CLITHEROE Chess Club h3a a difficult tie in their opening game in the second division of the Ea s t Lanca­ shire Chess Club, being beaten <1-2 by last season’s champions, Lucas A. The match, at the Station


Hotel, was a close-run affair and at one stage it looked as if Clitheroe could snatch a shock


win. Bernard Shaw, playing well , .


below his best, was soon in trouble and was quickly beaten. In the second game, Eric Mansfield star ted quiet­ ly, but steadily gained the apper'hand to checkmate his opponent. George Hardman give his side their second win, but Vincent Tudisco lost the fourth game after having built up a considerable advantage. Newcomer Brian Car r also


gained a positional advantage, but was unable to convert this to a win. In the final game, Woistenholme lost a fte r

DIXON —TODD Mr Peter James Dixon,


youngest son of Mr and Mrs Frank Dixon, of Peel Street, Clitheroe, and Miss Linda Todd, only daughter, of Mrs Doris Barn es, of Union. Street, Low Moor, were mar­ ried at St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, on Saturday. The bride­ groom is an electrician and the bride a wages clerk.


Given away by her brother,


Mr Steven Todd, the bride wore an Edwardian gown of white chiffon organza trim­ med with Swiss guipure lace. She had a white picture hat of matching lace and a shower bouquet of flame roses, freesia and chincherinchee.


The ch ie f bridesmaid,

A CONTROVERSIAL plan to'build an £8,000 community centre on Langho’s:Moorland Road i play a r ea . has, .been turned . down by the. Ribble Valley Council’s Development Sub-Committee.’ .


.- When the scheme was first


mooted by the village parish council, 25 residents wrote to the Ribble Valley authority to protest that the centre won Id lessen the play space available for children and could aho encourage vandalism. . At a recent meeting of the


sub-committee, members ag­ reed to turn down the scheme on the recommendation of Chief Architect and Planning. Officer Mr Charles Wilson. In a report, Mr Wilson


suggested that the develop­ ment would mean an increase in vehicle movement and gen­ eral activity in the area, which would be' damaging to the existing play area facilities and the amenities of nearby residents. Mr Wilson added, however,


th a t the project was a “genuine and sincere” attempt by the parish council to provide a nucleus for parish activities. “The site was not so much chosen as forced upon them by lack of alternatives,” he said. The plan was for .an ex-war


department sectional wooden building,1 costing £400, to be constructed on the site. Ancil­ lary site works would have put the overall cost up to £8,000. Seventeen of the objections


came from residents whose homes back on to the play area; the remaining seven from other villagers.

LAND BILL ‘INFRINGEMENT


OF LIBERTY’ —Councillox


THE Community Land Bill, now being debated by Parliament, was described as “one Of the unacceptable faces of Socialism” by Coun. Bill Fleming (Langho) at a meeting of the Ribble Valley'Council’s Planning


Committee. Coun. Fleming's^ criticisms


followed an explanation of the complex Bill by Chief Execu­ tive Officer Mr Michael Jack- son. In a report, he explained the bill’s threefold aim: • To enable the community
