GPO exhortation to “post

Mr Iligginson, whose


parish is particularly ridespread, covering more than 14 square miles of moorland and Itll, explained: “I shall not he sending any cards inlhefuture, so my greet? ings cover, no t only CWstmas but forthcom- iquinivcrsaries as well. "Increased p o s ta l dups will bring to an

An SOS from the


Council


THE Ribble Valley Sports and Recreation Advisory Council is in danger of going out of existence, unless it receives more support, chairman Mr Neville Keighley warned this week.


': With the council’s annual meeting coming up on October 22nd, Mr Keighley revealed that the number of organisa­ tions, affiliated has dropped from more than 30 to 10 in the past year. Now he has written to


every sport or recreational organisation he knows of in the Ribble Valley, appealing for attendance at the meeting, “The job of the sports coun­


cil is to bring pressure on the district council to .support all sorts of sporting and recrea­ tional activities in all parts of the Ribble Valley area,” says Mr Keighley.


Pressure “We need the backing of


every organisation we can get, to enable us to be a strong and useful organisation. “If we pool our resources


and present a united front we c an b r in g trem en d o u s pressure to bear.” .Mr Keighley thinks that


many organisations have ceased to pay their nominal affiliation fees because they feel that the sports council’s efforts are being directly sol­ ely towards Clitheroe and football. “It just happens that the


first project we pressed for was the new changing rooms at Roefield. But progress will come to all eventually.

THE fight against prop­ osed closure of Rivers- mead School, Grindleton, has taken another step forward this week with the launching of a protest petition by an action group of local parents. The objectors have given

A ‘grate’ find!


IT WAS money down the drain — but it wasn’t wasted on Sabden schoolboys Peter Robinson and Douglas Littler. Peter, of Barnes Street,


and Douglas, of Pendle Street West, stand to gain £1.50 after finding a hoard of copper coins three feet below a grate in Whalley Rond, Sabden. Peter and Douglas handed


their find to the police but the money will be returned to them if it is not claimed. At present it seems likely


that they will be in luck, for the police are as baffled as the boys about how the coins came to be down the drain.
