HIND MY BIKE! IT’S A PROBLEM AT THE POOL

And, warned Baths Man­


ager Mr Roger Allison this iveek, the culprits are likely to find themselves in trouble if


they are caught. "The situation has no doubt


become more acute recently because darkness is falling


-


e a r l ie r ,” said Mr Allison., “ T h o s e re sp o n s ib le a re youngsters. They don’t use the pool but just come down to mess around outside but there is likely to be trouble for any­ one we catch misbehaving.” The problem was highligh­


ted this week by teacher Mr Philip Royle, of SalthillRoad, C l i th e ro e , who to ld th e Advertiser and Times he had twice had to drive to Edisford


, to "rescue” his son Nigel (10) ,after hooligans had immobil­ ised his pushbike..


A favourite trick,' said Mr Royle, senior classics master


■ a t Queen Elizabeth’s Gram­ mar School, Blackburn, is to le t down cycle, ty re s and throw the valves away. And on two occasions Nigel has found the dynamo and front lig h t of his bike tampered


with:— an apparent attempt, at theft.


> . “I admit the staff are faced'


with a difficult problem but I ■ am very concerned about what


is happening at the pool,” said Mr Royle,who has brought th e , matter to the attention both of baths officials and the police, “Perhaps parents should make sure they know what their children are doing in the even­


ings.”


PLAYGROUPS SEEK CASH HELP


FACED with ever-increasing running costs, the leaders of local playgroups have banded together in a bid to obtain cash aid from the Ribble Valley Council. • Representatives of many of.


the Valley’s 19 pre-school playgroups have formed a branch of the national Pre- School Playgroups Associa­ t io n — w i th th i aim of minimising the cost of their service to parents. Many rural groups are find-

three years ago from London where she had received pro­ fessional training at the Slade School • of A r t and Royal Academy Schools.

She and her husband purch­ ased the farm in 1961 and used


■ it as a country home until Mr- Harrison retired. Mrs Harrison built up a con­


siderable knowledge of local beauty spots and potential pic­ ture-matter during her visits


' to ‘"White Stones,” and when | the time came for the perma­ nent move, she had plenty of material to work on.. In addition to her talents


.with the brush, Mrs Harrison has put her pen to good use


"and written a book on ballet costume 'en titled “How to dress dancers,” which has just |

<¥* rt- 5i Savings ■ Already some parents with


more than one child are find­ ing the cost of sending them to twice-weekly playgroup ses­ sions prohibitive, said Mrs Car­


ter. One playgroup has had to reduce its sessions to one morning a week. S e c r e ta r y of th e new


branch, Mrs Vivienne Tingle, ■ of The Croft, Grindleton, envis­ ages numerous advantages for the member playgroups. A scheme has been inaugurated, for example, to buy paper, paints and other materials in bulk, thus saving money: “Amalgamation. also means


that representatives from the various groups can enjoy meeting over a common inter­ est. They can share problerns as well as benefiting gener­


ally by swapping ideas,” said Mrs Tingle.


“We have already, asked the


local authority for suppbrt and- we are hopeful that this will be forthcoming.” •


'Mrs Tingle-explained that


playgroups have always been self-supporting although most w e re s t ru g g l in g to keep abreast of overheads. Many ru ra l areas do not provide nursery schools and in these circumstances playgroups ful­ fil an important role.


Many of the Ribble Valley's


p la y g ro u p s have already shown an interest in joining the branch arid’Mrs Tingle is hopeful that the remainder


will soon follow suit., Treasurer of the branch is


Mrs Carol Pavey, an official of th e T r in i ty playgroup in Clitheroe; book buyer is Mrs Pat Bailey (Chatburn) and th e ' committee includes Mrs Mar­ g a r e t Brown, matron of Bright Street Day Nursery, Clitheroe, and’ Mrs Audrey Johnson, of the local social services department. . The branch plans to meet


monthly, alternating between a-speaker one month and a general meeting the other.


Next meeting will be on


Tuesday, December 2nd, at 8 p.m. I t will take place in the Bright Street nursery and the speaker, Mrs Cynthia Nan-


son, of Slaidburn, will give a demonstration of Christmas decorations suitable for a playgroup.


London . . by hike


F IF T E EN Stonyhurst Col­ lege pupils will jump straight into the saddle when they begin their Christmas holiday on December 15th. After a term of hard work


at school, the boys will start their holidays by taking part in an arduous three-day spon­ sored bicycle ride to London in aid of local voluntary ser­


vices. They hope to complete the


250-mile journey in three days, with stops each night at the homes of parents along


the route. A' back-up van, manned by


two members of staff, will travel with the boys to ensure their safety. Sponsorship has come mainly from parents.


S. Africa


IT was something of a bus­ man’s holiday for Ribble Val­ ley Councillor Mrs Myra Clegg, of Wiswell; when she went to South Africa with her husband Charles. For one of the many ports


of call on her three-week holi- day was a visit to a Johannes­


burg council meeting.- During the council’s after­


noon break she presented a plaque bearing the Ribble Valley coat of arms and a letter of civic greeting from the Mayor, Coun. Tom Robin­ son, to the Mayor of Johan'


nesburg. And at Tuesday night’s


meeting of the Ribble Valley Council, Mrs Clegg, who returned home on Saturday, conveyed his greetings to Coun. Robinson. Mrs Clegg went to visit her


sister, Mrs Barbara Liebich who emigrated to Johannes


burg 17 years ago. Mrs Liebich, a pharmacist,


is in charge of production and analysis for the giant German chemical firm Bayer. - Mrs Clegg found the Johan­


nesburg Council similar to the local one. “Their local govern­ ment set-up is very much like our own, as is the language of the councillors,” she said.


A night in the Black Forest


A proud day m


O


“A ONCE-in-a-lifetime occasion” for a local authority was how the High Sheriff of Lancashire, Major Basil Greenwood, of Whalley, described tlie.presentation of the Ribble Valley Borough’s Grant of Arms. ,


At a special handing over


ceremony Maj. Greenwood told council members on Tuesday that it was a moment to be treasured. The Granting of Arms was a


privilege bestowed by the Queen, through the Earl Marshal. By seeking it the Council was perpetuating the traditions on which the true nature of this country .was


founded. .Maji Greenwood said it


pleased him personally to have been the one to make the presentation, for his family had been prominent in local government life for many years. His great-grandfather had been on Blackburn RDC when i t s ta r ted , and his. grandfather and two uncles had also played their part in council work. “In fact, to date, my family


has given 80 years’ continuous voluntary service to local gov­ ernment," he said. The Grant of Arms and the


letters patent from the Col­ lege of Arms were received by th e M a y o r , Coun. Tom Robinson. Pre sent at the ceremony


were - the two designers . . . former Clitheroe Borough Surveyor, -Mr J. Newton Bell, and Mr Ellis Tomlinson, of


Cleveleys. Mr Tomlinson explained


th a t th e Arms had been designed to include features of all the previous authorities — such as a stag for Bowland, and the Castle for Clilheroe

Mr Allison has promised


also to look into a suggestion of Mr Royle’s that the bike stand area should be better illuminated to help combat the problem. VI will certainly see
