REPRESENTATIVES from more than 70 organisations braved the snow to take part in a tourism-boosting event.

They met in Leyburn, to take part in an annual leaflet and information exchange.

Accommodation and information providers attended the event to collect bulk supplies of leaflets for the forthcoming tourist season.

Richmondshire's assistant tourism officer Jill Bell said: "The event allows people to get together, talk about their businesses and pick up all the leaflets they need to display in their pubs, guesthouses and shops."
