A party of visitors from Selby’s twin town Carentan, in France, are spending the weekend in Selby.

The 44-strong party are staying with host families and yesterday they spent the day in Whitby. On the way home they joined the steam train at Grosmont on its return to Pickering.

Tonight they will be entertained at a dinner at the Regen Centre in Riccall and will leave Selby early on Monday morning. Pictured is Sallie Lockwood, chair of the Selby Twinning Committee, and the Carentan President Pierre Thomine with the Selby hosts and their guests.
