Armistice Day
In November 2022, the residents of Stansted and Rungis attended their respective commemoration events for Armistice Day. This November, during the Remembrance Day service at the village cenotaph, the Twinning Association will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Rungis, and they will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Stansted, in a joint act of remembrance to honour people of both countries lost in conflict.
Cheese & Wine Party
Our party on 9th December 2022 became a drinks and fish & chips party with mainly Committee members attending. There was a general quiz and an exchange of Christmas Traditions quizzes between Rungis and Stansted via video link.
Christmas in Rungis
In December 2022, Rungis held their annual Christmas Market with donkey rides and a visit from Father Christmas. They also held a Christmas lights competition with a prize for the best lit house.
