Sport, the
easy way! SPORT is not just for the young, and there are many ways people of all ages can be involved in sporting groups without taking part in strenuous activity.
Ribble Valley Sports Council would like to hear from people interested in helping to run sporting groups.
And to this end, the Paul Burgess
vice-chairman and acting secretary of the Sports Council, points to the great need for people to help in various ways, such as administrative work, umpiring and serving on club committees.
Mrs Doreen Euinton,

Anyone in te re s te d
also in need of a secretary and, again, anyone in terested should contact: Mrs Euinton.
