M/Y JADRAN This year we are operating a new type of holiday,


cruising aboard a private Motor Yacht. As far as we know this has not been done before, the normal


• practice being for one person to “charter" the yacht. This has always had the effect of only allowing a select few to participate in this type of holiday. By putting together a "package,” we are now able to offer a much larger section of the public the chance to experience this unique form of cruising.


You can now enjoy a two week cruise aboard the


Motor Yacht Jadran, sailing from Malta to some of the lesser known Islands. The itinerary will not be fixed, leaving guests the chance to decide where to go and how long to linger there. Places like Syra- cusa in Sicily with its bustling markets, contrasting with the tranquility of its Roman Ruins. The savage beauty of active volcanoes such as Etna and Strom- boli. Discover the peaceful Aeolian ■ Islands, the choice is yours. Life can be as hectic or as lazy as you wish.


Accommodation is for a maximum of 10 guests so


personal attention is assured. Most water sports are catered for, and “Jadrans” friendly crew are always on hand to give instruction to any guests wishing to try out a new sport. Our speciality is Sub-Aqua


Diving. This, and- all other facilities on board are free. The price of a two weeks cruise is £495 per


person. This includes return Air-Fare, Manchester- Malta, transfers to and from yacht, and all meals.


Tobacco and drinks on board will be at duty-free prices. For additional information and bookings contact:

Five pint-sized pups for Lucy


MOTHERING Sunday brought five bundles of, fun to the Sun Inn, Wad- dington . . . when the landlord and landlady’s seven-year-old Jack Rus­ sell terrier Lucy decided to have her pups in the middle "of the busy lun­ chtime rush. And the funny thing is


that the proud father is “alleged” to be eight-year- old George, the large black labrador from the Higher Buck Inn, further


up the road. George is lying “doggo”


at the moment, ' but

Fourth place

Lancashire in the final which was watched by more than 200 people at the Legion’s Irlam and Cadishead headquarters near Manchester.


Higher Buck landlady Mrs Trish Hargreaves told us that the relationship had ' been “legalised”. “The dogs were seen by some of our regulars at the vil­ lage Methodist Chapel,” she said. Landlady at the Sun


Inn Mrs Christine Cox de­ scribed how. her 11-year- old daughter Amanda found Lucy with the first puppy at one o’clock. “We were frantically


busy, and so set up relays with waitresses and other staff looking after Lucy in turn until the last pup arrived at 4-30 p.m.” The pups, four bitches


and a dog, are all spoken for already. Mrs Cox, who runs the inn with her hus­ band, Stephen, said that regulars were so fond of Lucy that all pups had been claimed long before they were born. “Lucy comes into the


bar, and is such a charac­ ter that the regulars have always made a . special fuss of her,” said Mrs Cox.


Clitheroe Mart

Supper dance


ST AUGUSTINE’S RC School Hall, Billington, was packed almost to capacity, on Friday, when 320 parents and staff at­ tended a supper dance for school funds. The event organised by


the School Association, fe­ atured “pop” and disco music of the past three decades. Entertainment included


a raffle arid tombola, with prizes ranging from a meal for two at an hotel, to a selection of fruit. . The disco of “golden


oldies” was presented by Peter Gunn, of Burnley. The school’s kitchen superviseiy Mrs Betty Hay ton, helped organise supper. St Augustine’s teacher


.Mr Chris Riding, one of the supper-dance organis­ ers, said it was not yet known how much the event had raised, but. added: “We were pleased that so many people turned up.”


Garden party


THE Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s annual allocation of six tickets to a Royal garden party in July will be taken up by the new


-Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs Ted


*Boden, of Chatbum, the borough Planning and Technical Officer' Mr Philip Bailey and his wife, and Coun. John Walmsley (Osbaldeston) and his


wife. - No insurance


FOR driving a car with­ out insurance, Anthony David Haworth (45), of Riverside, Low Moor,


• was fined £50, with £5 costs, at Clitheroe; ■ His sister-in-law, Lilian


Haworth (37), of Portfield Farm ■ Cottage, Whalley, was also fined £50, with £5 costs,. for permitting the offence. :


, ■ Mrs Hargreaves, who


describes herself as “the other proud grandmother” is sure that when her six- year-old daughter Katie sees the pups she will set her heart on one, so George may well find him­ self landed with parental responsibilities... As always with these


doggy “tails” there is a touch of mystery. “ Some regulars are


pointing the finger at another dog in the village as the father,” says Mrs Cox. “But we - are all fairly sure it is George.”


Wrong sort of weather


TH E R ib b le V a l le y weather was of no help at the weekend for some of the country’s top pilots who were in the locality for the British Hang Glid­ ing Association’s first league meeting of the 1983 season. Changing winds made


things unsuitable for cross-country sliding. So the 45 pilots, among them Bob Calvert, of Black­ burn, the UK 112-mile record holder, had to con­ centrate on speed runs from Parlick Pike. The meeting was held


on Saturday, Sunday and Monday with all the pilots assembling in Clitheroe


before deciding whether to take off from Pendle or Parlick.


Keen boys


LOCAL schoolboys were keener than girls to


obtain part-time jobs at Booth’s new supermarket, Clitheroe. Mrs Janie Mitchell,


head of Clitheroe Job- Centre, where interviews were held for 84 full and part-time vacancies, said: “A group of boys arrived every evening after school — about 50 in all — but there were only half a dozen girls all week.” . About 80 middle-aged


men also applied for part- time work and supermar­ ket manager Mr Raymond Otterson has chosen four or five. “Many of the men were


redundant,” said Mrs Mitchell.


Car’s wing ‘dangerous’


A BARROW woman was fined £25 at Clitheroe for using a car with a danger­ ous wing. Dorothy'Bowen (44), of Park Farm, said it was her first offence in 23 years’ driving. She was ordered to pay £5 costs. The courf was told there was a 3'/2in. hole in the wing.


Fined £40


A COLLISION between- two cars at the junction of Pimlico Road and' Moor­ land Road, ■ Clitheroe, led to Joan Robertshaw (36), of Pasturelands Drive,


'Billington, being fined' £40, with £5 : costs, at Clitheroe. " She' pleaded guilty.


/ ■ ; No insurance


FOR using a car without insurance Michael Joseph


• Clancy (42), of Tower Hill, Clitheroe, was fined £60, iwith £5 costs at Clitheroe.' 'Mr Geoffrey Isherwood, defending, ■ said Clancy was driving a


friend’s car and believed the insurance covered


■ him.

A SPRING dance at the Moorcock Inn, Wadding- ton, proved a big success for the ladies’ social sec­ tion of the Clitheroe branch of the NFU.


Music was provided by


the “Fly by Night” disco. Centrepiece of the


buffet table was a stuffed pig’s head. The section’s next event


will be an open night at Newton Village Hall, in April, at which Granada television reporter Bob Smithies will be special guest.


Brookside schoolr for assault ‘ badly needed’/


n ib b le V a l le y go v e rn o rs m e t^ L an c a sn n e County councillors and officials at Salesbury, to


consider proposed primary school closures.-. At a previous meeting


-------------------—


of governors at Chatburn, one suggested that the six


schools could be saved it the slightly over half-full Brookside School were to


close. Coun. Leo Wells, of „„ ,, ,


Clitheroe, said that there would be a terrific strag­ gle to accommodate all the Brookside children


into schools in Clitheroe. “Anyway, the school


was built partly because of plans for future de­ velopment in the Pendle Road area and partly be­ cause other schools were overflowing. “There are still plans


for development there and Brookside will probably be badly needed later on,’ he said.


Governors and church .


officials at the meeting re­ gistered their concern at “the lack of consultation” between the education and diocesan authorities regarding church schools which are suggested for closure. They were given an as­


surance by County Coun. David Keeley, who will head the review of prim­ ary schools in the Ribble Valley, that he will look into this.


Sarah’s a winner


CLITHEROE Grammar School student Sarah White added another string to her musical bow on Saturday when she led a string quartet to a na­ tional title in London. For violinist Sarah (18)


who lived in Clitheroe and then in Chipping before moving recently to Moor- side House, Altham, was in the winning -team for the National Quartet Championship. She played with colleagues from Pre ston and London.


Her prize is’ a master­


class with the Amadeus String Quartet in Birmin gham next month.


No flowers


RIBBLE Vailey Council will not ;.be saying it with


flowers so far as Ribbles- dale School, Clitheroe, is concerned this year. At a Finance and Gen­


eral Purposes Sub-Com­ mittee meeting chief ex­ ecutive Mr Michael Jack- son said there had been a request for a floral display for the school’s open day on March 23rd. This followed the coun­


cil’s provision of a display for the' school’s jubilee last year. Coun. Ted Boden (Chatburn) said: “The


jubilee was a one-off occa­ sion. If we provide flow­ ers just for an open day, there will be no end of requests from other schools/]___________


Garden club


RIBBLE Valley Parks Superintendent Mr Roger Hirst came to the aid of Clitheroe Garden Club on Monday when the in­ tended speaker was unable to keep his en­ gagement. Mr Hirst promised a


pot-pourri of subjects il­ lustrated by slides but the projector broke down and a question and answer session was improvised. This turned out to be


informative on a wide range of topics from, lawn care to seed sowing and bedding plants to mus­ hroom culture.


' . The April speaker, at


Ribblesdale: School on the second Monday in the month, will be Mr Tom Fenton, of Weeton, an au­ thority on. vegetable growing in the north.

Caravan site repairs urgent


WORK costing £5,000 is needed to repair buildings and a road at the Ribble Valley Council’s Edisford Caravan site, - it was re­ ported at a meeting of the Policy and Resources Committee. Members decided to


tackle the matter urgent­ ly, dealing with the finan­ cial side later. Coun. Bill Fleming


(Langho) said that there might be some savings out of the recreation and leisure committee’s expen­ diture programme of £92,400 for the year which could be used.


Coun. Brian Braith-


waite of Clitheroe said that the site road was full of potholes and the wood­ work in the cafe was rotten.

wounding Robert Louis Stevenson with whom his wife was having an affair. Mr Peter Warboys, pro­


secuting, said that Robin­ son, a track driver, ar­ rived home in the early hours of the 'morning and found the two together. He attacked Stevenson


with a pickaxe handle breaking two fingers and causing other injuries. Robinson had shortly


afterwards left .Clitheroe and was unaware the police wanted him. Mr'W. D. Greenwood, defending, said that when Robinson found the two together he behaved as any self-respecting man


would have done. Both men were injured in the fight. Robinson had taken the


pickaxe handle from Stevenson who had antici­ pated that the husband might suddenly return home. Robinson was ordered to pay £45 costs.
