Many sights may be discovered in Alzey's centre with half-timbered houses,
the
historic Schloß, shops, restaurants and cafés. Situated in the wine region of Rheinhessen Palatinate there is plenty to explore too in the surrounding area.
Throughout the UK there have been celebrations for the accomplishment of seventy years of service by Queen Elizabeth II. Harpenden Town council organised events for this royal occasion including a funfair and several stalls selling produce such as sizzling German sausages and delectable Austrian cakes.

It has been a little over a year now with periods of lockdown, socially distancing and generally taking special care. We've had plenty of on-line meetings and messages, walking in the countryside and taking-up new activities. We have two collections, one showing pictures of Harpenden and the surrounding areas with the changing seasons and one that is specifically Covid-19 related including tests and vaccinations. Particular thanks to all who contributed their photos.
A couple of months ago our Friends of Alzey Chair Susan Vinther stumbled over a small collection of Alzey posters from yesteryear. The tourism poster may be familiar to some of you and possibly the wine promotion ones, but probably not the art posters. Here they are for you to see, click here. Thanks to Paul Gloess for photographing them.
Photos from our visit are divided into five locations or occasions with Albums for each of them. Please see the following:
The Harpenden sign on the common has been restored to include once again, the town twinning signs for Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and Alzey. Friends of Alzey President Rosemary Ross has written a letter of thanks to Town Mayor Brian Ellis for the restoration of the sign.
Following are a few photos from our big event and a photo album showing more.
