sense providing money from which our rates are paid,” said Mr Cowgill.


Some d o u b ts w e re


expressed about the choice of the Mitton House site behind Church Street for the new offices, particularly as a steady stream of cars would be travelling to and from the new town hall con­ stantly passing the Health Centre front on Railway View Avenue where there was no footpath. Mr Roy Dewhurst, of


Kaydee, wondered whether the boys’ grammar school could not be used as a town hall if it was vacated after education reorganisation. “It would be an ideal spot,” he said.


At the close of the meet­


ing it was agreed to write to the Ribble Valley Council expressing “disquiet” at its general handling of the town hall discussions, and criticis­ ing the non-use of the Town Centre Advisory Com­ mittee.


Meanwhile the executive


committee was recom­ mended to investigate emp­ loying counsel to formulate planning objections. Terminating the meeting,


Mr Field said it was “a great pity” that more members of the Chamber had not turned

Students at works


STUDENTS on the pottery course at Whalley Adult Education Centre visited Holding Brothers’ pottery works at Oswaldtwistle Moors. They were given a tour of the works by Mr Geoffrey Holding, whose great grandfather estab­ lished the firm. He explained that the clay


was dug up, washed, sieved and then dried for use in making plant containers, mugs and many other items. Mr Robert Tregartha, an expert “thrower,” who has been with the firm 30 years, gave a demonstration of his skills in shaping a number of pots on the wheel. The panoramic views from


the site added to an evening which the group agreed had been very enjoyable.

lives in Surrey, but her mother, Mrs Amy Barber, has forwarded the letter. Said Mrs Barber: “Renate

done a remarkable job. I have thanked everybody at Clitheroe and Blackburn for their efforts:” A spokesman for the Post


Office said they always made every effort to deliver a letter, no matter how it was addressed. “In this case we used a bit


of local knowledge and the electoral register,” said a spokesman.


Money box brings £390


AN antique sale at Pendle­ ton on the instructions of Miss D. M. Worsley-Taylor attracted buyers from a wide area.

A PARTY who stayed at the Swan Hotel, Whalley, at the weekend had travelled the world. But they told their hosts, Mr and Mrs Bamber, that the Ribble Valley is one place they will never forget. Their stay had been made “fantastic” by the general friendliness, wonderful scenery, and the way they had been looked after.


The party of nine were

Sunday morning ban


THREE Clitheroe clubs have been'ordered to go “dry” on Sunday mornings and end a 60-year tradition of serving drinks between 10 a.m. and noon. The Social Club, Wellgate


and the Royal British Leg­ ion and Central Working Men’s clubs, Whalley Road, were told by the police to comply with normal licens­ ing hours of noon until 2 p.m. Insp. Bill Moore said


Clitheroe Police were told “unofficially” of the early opening and immediately informed the club sec­ retaries to comply with the law. “How this practise has gone on for so long without something being done we just don’t know,” he said. A spokesman for the Leg­


ion Club said it was under­ stood that special dispensa­ tion had been granted for early opening in the 1920s to cater for labourers building Stocks Reservoir. “It was assumed that the


special dispensation was still in force even though opening on Sunday morning is against licensing laws,” the spokesman added.

Clitheroe Mart

POTTERY making is the “in” craft it would seem — with as many as five classes a week being arranged by Whalley Adult Centre in the day-time and evenings. Now, especially for people


who find it inconvenient to attend these particular clas­ ses, the centre is to put on a weekend pottery course for the first time. Experience is not needed


and keen beginners as well as the more experienced are welcome to attend on two Saturdays, July 1st and 8th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Thursday evening, July 13th, from 7-30 to 9-30 p.m. Those who would like to


see their work fired and glazed must enrol by June 27th by writing to the centre or phoning Whalley 2717.


Worshippers picnic


THE family church anniver­ sary was celebrated at Clitheroe United Reformed Church on Sunday with a service having the title of “A festival of praise.” Conducted by the Minis­


ter, the Rev. J. Salsbury, it was divided into three parts: praise for the world of nature, praise for the life of mankind, and praise for Jesus Christ. Items were given by the


of adults and children set out, complete with a picnic lunch and tea, to walk over Grindleton Fell to Newton. The glorious sunshine and


choir and the junior choir, with the adults and children taking part in Bible, prose and poetry readings. After the service a group


the lovely countryside added greatly to the enjoyment of the outing and at Newton the walkers were greeted with a welcome drink at Newton United Reformed Church, which was also celebrating its anniversary. The Clitheroe people stayed for the evening service.

AN 18-year-old Clitheroe mother who stole £23.86 was put on probation for two years by Clitheroe magis­ trates. Defending Gillian Lea
