about because of the Flying boat history as Pembroke town in Malta is close to the Flying boat base in the docks at Valetta Malta.  Trips have taken place in both directions with the latest visit being The Scouting Association of Malta to Pembroke Dock Scout Groups.
