Trevor takes a back seat
AFTER 21 years as chairman of Clitheroe and District Motor Club, Trevor Roberts has de cided to take a “brake” and let somebody else sit in the driving seat.
. Trevor was elected
chairman in the club’s first year, 1962, and since then, at every annual meeting, the show of hands wishing him to con tinue has clearly shown his popularity. S a le s d ir e c to r of
C l ith e ro e ’ s Primrose Garage, Trevor, of Brook Villas, West Bradford, is well-known throughout the area for his exploits in bygone days behind the wheel of a Mini Cooper
‘S’ . Over the years — he
only stopped rallying two years ago — he has pro duced some memorable results. “The most satisfying,”
said Trevor, “came about seven years ago when I won the Bolton Midnight rally and came second in the R.L. Brown consecu tively, both highly com petitive events which have since become Motor ing N ew s n at ion a l rounds.” Away from the noise
SHOWING their richly-deserved certificates arc Becky (left) and Caroline, with her mum!
Advent
lunches FOUR Advent lunches on the theme “Getting ready for Christmas” are being organised by the Ribble Valley Church Council.
The lunches, being held
each T u e sd a y from November 29th, start at 12-30 p.m. in Clitheroe United Reformed Church. They will take the form of a service, a short talk and a snack lunch.
On November 29th, the
speaker will be Envoy Jack Tagg, of the Salva tion Army, on getting ready for Christmas in the community; on De cember 6th, Fr Joseph Wareing, of SS Michael and'John’s 'RC Church (in the church); December 1 3 th , the R e v . Jim N e ed h am , C l ith e ro e M e th o d is t C ir cu it Superintendent (in our homes) and December 20th, the Rev. David Woodhouse, Rector of St James’s (in our hearts).

Church minister the Rev. John Salsbury will con duct each service.
and excitement of motor sport, Trevor enjoys the relatively tranquil hobby of sailing, and has a 24- foot long vessel on Lake Windermere, an ideal place for a relaxing weekend. A m em b e r o f the
Rotary Club of Clitheroe and a former member of Clitheroe Round Table, Trevor says he has no in tention of letting up in his enthusiasm for the sport.
He will still play an
active role in the club’s future by remaining as vice-chairman and com mittee member. Replacing him as chairman is Clitheroe estate agent Bill Honeywell.
Bill (31), of Ennerdale Close, has been a member
■ of the club for about 15 years. Of Trevor’s efforts, he said: “His enthusiasm over the last 21 years has been outstanding and all the hard work he has put into the running of the club is very much appreci ated by all members.
Trevor Roberts Old style
haymaking FARM ER’S son Peter Knowles plans to make hay the vintage way next summer. The 36-year-old tanker
driver from Salthill Road has bought some old- world equipment to turn his six acres of land bet ween Ba rrow and Clitheroe into hay for “Prince,” his daughter Julie’s pony. It will bring back
m em o r ie s for Mr Knowles, who explained: “I was born on a farm and used that type of machin ery as a kid.” He noticed it lying idle
while making a delivery to a farm at Rathmell, near Settle, and promptly bought it. He reckons the equip
ment, comprising an old trailer mower, swath turner, side delivery and strawing machine, is about 40 years old. Members of the Ribble
Valley Vintage Club, which Mr Knowles has just joined, are to record a video of the do-it-your self haymaking-with-a-dif- ference. In the meantime, he
plans to re-paint the machinery to have it look ing like new.
Sporting links
RIBBLE Valley Mayor, Conn. Ted Boden will maintain his iinks with sportmen and women
throughout the district when he holds a second reception for representatives of local sporting bodies on Monday in the Mayor’s Parlour.
‘ Gaol ’ and ‘ paper ’ puzzle
“PUT not your faith in princes” runs the old adage and experi ence has, on occasion, confirmed the truth of the maxim. Equally, it is unwise to
put complete trust in some books of reference, as I found on consulting a book recently acquired. Published in 1896 by

disappeared altogether and many railway lines clearly indicated no longer exist. None-the-less, although
with a few years to pass before it becomes a genuine antique, the old book does have consider able interest for the histo rian and antiquarian, but I quarrel with the compil ers when it comes to the information in the ap pendix. Checking up on our ad-’
ministrative centre, I read: “Clitheroe, remark able for cotton, school, gaol, lime and paper” .
'&■ '&■ '&■ V - £ £ .
The census figures, etc. I can accept; it is the refer ences to “ gaol” and “ paper” that have me puzzled.
I reckon I know my
native town as well as most folk and have read every available book on its history and activities, past and present, but no where do I recall any mention of a gaol or a paper-making industry.
It is possible, of course,
that I am not as well in formed as I ought to be, but on inquiries from a number of knowledgeable people I find them equally puzzled. So if any reader can
shed a glimmer of light on the matter I would be grateful. Far too late now to do anything about the misprint — if misprint it be — but I toould like to know. Moving to another topic
— “What are those little blue signs with bicycles on them all about?” a local lady inquired the other day. “There’s one at the end of Brookes Lane, pointing to Mitton Road and another at Elker Lane. So many people have asked me.” I had to confess com
plete ignorance on the subject but “I’ll find out,” I assured the lady and emphasised that the signs did not mean that cyclists could ride on the pave ment as someone had sug gested. Immediately I reached
home I gave my famous impersonation of Action

Man and contacted the police and, within mo ments, the minor mystery was solved: These not unattractive
or too obtrusive signs in dicate picturesque routes which tourists who prefer to travel by pedal power •might appreciate; routes which will take them into the very heart of our c o u n tr y s id e • and, whenever possible, help them to avoid the danger ous and overcrowded main roads. , An excellent and wel
come idea — as somebody (was it Max Bygraves?) used to say in the days when steam' radio was pa ramount — “A good idea, son”.
