appalled at the sporadic outbreaks of vandalism in the Castle grounds. This latest incident is to


be raised at the next meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s Recrea­ tion and Leisure Commit­ tee on August 30th. Mr Nock said the coun­

Waddington ‘in-bloom’ winner


VILLAGERS in Wad­ dington were “blooming delighted” this week . . . when again they earned off first prize in a village- in-bloom competition. Only a month after win­


ning the Ribble Valley’s first “Beautiful Britain — Britain in Bloom” compet­ ition, the parish council was informed on Tuesday that the village has won the NW area prize in the “Britain in Bloom” com­ petition run by the Tour­ ist Board. It now goes on to the


national, and possibly in­ ternational European final. It is the first time a Ribble Valley village has


entered the competition. Mr Eric Edmondson,


parish council chairman, said, “We are thrilled . . . now we are going for a hat-trick with Lancashire Community Council’s Best-Kept Village compet­ ition.” Mr Edmondson, of


Queensway, Waddington, said that villagers, village organisations and lengths- man Mr Bert Ishenvood, of Beechthorpe .Avenue, had worked very hard for the success. “ Even th e Ribble


Valley refuse collectors have been helpful,” he said.


History talk by Rector


THE history of SS Peter and P a u l ’s C hurch, Bolton-by-Bowland, which dates back to medieval times, was the subject of a talk by the Rector, Fr Trevor Vaughan, and PCC secretary Mrs Jenny Wilkinson, to members of the Yorkshire Archaeolog­ ical Society. It formed part of a visit


to the church by nearly 40 members of the society last Thursday evening.


Fire in cellar


TWO appliances from Clitheroe quickly exting­ uished a fire in the cellar of the Horseshoe Inn, Bawdlands, Clitheroe, in the early hours of Tues­ day. There was slight damage to electric wiring.
