Club, has experienced both. Before arriving in Clitheroe s Lancaster Drive five-and-a-half years ago, Mrs. Foulkes and her husband lived in Northern Nigeria. A science teacher by pro­


fession Mrs. Foulkes had always dreamed about living in Africa, and was tlu'illed that her husband, whom she met while teaching in Leamington Spa, shared her ambition. So they went off to Nigeria,
