CLITHEROE’S SS Mary and Paul’s Scout Troop presented a “thank you’’ badge to motor cyclist John Smithson to mark his recent sponsored ride which raised more than £270 for the troop’s funds. John and his wife, Sheila,

by group chairman Mr John Clayton during a coffee evening in aid of funds, held at the home of Mr and Mrs P e t e r C a r p e n t e r , “Ashbrook,” Ribblesdale Avenue, Ciitheroe. The evening raised £78. Mr and Mrs C a rp e n te r were t h a n k e d by Mr s E. Lavender.
