and well they might be. The weather has favoured


their annual holidays and most of them have come back to beautiful surroundings, so that there is no violent con­ trast between what they enjoyed on holiday and the conditions under which they will live until the next holiday break. As one travels and passes

Grounds where playing fields are available and where outdoor activities can be allowed full


rein. Dr. Laithwaite explains th a t , . .


the scheme was brought about following the recent Methodist circuit churches amalgamation. Three C l i t h e r o e churches


(Waterloo, Moor Lane and Wes­


ley) united to form a new Trinity Methodist Church. “ The united youth activities


of this new church are strong and arc being co-ordinated m one building to be known as the “ Youth Centre." One result 01 the amalgamation scheme ap ar t from the fusion of two small voutli club into a larger club has been the actual increase in the number of leaders available to run these youth organisa­


tions," be stated. Dr. Laithwaite remarked th a t


i t was s trange th a t some people who worked little for one church, now worked h a rd for the


T r in i t y . “ This building, which is com-


pletelv separate from the Church and Sunday school premises,


was owned by the old Wesley Church." continues Dr. Laith­


waite. “ Until October. 1962. it was leased to a textile firm in the town. Prior to th a t it was the old Wesley day school."

The new tru s t have termina­ ted the rental agreement, and


handed the building over to the vouth committee for conversion ‘into full accommodation for all


vouth activities. The premises will eventual!'


comprise of nil entrance hall, a lounge, snooker room, table tennis room, olfice, for the youth club leader, games and lecture room/dnnee hall, toilets, cloak­ room. and wash room for the girls, and the boiler liou.se. Tile youth club members have


th a t this will be almost doubled. Together with the church’s


uniformed organisations t h e club should prove Clitheroc’s liveliest centre for young people. Thought i t is a Methodist Church youngsters of any demonination are welcome as club members.


PROGRAMME When the youth centre is


opened i t is hoped to s ta r t a Scout troop. At present there are cubs, guides and brownies, but there is no accommodation for


scouts. The envisaged programme is:


Tuesdays—vouth club: Wednesdays—cub pack and youth club:


Mondays—senior scouts and scouts:


Thursday—guide company; Fridays—brownies and youth club.
