day were the Mayor and Mayoress of C 1 i t h c r o e Councillor and Mrs. John Hall, the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress Alde rma n E. Crossley and Mrs. D. Satter- thwaite. the Fete Queen Mrs. Ann Dewhursl. members of the Town Council, officials and many leading citizens. The variety show was


devised and produced under the direction of Councillor E. Macnaughlon. and the com­ pere was a former member of Clithcroc Council Mr. Ray­ mond Grice who is a well known figure in the musical and entertainment world ot


East Lancashire. In a programme which was


well varied and contained items to suit both young and old the only unfortunate incident was at the end of the show, when the “.star turn ’ Norman Ghent ol Burnley who should have appeared with Richard Pearson at the piano was delayed and did not arrive until the planned final item was taking place. In view ol this lact and


taking into account the late­ ness 'o f the hour, it was decided not to prolong the programme and all Mr.


Ghent could do was to have a brief moment in which to express his regret that lie was not able to do his act.


THE PERFORMERS Taking part in the enter­


tainment were the “2 G’s”. the Creole Four, vocalists Rose­ mary Cook and Ruth Forster. Susan Blackburn (a young dialect reciter), members of St. James’ School choir, pupils of Moorland School and St. Denys’ Home, the Margaret Sandham dancers, Meldini and his Doves, members of the 4th. Battn. East Lancs. Band. Clitheroc Theatre Group, St. Michael’s Players. Clitheroe Concert Orchestra and Clitheroe Pipe

Florence Cottani and Dorothy Birtwell. It will thus be seen that


the promoters had catered for many types and had tried to encourage youngsters who one day will possibly play an important part in the town s
