The Plymouth Ghana Link, 2003-2023
An illustrated talk by Peter Reid
Flag of Ghana
In May 2003 a group of 40 interested people agreed to find a city for Plymouth to partner with, subject to it being:
- Easy to get to, with an international airport
- Able to communicate in English
- The same size as Plymouth, not a capital city
- In a country at peace
Our partner city, Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana, is also:
- A major fishing harbour
- A naval base and port
- Four hours west of the capital, Accra, and
- Near beautiful beaches
By the end of the presentation you’ll be surprised and impressed by what we have achieved, and by the potential for future development . . . which you could all be part of.

Talks on Zoom
For talks on Zoom meetings
About two weeks before each talk all members will receive an emailed invite from our Meetings Co-ordinator, asking if they wish to attend the talk. There is a limited of 95 attendees, and these will be allocated to the first 95 responses to that email. A few days before the actual date of the talk, a link to join the meeting will be emailed to those confirmed acceptances. On the day of the talk, all attendees will be automatically ‘muted’ to avoid any interruptions from background noises.
All the talks on Zoom start at 11am, though you can sign in to Zoom from 10:30am.
No talks on Zoom currently scheduled.
