A EEQUEST for infor­ mation about Morris dancing in the Clitheroe and Kibble Valley area, has already brought a response — including one photograph o f y ou n g d a n ce r s at Waddington — and there is a good chance of a Clitheroe group being formed in the near future.


Research by 28-year-old


Mr Bruce Dowles, a member o f the Kibble Valley Council staff, has brought informa­ tion of at least five groups in the district in the past. Now he is confident that sufficient support will be

AN amended plan for the change of use of a house in Holden Street, Clitheroe, to a Moslem educational estab­ lishment has been received b y th e R ib b le Valley Council. Original plans of Mr M.


Amin, of 22 Holden Street, to use No. 26 for teaching about 12 children were turned down by the council’s D e v e l o p m e n t S u b - Committee earlier this year. A council spokesman said


that the new application sought the use of the house for one month a year — during the festival of Rama­ dan — instead of all the y e p round. The application \vill be discussed by the Develop­ ment Sub-Committee in September.


JUMBLE


AFTER orgarasing a jumble sale near their homes, five L ow Moor youngsters handed over a donation of £1.16 to Mrs Marjorie Hollywood, warden of the St Ann’s Court sheltered hous­ ing scheme. They were brothers' Paul and Stephen Traynor, Trevor Walki Alan Barnes and Glyn Williams.

A PAY increase for the 38 canvassers who help compile the Ribble Valley electoral roll has been approved by the Finance and General Purposes Committee. Tne canvassers, who


spend a fortnight each September checking on information for the lists, have previously received an average of £70 each. ’The new rate will give them an extra £5 — a seven-and-a- half per cent increase.


Megille, owner of the Forest of Eperlecques region of France, which will be toured by members of Slaidbum Silver Band and Blackpool Youth Band. With them will go the


Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Edward Newhouse, and the Rev. Arthur Higgln- son, vicar of Whitewell, Mitton and Hurst Green. For members of the Slaid­


bum band it will mean a reunion mth old acquaint­ ances, for last year they paid a brief visit to the area — used by the Germans to launch their V2 rockets — during a promotional visit to


France. Arranging the local end of


the visit is Mr Anthony Perry, of the Bayley Arms, Hurst Green. “M. De Megille decided to


come over to make arrange­ ments on this occasion, as our second visit will be much more formal than the first one,” he said. 'liie Lancashire party mil


a r r i v e in C a la is on September 3rd and play at a


memorial to the Green Jack ets, who held -out against strong German odds while British troops were evacuated from Dunkirk. The following day, the


bands will take part in Remembrance services to


World War II victims at Eperlecques. In the after­


noon they will be enter­ tained by the mayor of


Eperlecques and the civic head o f the neighbouring toivn of Watten. Before leaving for home


they will join in the biggest market and street party in Europe, an annual event in Lille.

He has already discussed


the idea ivith members of the (^olne Royal Morris men, who are weU-known in NE Lancashire, and hopes they will be able to teach any new Kibble Valley group the two special routines known as the Clitheroe and Whalley dances. Our picture of “Miss

Although there are no


d e ta i ls o f that group, pictured by Mr E. Buck, the well-known Clitheroe photo­ grapher of about half-a- century ago, it is still poss­ ible that some of the dancers may still be alive, and able to give further information to Mr Dowles.

C L IT H E R O E has another up and coining cro s s -cou n try star. Eleven-year-old Patrick Anderton, of Newton Street, has only been


running for 10 months, but already he has shown his class at


county level. He was first across


the line by a 50 metre margin at a recent Lancashire under-13


race at Lancaster, and earlier in the year was well placed at meetings at Jlossendale and


• Kendal. A former^pupil of St


James’s School — he goes to Ribblesdale County Secon­ dary School after the holi­ days — Patrick is also show­ ing promise as a 1500m. athlete. He has done times


, of 5.05 minutes at Liverpool and Burnley.


He is also a keen-footbal­


ler. Until a few months am he p la y ed f o r Pendle Pioneers, but following a series of injuries decided to concentrate on athletics.


But he is a lw a y s a


welcome face among the club members and is looking forward to going with them a week tomormw to see the Manchester City set-up_ and watch the players t r ^ .


Patrick, too, knows all


about training. He is out with the Ribble Valley Harriers five days each

A dedicated athlete, he well pleased with his prog­


ress so far. But he knows only too well that he is going to have to train very hard to reach the top.


He has received lots of


encouragement, not the least from famous long distance runners Brendan


Foster and Ron Hill whom he has talked to at meetings.


parents, Russell and Janet Anderton, are there to encourage him.


. Also Patrick takes part in


special speed and stamina exercises put on at Clitheroe Cricket Club’s ground by Harriers’ coach Chns Wood.

“ Mr Winkley’s a photo­


the last Clitheroe group, which was disbanded in 1935, was an all-woman


team. • 'The economic depression


o f the 1930s may also have contributed to the loss of ■interest, as did the change in holiday habits, when local Wakes entertainments gave way to holidays at seaside resorts.


O ld e r p e o p l e w i l l


remember a wide variety of do-it-yourself entertain­


ment, including children’s games such as “whip and t o p ,” “ buck and stick,” “hoops,” etc., which seemed


to die out with the spread of radio and more sophisticated entertainment. The decline’ in Morris and


Maypole dancing seemed part of that social change — with one of the few surviv­ ing aspects being Carnival M o rn s D a n c in g , s t i l l featured in major proces­ sions and in keen competi­ tion betiveen groups of girls and young women. _ But Mr Dowles is confi­


dent that Morris men can dance again locally — and he is keen to ensure that a l o ^ group will keep to the strict traditions and routines which have been preserved.
