Snorkel club wins jousting trophy;
PER YARD MARKET
LIDSEYS
THE Ribble Valley Junior Snorkel Club — formed just eight months ago — scored several notable successes in its first annual Wind Dive event at Lake Windermere. The five-strong team beat
six other entrants to win the water-jousting trophy — run along similar lines to the mediaeval sport, but involving boats not horses. Individual victories were
recorded by Sarah Donnelly (11) in the girls’ fin race, and John Grayson (12) in the same event for boys. Teams came from all over
the North of England to com-' pete, and the Ribble Valley club’s victories were particu larly good in the light of their limited experience. A senior team from the Rib
ble Valley Sub-Aqua Club competed in adult events held concurrently with the junior competitions, but unfortu nately failed to get among the prizes.
In the Junior team were
three brothers David, Graham and Douglas Underwood. Pictured here, from the
left, are Sarah Donnelly, David Underwood, John Grayston and Graham Under wood. Fifth member Douglas Underwood was not able to be present for the photograph.
Golden couple re-live wartime memories
MEMORIES of wartime rationing were recalled this week by a Clitheroe couple who celebrate their golden wedding on Sunday.
Mr John Spencer and his
wife, May, have particular reason to remember meat rationing. For, in Whalley Road, near to their present home, they ran a butcher’s shop.

to dole out eight pence worth of meat and four pence worth . of corned meat for every ration book. Corned meat then, by the way, cost a penny
Mr Spencer recalls having
an ounce. The couple have fond
memories of their early days of marriage even though, with three young children, they had to manage on a weekly wage of £2.
' They were contented times,
says Mrs Spencer. Although nowadays people were living better and had more money to spend, they did not seem as satisfied with life as she and her husband had been.
Both Clitheroe born, the Spencers went to St James’s
School together, and later met socially at local dances.
They married at Moor Lane
ters. Sadly, one died when she was 40, leaving two young sons, whom Mrs , Spencer keeps a motherly eye on.

to having her. family, Mrs Spencer was a weaver at the former Westhead’s Mill. Mr Spencer went straight into the butchery trade at his father’s shop in Whalley road. Like Mr Spencer, his
father, Mr Deighton Spencer, was extremely well-known in Clitheroe and among farming circles. Mr Spencer himself was in
the trade for 50 years, retir ing in 1960. He was a member of the Clitheroe Master Butchers’ Association.
Spencer joined her husband in the shop, and many of their customers became friends.
Now, in retirement, Mr
Spencer spends' a lot of his time at Clitheroe Social Club. He enjoys gardening and both he and his wife like driving in the countryside.
Because they have such a
wide circle of friends, and could not possibly invite them all to a party, Mr and Mrs Spencer decided to celebrate their golden wedding by hav ing a meal out with their immediate family.
Bouquets in appreciation

AS A mark of appreciation for the work they do for Clitheroe and District Lady Farmers, Mrs Annie Wood, secretary, and Mrs Phyllis Bleazard, tre asurer, were presented with sprays at the annual dinner- dance at Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn. Both ladies are con tinuing in office and are not retiring as was wrongly stated last week.

A meeting of the Parish
Council was told that negotia tions are still in progress with the Ribble Valley authority to buy a five-acre plot of land. The land is owned by Parish Council member Coun. Barry Dearing, of Moor Roods. . Although negotiations have
dragged on for some time, Parish Council clerk Mrs Carol Cherry told the Adver t is e r that agreement had never been nearer.
“Coun. Dearing has made a
considerable concession on the original price,” said Mrs Cherry. “We are nearer get ting an agreement than ever before, but no final settlement has been made yet.”
Mrs Cherry stressed the Council’s hope that agreement should be reached so that the village could at last have a suitable play area.

“This is the only piece of
land that has been offered. It is the nearest the Council have come to obtaining suit able land and we are very reluctant tolet the chance slip away.
“The land is all the village
would ever require for sports facilities and needs very little money spending on it.
“West Bradford is very
near the top of the Ribble Valley authority’s priority list of parishes needing recrea tional facilities. This is not surprising since we have none at all.”

A CHATBURN man who drove at 60 mph on Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, was fined £25 by Clitheroe magistrates for speeding. David Brough (55), of Dow-
