8 Clilheroe Advertiser and Times, July 14th, 1977


STORY TIME


“ARE you sitting comfort ably ? ” . Then Miss Jane Bailes will tell you a story. On certain days during the


school holidays, Jane — Kibble Valley district chil­ dren’s librarian — is plan­ ning to have a story hour for children between the ages of five and eight at Whalley and Clitheroe libraries. The idea is to encourage


children to enjoy reading for themselves and give them an idea of the type of books available at the library. If younger children want


to go along too, Jane doesn’t re<Uly mind, and if the read­ ings are a success, more will be arranged. Readings will be given at


Clitheroe library on Tues­ day, July 26th, between 2-30 and 3 p.m. and again on August 16th and 23rd at the same time. Jane will be at Whalley library on Wednes­ day August 17th and 24th, between 10-30 and 11 a.m.


. f-.-4 FRESH LOOK AT LOTTERY


THE idea of a Ribble Valley district lottery to provide money for more recreational


facilities is to be reconsi­ dered. Coun. Mrs Beryl Cassidy


told the council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee: “ I


know there is a certain feel­ ing against a lottery, but if it was pointed out that the money would go towards these facilities, people would be trilling to take part.” Mrs Cassidy said more fa c i l it ie s would almost


c e r t a i n l y c u t d own vandalism. It was agreed to ask the


chairman and vice-chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee which turned down the idea to consider it again.


CLITHEROE Rotarians g a i n e d a tw o -w i c k e t victory in their annual match against the Round Table at Chatbum Road ground on Monday. The Round Table scored

Friends Two events are being


arranged by St Helen’s Church, Waddington, in connection with the annual Dedication Festival of the church in September. One is a Flower Festival,

afield. The suggestions, made at


a congregational meeting, are being backed by the PCC, which feels that many people may wish to help


uphold the work of the church and maintain its actual structure. Canon C. F. Goodchild, in


the chair, said that following the response to the Tower and Bells appeal, he was co^ident that the Fellow­ ship would be a success and t h a t t h r o u g h t h e enthusiasm of the PCC it would add zest in work and worship.

PLAY AREA IN SIGHT


CHILDREN in Clither-


oe’s Salthill Road may soon have a play area. Ribble Valley (Council is to


lease a 2.7 acre plot to Clitheroe Town Ckiuncil, at £10 an acre per annum for five years. Mr Peter Johnston, assis­


tant planning officer, told a meeting of the Ribble Valley Planning and Transportation Committee that initiative for the play area had come from the Town Council. He suggested that the


Town Council be asked to be responsible for fencing, and also that they should send in a planning application for the area. He pointed out that the present rent on the land, now used for grazing, was £10 a year. Councillor G. Ainsworth,


Clayton-le-Dale and Sales- bury, said he would like to know how much more of the Borough Council’s land was being , let at this ridiculous price. It was scandalous. “We would get £50 to £60 an acre


for this type of land. We ought to review the situation urgently.” Councillor Ains­ worth said the (Council could be losing a terrific amount of money. The committee agreed to have a report on Council land rents.
