fS l ig plsssi Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, March 23rd, 1978 11 Divers to
the rescue A SIX-MAN team from the Ribble Valley Sub-Aqua Club spent a weekend rescu ing canoeists from some of Britain’s most dangerous water. The team were on duty for the British Univer sities’ canoe slalom champ ionships on the River Lune near Sedbergh. They volunteered to act as
a rescue squad and during the two-day championship helped 22 competitors out of the swirling waters. More than 400 canoeists took part. The stretch on which the
championships were held narrows at one point to just three metres. The water rips along at phenomenal speed and large boulders are an added danger. At least five of the £140
c a n o e s w e re to t a l ly destroyed and injuries to competitors included concus sion, cuts and bruises. The Sub-Aqua team
consisted of rescue leader Malcolm L in fo rd and Bernard Donnelly, Dick Greyston, Frank Frost and Christopher Tomlinson. Supervising was club diving officer Mr Frank Thompson. The universities which
organised the championship — Nottingham and Sheffield — were so pleased with the divers’ performance that they donated £80 to club funds.

CLITHEROE Morris Men may be able to perfect their dancing steps in future . . . thanks to two films made in Whalley in 1913 and 1919. F o r th e g ro u p has

CHAMBER LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
MORE and better parking facilities are a must if retail development in Clitheroe is to expand, Mr John Cowgill told members of the Chamber of Trade at their 54th annual meeting.
Mr Cowgill, who was
retiring after two years as president, said it seemed strange that extra land next to the main town car park could suddenly be found for 70 cars for the proposed new Ri bbl e Valley Council offices. “Why hasn’t this land
fellow councillors that the bend was “ a potential k i l le r .” He himself had almost been in a collision. “I would rather have a
mirror put up and have someone alive, than no mirror and someone dead,” he said. Coun. Mrs Sheila Maw,
who represents Whalley on the Ribble Valley Council, said that Mr Charles Wilson, the Chief Architect and Pl anni ng Officer, had dismissed the idea of a mirror. But she promised to raise the matter at an appropriate meeting.

THIRTY-FIVE representa tives of local churches attended a meeting at Whal ley Methodist Church to hear about the work of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. The speaker was the mission’s regional organiser, Mr William T. Jones, of Knowle Green, who showed colour film about fishermen and the important role of the mission at 20 ports in Britain. He emp h a s i s e d the
Christian aspect of the organisation and referred to the recent flooding of the Fylde coast, during which the mission centre at Fleet- wood had cared for the hungry and homeless. Mr Jones was introduced
by the chairman, Whalley Methodist minister the Rev. Graham A. Vickers. There was a bring-and-
buy stall arranged by ladies of Whalley Christian Action Group and refreshments were provided. A total of £33.16 was raised for mission funds.
