good start


CLITHEROE A chess team made an excellent start to their N.E. Lancs 1st Division campaign by beating Accrington A by 3’/a boards to 2Vi.


Fielding an under-,


strength team, Clitheroe found themselves in even more trouble when the second reserves player was unable to reach Ac­ crington in time and the home side started the match leading 1-0.


H ow ev e r Bernard


Brown, John Trappes- Lomax and Steven Robin­ son all had good victories, while Brian Carr fell to a rare defeat.

THERE was an excellent attendance at harvest thanksgiving services held at St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, on Sunday. Almost 400 attended


family Communion in the morning, which was con­ ducted by the Rev. Brian Stevenson, assisted by Licensed Reader Mrs Kate Wallwork. The junior choir, sang


“Thank you” and during the service harvest gifts were received, which have since been distri­ buted to Castleford and Clitheroe Hospital. In the late afternoon


the vicar conducted a har­ vest thanksgiving service at St Ann’s Court, in the village. At Festal Evensong,


which was very well at­ tended, guest preacher was Canon Edward Wynne, former Vicar of St Gabriel’s, Blackburn. The service was con­


ducted by the vicar, as­ sisted by Licensed Read­ ers Mr Ken Guy and Mrs Wallwork. The choir sang the Vesper “Sweet is the work.” Organist for the day was Mr Robert Tattersall.


Improved viewing


THE new local television relay station serving 430 people in the northern part of Chatbum seems to be proving a success. After visiting Chatburn
