Harry turns ^ down US job offer


FORMER Brockhall FC manager Mr Harry Greaves has turned down the chance of becoming soccer coach at a college oh the west coast of the USA. He made his decision after

a lengthy get-together with his family at their home in Darkwood Crescent, Chat- burn. In the end, personal reasons forced Harry to decline. The terms of the approach


to him have prevented Harry naming the college involved, but the chance of a new life in California must have been hard to resist. “It was a tremendously


difficult decision,” he admit­ ted. “At first I was highly flattered by the offer, which was right out of the blue. But once the family and I got down to some serious thinking, we realised that circumstances were against it.”


Mr Greaves will continue


to work at Rossendale Gen­ eral Hospital as domestic services manager, a position he has held since he moved from Brockhall at the begin­ ning of the year. As for his future in local

THE jubilee rose bed at the centre of a protocol storm was opened by members of Clitheroe’s two Townswomen's Guilds last week. The rose bed by the


Castle gates commemo­ rates the 50th anniver­ sary of the National Union of Townswomen’s Guilds.


Members originally intended to hand over


the bed to the Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs Doris Ainsworth, who is a Guild member. But


Ribble Valley Council officials said it would not be appropriate for


the Clitheroe Mayoress to receive the rose bed, because the grounds are owned by the Ribble Valley Council. Mrs A i n s w o r t h
