Clitheroe Advertiser and Times,'March 9th, 1978 5 -l • „ v


CLITHEROE Round Table’s “talking news­ paper” scheme should hopefully be on the air next month. A public m e e t in g called to discuss the idea met with a tremendous response and almost £ 1 ,0 0 0 has been donated for equip­ ment.


news on cassettes for blind people in all parts of the Ribble • Valley. Already more than 40 blind people have said they want to receive the cassettes and the final figure is likely to be higher.


The service will provide


sed in detail at a public m e e t in g in Clitheroe Parish Hall, attended by about 85 people, many


The scheme was discus­ representing organisa­


tions. The Table’s community services convener, Mr


Brian Haig, said the response clearly indicated that there was enough in te re s t to launch the scheme. He reported that 223


people' had offered help, some as individuals and others representing 29 different groups, such as


the Lions and Women’s Institutes. Four people had so far offered help as editors. Mr Haig said that the


main concern now was to raise enough money for equipment. The Table needs £2,000 for a good t a p e r e c o r d e r and microphone, a high-speed duplicator to make copies' of a master cassette, tapes and special pouches which will be used to send the


com p le ted c a s s e t te s through the post. Prior to the meeting,


£676 had been raised, but several individuals and groups came forward with cheques which boosted the total to £970. Mr Haig outlined the


various duties of. editors, readers and administrators in the scheme.. He ex p la in ed th a t


recordings would take place on a Thursday night, with the editor gathering the news, mainly from the Advertiser and Times, and ensuring a mixed team of six or seven readers was available. Once the master tape


had been recorded, copies would be made on the high speed duplicator and put in the special pouches and posted. Blind people living in the town could well receive


their copies by Friday afternoon — the rest would have theirs on Saturday morning. •


co-ordinators will also be needed. They would be responsible for ensuring that all volunteers read on a regular basis and are informed on which night they will be needed.


Volunteers to be group The meeting heard radio


reporter Alan Muirhead, one of the editors of Black­ burn’s “ talking news­ paper" service, explain how the operation worked there. He also played part of a tape made for the Blackburn scheme. One of the problems, he


said, had been to provide a suitable venue for record­ ing the master- tape. Several suggestions were made at the meeting about a venue, including offices


under Clitheroe Civic Hall and at Shawbridge Mill. These are to be investi­ gated.


setting a timetable for future action. He felt it would be a good idea for those acting as editors to meet in about three weeks to do a “dry run” tape. i


Mr Haig concluded by Hopefully this would be


followed soon after by the recording of the first edition. Meanwhile, Mr Haig stressed the need for more donations for equip­ ment and further volun­ teers prepared to help in


' any way. Donations have come


from: Magna Books (£150), - ICI (£20), Flexible Rein­ forcements (£100), Trutex (£25), Clitheroe Round Table (£200), Clitheroe Chamber of Trade (£25), St John Ambulance (£21),


IN STITCHES ...FOR CHARITY-


WHEN it comes to jogging, Clitheroe folk are reluctant to put th e ir bes t foot forward, say Ribble Valley Harriers. The club began the


“jogging season” just over two weeks ago, but so far the response has been, in the words of committee member Mrs Doreen Hammonds, “mediocre.” A dozen or so keen


runners have braved blus­ te ry and damp Sunday mornings. The turnout has been


similar on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, when the session starts at 5-30 p.m. M r s Ha m mo nd s


explained: “I think the recent.bad weather has had a big influence on the turn­ out, but even so we’re a bit d i s a p p o in te d a t th e numbers.” However, one of the


runners regularly attending is a 50-year-old woman. Changing facilities, are


available at the starting point, Clitheroe’s Chatburn Road cricket ground. And all that is needed for


the initial one-mile exercise is a pair of pumps and some suitable clothing.


LTD |r Road,


Allotments to be


rationed


NO Clitheroe gardener will be allowed to cultivate more than two municipal allot­ ments in future because of the waiting list for plots. Town Clerk Mr Leslie


Telford told a meeting of the Town Council that there were 40 people on the list and it was felt that the number of allotments held by one person should be restricted. It applied to only three


Slaidburn Trefoil' Guild (£5), Chipping and District YFC (£10), B. Dugdale and Son (£50), Waddington Methodist Church (£2), Grindleton WI (£20), Whalley and District Lions (£50), Clitheroe Ladies Circle (£50), Clitheroe Girls’ Grammar School (£50), Standfast WI (£10), Ribble Valley Red Cross (£10).


Various individuals have


also made donations, one being a blind lady who saved over £2 in 2p pieces. These individuals gifts total £10.83.


Cash promised includes: Whalley Parochial Church Council (£10), Ribblesdale Cement (£75), Pendleton WI (£25), and Clitheroe P a r ish Church (£50). Several other groups have promised donations, but have not yet fixed a figure.


‘R ea son ab le ’ doubt


A SUMMONS against a Dunsop Bridge man alleging that he did not' obey a stop sign at the junction of Shaw­ bridge Street and Duck S tre e t , Clitheroe, was dismissed by Clitheroe magistrates on the grounds that there was “reasonable doubt.” John Charles Barlow, of


Keeper’s Cottage, Whiten- dale, pleaded not guilty. Mr John Backhouse (defending) said Barlow saw a police car at the opposite side of the junction. He slowed down, stopped for a second or so and then drove on. Duck Street was clear of traffic at the time.


Inflation


OWING to in f la t io n , Clitheroe Town Council is to increase its annual grant to the town’s Concerts Society from £20 to £30.


MEMBERS of St Mary’s Church MU, Gisburn, have literally been in stitches for the last two years. For they have knitted enough small squares between them to make 10 blankets to send to Mother Teresa’s relief fund in Calcutta.


And yet another two blan­ kets were finished at last week’s “knit-in,” held at “Sunnymeade” — the home of enrol- l in g m em b e r Mrs M a rg a re t Hudson. These will now be forwarded to Bradford, b e fo re b e in g s e n t abroad.


Deadline is near on sport grants


APPLICATIONS for grants towards meeting the cost of any proposed sports- facilities in the Ribble Valley villages should be sent to the borough council as soon as possible.


But they will soon be followed by others, for Mrs Hudson reckons the group s t i l l has enough squares left for three more blankets.

agreed with the restriction, but was against taking the allotments away from the gardeners in the meantime. She suggested that the rule should be enforced when tenancies of multiple hold­ ings elapsed. Mr Telford said that he


would visit the people invol­ ved and ask them to give up their extra allotments.


House sales \ 4


THE Ribble Valley Council has sold 30 houses to tenants since it started the policy two years ago, members of the Housing Committee were told. In- that time the council has received 151 inquiries and 62 valuations have been carried out.


FAMILY LIFE


C L ITH E R O E U nited Reformed Church cele­ brated Mothering Sunday with a family service in which children and adults took part. Lessons, with special


references to family life, were read by a father and daughter, a grandfather and granddaughter and a mother and son. At the conclusion of the


C h ie f E x e c u t iv e , Mr Michael Jackson warned that the application deadline was fast approaching and parish councils should now be thinking of submitting claims.


Ribble Valley Council’s He ad d e d th a t th e


borough council expected th e p a r ish to make a contribution towards the co s t of new facilities, however, before asking for a helping hand.


Councillors were quick to


ask Mr Jackson exactly what improvements qualified for a grant. Chipping Parish Council’s


dilemma was told by Coun. Peter Stott. The council, he said, wanted to provide toilets and changing accom­ modation for visiting teams, but the ratepayers were reluctant to spend money providing facilities for visitors. Coun. Mary Brown (Hurst

Green) sympathised with Chipping Parish Council’s predicament, because the ratepayers’ opposition might be seen as the council not paying its full share towards the cost of any new build­ ings. A suggestion that Chip­


ping Village Hall might solve the problem was discounted, as the hall is some distance from the field.


Visit from the Bishop


Insight into


* local


planning PARISH councillors in Hurst Green should know a little more about future planning decisions in their village after the end of May.


For the parish council has


been asked by the Lanca­ shire Association of Local Councils to allow a univer­ sity lecturer to give them five talks on all aspects of local planning.


Prof. Geoffrey Woodcock,


of Liverpool University, is to visit the village — start­ ing on April 26th — to shed some light on why certain planning decisions are made.


Coun. Mrs Mary Brown


explained: “We were asked as a small village to take part in the project. Hope­ fully the month-long course will help us understand future planning develop­ ments.”


The lectures, to be shared


w i th th e v i l la g e WI members, will be given after consultation with the Ribble Valley Council’s Chief Architect and Planning Officer Mr Charles Wilson.


Other villages in the


scheme are Warton and Preesall, near Blackpool.
