Selby-Carentan Twinning

Selby-Carentan Twinning Creating Friends across the Channel since 1973 Following the great World Wars, a scheme began to find 'Twin' towns and cities from different nations.

The aim is to create greater understanding of cultures, traditions and similarities. Our group works to promote friendship between the people of Selby in Yorkshire, England and those of Carentan in Normandy, France. Every year members get together for a weekend in May to enjoy joint visits and events. The annual visits alternate between the 2 countries. The visitors are hosted by a local family, c

reating bonds which have frequently lasted a lifetime. Over the weekend both visitors and hosts attend joint trips and events, including a Saturday night dinner dance. Members in each country also come together during the year to raise funds to support travel and event costs, plus to plan the activities of their hosting weekend. It does not matter if you are unable to speak the other's language well, there are always plenty of translators around to help. All you need to join is a desire to make new friends.

It's that time of the month again, for us to meet up with new members for a social drink. We are a friendly bunch, and there is no pressure to join the full organisation.

Selby will be hosting Carentan visitors this year, they arrive late afternoon on Weds 8 May and leave early morning on Sunday 12 May. We have lots of trips and treats planned including visits to Cannon Hall, Elvington Air Museum and a big party on Saturday night.

You just need to be willing to join in the organising and taking part in the events we host for our guests . We also have social events throughout the year with the Selby based members.

Come along to The Barco Lounge on Sunday 3 March, between 2pm and 4pm, to find out more. Or email us on [email protected].

Let us know you are coming, so we can look out for you !
