Youth committee may be revived


A YOUNG People’s Activities Committee is hopefully to be established in the Ribble Valley in the near future, with the intention of organising entertainments specifically for young people.


' A similar organisation existed in the early 1970s,


before it folded almost unnoticed. This committee performed much sterling work in the arts field, includ­ ing the running of the rock/folk festivals at Clitheroe Castle, which enjoyed great success.


It is hoped that the new committee would do as much, if not more, for the young people of the Ribble Valley as


the old one did. The man behind the idea is Mr Bob Shepherd (21), manager of F. A. South and Co, King Street, Clitheroe. He has previously been a professional musician and a college social secretary and hopes to put this experience to use in the new venture. Anyone interested in setting up the committee is asked to get in touch with him. He can be contacted at 7 Park Avenue, Clitheroe or


by telephone (Clitheroe 26786) in the evenings only. Information about the old committee would also be gratefully received.


THE sound of music and the smell of barbecue cooking wafted over Sabden on Saturday as the village staged one of its biggest out­ door events. It was a barbecue and


with


disco held in two brightly- coloured marquees on the Pendle Street East field. More than 450 people


attended the event, which was organised by the com­ mittee and friends of Sabden FC. About £350 was raised towards the' drainage of the football field. The music was provided


by “Paul K Disco” and the food — hamburgers, saus­ ages, tea cakes and jacket potatoes — was served by committee members and their wives. The barbecue and disco

A £1,500 boost for RimingtoA


leisure scheme


THE 400 villagers of Rimington have 8,000 reasons for wanting their sports field, complete. For that is the number of pound notes in the kitty they have raised by dances, coffee evenings, whist drives and other events to provide a sports complex and children’s playground.


And their dream was


brought a step nearer last week when the Ribble Val­ ley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee recom­ mended a £1,500-grant towards the scheme, which will cost about £24,000. Mrs Mary Bairstow, 71-


y e a r -o ld chairman o f Rimington Recreation Association, greeted the grant with “ this is good news indeed.” But she added: “I would


not like anybody to feel that' we are anywhere near, our target yet. There is still a long way to go.” Mrs Bair­ stow said the money had been raised by “a lot of hard work” by the villagers. “We have a good team of


men who have gone out and got things done and most villagers have contributed to the work. “People seem to accept


that if you are a villager you have to join in and work for. the good of the village.” Mrs Bairstow said that


the football and cricket pitches were already in use on the sports field behind the Black Bull. The scheme, it was hoped, would eventu­ ally also contain tennis courts and changing rooms. She felt the children’s


playground would be of great benefit to the village’s 100 children, who have never had anywhere to play, except in the fields. “If we provide a proper


playground with swings and other facilities, it will benefit them and also save the farmers from being pes­


tered as they have been in the past,” she said. “But we must continue raising money to provide all these things.”


The Recreation Associa­


tion is now waiting to hear if the scheme will qualify for grants from the Sports Council and the Playing Fields Association.


“But we can’t expect that


these ^grants will cover the rest of the cost. We have to go on. working."
