Council ‘back- to square one ’


HEAVEN forbid that we should be subjected to fu r th e r diatribes from Mr Moon. Surely he must now be satis­ fied, having worked so hard to' ensure the r e tu rn o f so many Independents to the Ribble Valley Council. The value of this is doubtful, as achieve­ ment usually comes from united effort. We now seem to be back


to square one when the original friction between Clitneroe and the rest of th e R ib b le V a l le y threatened to disunite the council — the very title of the new authority was made an issue. Now we shall see who


can null or push the harder — the Clitheroe Chamber of Trade or the “parochial” representatives. If Mr Moon had himself


been involved instead of being a vociferous and mis­ informed outside critic, he would question the rele­ vance of a body of Inde­ pendents. What in fact do they rep­


resent? To a large extent, it would seem , it is “ parochialism” and “sec­ tional interests,” the new Mayor being especially


excepted. My prediction is that in

PRELIMINARY NOTICE AUTUMN FAIR


10th NOVEMBER, 1979


le t te r s to th e e d ito r


not just a question of a few play areas and a few car parks. There is a strategy of


development in industry, housing, the environment and leisure which was being developed by a con­ trolling party which had the interests of the whole of the Ribble Valley at heart. The scurrilous campaign


and misleading “ comic- cuts” propaganda tem­ porarily obstructed that progress. May the Conservative


Party, still fortunately in control, have the vision and determination to carry out the policies and princi­ ples of those people who nave been removed from the Council chamber — people who, despite their local affiliations, took pride in their service to Clitheroe, looking upon it as their own small capital, sometimes to the detri­ ment of their own electo­ rate. I cannot help but recall


the remark of Henry IV, if you will forgive the pun — “To me, it were an easy leap to pluck bright honour from the pole-faced moon.”


NON SIBI SED POSTERIS


Encourage advance swimmers


HAVING read in a recent edition of the poor response to summer adult classes, I cannot help but think that the apathy of the general public is closely matched by that of the authorities in c on n e c t ion with swimming instruction in


Clitheroe.


Generous help for Scouts


ON behalf of the Clitheroe and District Scout Execu­ tive, I must say a sincere thank you to the Ribbje Valley Council for a £75 g ran t t ow a r d s the expenses of two Scouts and one leader attending the World Jamboree in New Mexico.


The generosity of the


council is very much appreciated because, as no doubt people are aware, due to the international oil situation there has already been an initial surcharge on the cost of sending rep­ resentatives to the Jam­ boree, which is now £420 per person.


We are, as a movement,


most grateful to local authorities and the public who are always so gener­ ous in helping us from time to time. It really makes the voluntary work done by so many people, either as leaders or lay people, worthwhile when one real­ ises how much it is appreciated.


The Mayor and council


have always been most helpful to the movement in Clitheroe and have always publicly supported it when the need has arisen. We are most grateful to them.


JOHN N. CLAYTON, Flixton, Shays Drive, Clitheroe.


Decked with


flowers A ROOM decorated with flowers greeted guests when Standfast WI played host to Hashall Eaves, Mil­ ton and Dunsop Bridge members. More than 100 people


attended the group meet­ ing in Calderstones bal­ lroom. Mrs Kathleen Hope and Miss Hanson pre­ sented buttonholes to the officials. Mrs Ainscough gave a


talk on the Asian way of life and a group of young people gave a display of Hindu dancing, depicting pleasure and Rowing crops. Votes of thanks were


given by Mrs Fox, Mrs Marjorie Pinder and Mrs Simpson. Competition winners


were Mrs Mary Dowle and Mrs Sheila Mason. Mrs Pinder invited


members to next year’s group meeting at Dunsop Bridge.

EDMONDSON — CAPSTICK Clitheroe fitter Mr


Brian Edmondson was married to Miss Jacqueline Joy Capstiek at St Cuth- bert’s Church, Burnley, on Saturday.


The bridegroom is the


second son of Mr and Mrs W. Edmondson, of Chat­ burn Road, Clitheroe, and the bride, a hairdresser, is the elder daughter of Mr and Mrs G. Capstick, of Ebor Street, Burnley.


The bride, given away


by her father, wore a nylon organza gown with a long train and trimming of gui­ pure lace. Her full-length veil was held in place by a white flowered, headdress with seed pearls and she carried a bouquet of peach roses, orchids and white miniature carnations. Bridesmaids were Miss.


Julie Capstick, the bride’s sister, and Miss Elaine and Miss Audrey Edmondson, the bridegroom’s sisters. They wore long apricot


-jersey dresses with cniffon petal capes and headdres­ ses of white petals with


peach flowers and seed pearls. They carried bou­ quets of peach roses and white carnations. The small attendant,


Miss Kirsten Wilkinson, wore an anricot and lemon flowered (tress and carried a posy of peach roses, and lemon and white carna­ tions. Page hoy was Ste­ ven Wilkinson. Best man was Mr Mel-


vyn Edmondson, the bridegroom's brother, and ushers were Mr Glen Poole, the bride’s cousin, and Mr John Davies, the bridegroom’s cousin. Groomsmen were Mr


Ian Edmondson, the bridegroom’s brother, and Mr fan Capstick, the bride’s brother. Following the ceremony,


performed by the Rev. B. Robinson, a reception was held at the Black Bull Hotel, Rimington. The couple are honey­


mooning in Gibraltar. They will live in Windsor Avenue, Clitheroe. Photograph: P y e ’ s,


Glitheroe. With the facility of a fine


modern pool it is surpris ing to find that there is no further course of instruc­ tion available to a person who has mastered the most com m only-taught basic swimming stroke. While most comparable


pools run courses leading to the award of certificates for proficiency in li fe ­ saving and personal survi­ val, in Clitheroe there appears to be no opportun ity for further progress or advancement. Might I suggest that this


healthy and useful form of exercise is in danger of becoming neglected locally and deserves to be encour­ aged even at the expense of the minority-appeal courses which have pro­ duced such a p o o r response.


K. 0. SCAROILL, Croasdale Drive, Clitheroe


• In reply, Mr Norman Turner, deputy chief tech­ nical officer for the Ribble Valley Council states: “There are already


number of courses run at the pool for swimmers of differing abilities, and these have all been well supported. "They operate at various


times of the year and include instruction for sui \i v a 1 , d i v i n g and improvers. In the school holidays mere are also courses for children. "In September a new


course will start to cater for swimmers who want to concentrate on specialist awards."


UNDETERRED by the inclement weather, these children and sev­ eral adults took part in a sponsored walk to raise money for Wad­ dington village sports. The walk, which


started at Waddington and West Bradford School, covered five miles. An observation test


was set en route. Win­ ners were: Over eight years — Michelle Aspin, Joanne Waddington, Lisa Coar. Under eight — Lisa Hoyle, Alison Grooby, Ben Wilson, Claire Edlington.


Dedication service


EIGHTY members of Methodist churches in the Clitheroe circuit attended a service of dedication of lhe Easter offerings for women’s work overseas. Mrs E. Cowperthwaite


conducted the service, which was held at Wad­ dington Methodist Church. Mrs H. Jones was the speaker, Mrs P. Vickers received and dedicated the offerings, Mrs C. Rushion and Miss W. Rushton took up the collection and Mrs M. Speaknian was the organist. Refreshments were


served in the schoolroom and Mrs M. Knowles thanked members of -the church for their hospi­


tality. For NSPCC


MORE than £400 was raised at a bring and buy .-.ale in aid of the. NSPCC. The event, organised by


the Clitheroe branch, was held at High View-, Old Road, Chatburn, the home of Mr and Mrs J. Sharpies. The raffle for a set of lug­ gage was won by Miss Ellerav.


Read estate land earmarked for caravan park


BRIDGE Hey Wood — a nine acre wooded section of the Read Hall estate — could become an exclusive caravan park.


The land was bought by


Mr Jos Alcock, general manager of a Rishton gar­ age during a sale by auc­ tion at Clitheroe of the remaining 114 acres of the


estate. Mr Alcock eventually


intends to seek planning permission for a site for static vans. The land has direct


access from the highway to the south of Whalley Road, Read, and adjoiiis some existing residential (level opment, the former rail- wav line and the Bridge

Hey Wood Caravan Park. Mr Alcoc'k also bought a


further 50 acres of grass­ land for £73,000, which he intends to stock with sheep for the time being. Old Park, the remaining


section comprising 55 acres including woodland, real­ ised £69,500, bought by W. C. and J. Thwaite, of Whalley. A major portion of the


Read estate including houses and a farm was sold to a local resident earlier this year and last year the half and gardens were bought by a Lancashire businessman. Auctioneer Mr Andrew


Miller, of Miller and Mil­ ler, Burnley, reported a good attendance of far­ mers at the sale, possibly due to the fact there had not been a lot of owner- occupied land for sale. The vendors — Read Hall Golf
