■IT was ill luck all the way for Clitheroe’s Norman Burgess. and his driver Bryan Har­ greaves of Burnley, when they competed in their first Isle of Man TT. Mechanical failures ended


their hopes in both the sidecar events they entered. In the opening race, they were lying ninth when their engine blew up. Two .days later, a flat battery on the last lap put them out of the running. When Norman returned

to Clitheroe, however, he was far from downhearted and spoke about the thrill of speeding round the island course. “It was totally different from anywhere else I’ve


raced,” he said. “The circuit is tortuous and it brings out all the skills of


the riders.” Norman’s week began


brightly when he and Bryan won two sidecar races in a


warm up for the TT. The pair are still desper­

ported it well. At a parish council meet­


ing, Coun. Brian Keating said that there had been a succession of misunder­ standings 'and the council had been reponsible for


some of them. “The club’s frustration is


understandable because the members have done won­ ders with poor facilities. Since we are in charge of the recreation ground, we must accept responsibility for its bad shape.” The recreation ground


facilities were due to be dis­ cussed last week at a meet­ ing of the village’s recrea­ tion advisory committee, but football club representatives did not attend, owing to a mix-up over dates. A further meeting of the


committee has been called for Monday night. Wadding­ ton won all three trophy competitions which they entered last season.

BY-LAW WILL AID MOTOR-CYCLISTS


SABDEN Parish Council has taken action in the wake of criticism from villagers that some young motor-cyclists are causing a nuisance.


The council is seeking a allowing them to ride on his


bylaw which will allow motor-cyclists to wheel their machines along the village bridle paths.

land off Whalley Road. The decision was made


after members heard advice from two senior Burnley police officers, who were asked to attend the council meeting to clarify the law regarding the riding of bikes. The meeting was also


attended by a number-of the young riders and th e ir parents. Afterwards, the chair­


man', Coun. Miss Alice AMon, said she hoped the bylaw would solve the vil­ lage’s problems. “The motor-cyclists will


be able to wheel th e ir machines up to Cobden Farm provided they have insurance," she said. “Hopefully by letting


them know we are con­ cerned about this problem and that we want to help them as well, we can come to an agreement that suits everyone.” Miss Alston will now raise


the matter at next month’s meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s Public Works and Health Committee.

on as best they can. Their next big dates are


July 1st and 2nd, when they compete in the “Cock of the North” international meet­ ing at Scarborough.


Guide dog to be a guest


MISS Jennie Lee, of Ful- wood, Preston, and her guide dog Wallace will join Clitheroe and District Tre­ foil Guild at the home of Mr and Mrs Ralph Bailey, of Claremont Avenue tonight at a coffee evening in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind and Trefoil funds. When Jennie and Wallace'


met the Trefoil members two years ago, £100 was raised for the fund. It is hoped to raise £150 tonight and to choose a name for a guide dog. Jennie has since visited


her brother in Australia — without Wallace because of quarantine laws. Reunited, Wallace each day takes Jen­ nie to her work as a switch­ board operator. Jennie is looking forward


to meeting her many friends in Clitheroe again and perhaps to making new ones, too.
