successful “ trial” last year, again1 attracted the maximum number of en­ trants and for some of the youngsters it was their second time on the course. The youngsters, aged

-Search for oil is on again


FIFTY men arrived in the Ribble Valley on Monday hoping to strike oil.


They will be carrying


out a geological survey of the Clitheroe-Sabden area for the next three to five months.


The search follows a


similar one to that in the area last year, and is all part of a major Northern survey being canned out by the Geophysical Com­ pany (UK).


The 22 vehicles in­


volved are loaded with equipment which sends seismic waves through rocks a mile below. These are in te rp r e te d b y geophysical experts on the lookout for the special conditions and rock faults which can trap oil.


Their findings are


passed on to petroleum experts, who will then decide whether it would be worthwhile dialling or


not. The survey crew in­


clude 30 temporary work­ ers mainly from the Blackburn area and they will be distributing more than 2,000 leaflets to exp­ lain what is going on.

ONE thing seems to be leading to another at Holden Clough Nursery, Bolton-by-Bowland. After receiving an im­


p o r ta n t o rd e r from Moscow recently, nursery owner Mr Peter Foley (36) and his wife, Anne, have come out tops at the Leeds Show, which they entered for the first time. They were presented


with a gold medal and a cup for having the best rock garden display. Peter, who moved to


both sides of West View, leaving a carriageway of one car’s width and creat­ ing dozens of blind spots for drivers. “ I t ’ s the same on


Wilson Street and Woone Lane,” he said, though he appreciated that it was only natural for people to want to leave their cars as near to home as poss­ ible.

lighted with our layout, and this comes just after the Moscow order.” This order, worth about


£80, is for climbing and rock plants for educational establishments near Riga, the capital o f Soviet Latvia. It is probable the Rus­


sians read about the nursery in the journal of the Royal Horticultural Society. Mr Foley is building a


reputation for unusual plants and last year sent off an order worth £1,500 to Japan.


THE Vale House site bordering Whalley’s bus turning circle would be the ideal spot for a much-needed area of landscaped open space, villagers were told at a public meeting on


Monday.


Chris’s play goes on the air


A COMEDY by Clitheroe playwright Chris Curry will be on the air a week today.


“But Robert, nobody


dies for love any more” is the fifth play Chris (37), of Railway View, has had broadcast. It will be on Radio 4 at 3 p.m. next Thursday.


It is about a local boy


who is a hopeless roman­ tic and leading the parts will be Helen Worth (who plays Gail Tilsley in Coro­ nation Street) and Alan R othw ell' (a fo rme r member of the “Street” cast).


Chris has been writing


for five years and has so far sold seven plays. She has just finished


her first TV play which is due to be screened by the BBC early next year and a theatre play is to be performed in Soho Poly­ te ch n ic , London, in November. Chris says she has


great support in her writ­ ing from her children, James (12), a pupil at Rib- blesdale School, and Jessi­ ca (10), who attends Pendle Junior School.

was prepared to consider only the sale of the whole site, of which the prop­ osed landscaped area forms a part. And it had also said that the bus right of way at Vale House must be retained. The council was given a


mandate to continue negotiations for the site, but will make a full report to the public before finalising any details. At the meeting the site


was described by one resi­ dent as being in an “ap­ palling state”, with seats vandalised. Miss Wilkinson sug­


gested that its conversion and use by the general public could cut down on vandalism.
