A MEETING with Prince Philip was the highlight of the Pony club games at Holker Hall, Cumbria, fQr 13-year-old S te v en Wright, of Lister’s Farm, Newsholme, near. Gisbum. Steven, a pupil at Bow-


land School, was the cap­ tain of the under-15 team from Pendle Forest and Craven Pony Club, which came eighth out of 12 teams in a close competi­ tion. The Duke of Edinburgh


was there to present prizes and stopped to chat to Steven. He helped Steven to adjust the reins on his pony and asked him how he was enjoying the day, giving him some words of encouragement in the competitions. Steven’s father, Keith,

THE following planning applications have been ap­ proved by the Ribble Valley Council’s Develop­ ment Sub-Committee under delegated powers. Clitheroe: Porch and


garage extension at 44 Langshaw Drive. New shop front and internal re­ furbishment at 20 King Street. First-floor exten­ sion to form two addition­ al bedrooms at 1 Pagefield Crescent. Slaidbum: Installation


of bathroom at 18, Church Street. Chipping: Construction


of new garage and porch at Ashley Cottage, Folly Lane. Chaigley: Extension to

“The buck stops here,”


Housing Officer Mr Richard Isherwood said that the “enormous” length of wall abutted fields and the main road and was bellying for 100 yards. “For public safety we


must repair the dangerous parts,” he said. Mr Isherwood added


that a contractor who owned an adjoining field has offered to tip clay against the wall and grass it over free of charge and it was decided to find out more about this. “Otherwise the ratepay­


ers might face a bill of over £300,000 in repairs,” he said. It was also decided to write a letter of complaint


’to the Church Commis­ sioners about a loophole in the law, which enables them to pass liability for “closed” graveyards to the parish councils and even­ tually the borough. Another letter, pointing


out the huge cost of re­ pairs which could be in­ volved, will be sent to Blackburn Diocesan offi­ cials. This will also re­ quest a faculty from the liocese to carry out repair work, which might in­ volve the moving of some human remains.


FOR nearly half a century Thomas Herd has been a dedicated supporter of Waddington Football Club. Now his faithfulness to


the club he loves has been rewarded with the pre­ sentation of a tankard which is taking pride of place in his home in Spring Gardens, Wad­ dington. The gift, from the Craven and district Foot­ ball Association, was a complete surprise to Thomas and seven other people who received trophies at the group’s annual m e e t in g in Skipton.


Together, the eight


men have given morfe than 400 years’ service either as players, club of­ ficials or adminstrators to amateur football in the Craven area. Thomas (75), affection­


ately known as “Spoff”, was born and bred in Waddington. He has served his village team for 47 years in various capacities, including player, coach, trainer and groundsman, and is still on the committee. Whatever the fortunes


of the club, he has always remained a sterling sup­ porter . and still watches the team play both home


and away games. Thomas retired 11


years ago after being a process worker at ICI for 22 years. Before doing war ser­


vice — he was in the West Yorkshire Regiment and later a Lance Corpor­ al in the Military Police — he worked for Bowland Rural District Council. In addition to his love


of the football club, he likes to spend his spare time gardening and fash­ ioning shepherd’s crooks. He and his wife, Dora,

Letters to the Editor


Praise for council help but priorities


misplaced I WRITE with regard to the article that appeared , in last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times on the subject of the new proposed stand at Shaw- bridge Football Ground and my comments on the sporting facilities in the Ribble Valley in general.


The impression given


was that I was “knocking” the Ribble V a lley Borough Council and its officers. This is not the case. We understand that their hands are tied to a certain extent as to the amount of money they can allocate for local recrea­ tion schemes. I just feel that in some instances their priorities are mis­ placed.


Speaking for and on


behalf of Clitheroe Foot­ ball Club the help and advice we have received over the past five years from the Ribble Valley Borough Council has been most appreciated and no one could have been more helpful and supportive than the former Mayor, Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg.

Plea for elderly


tenants VISITING Clitheroe re­ cently, I had occasion to walk past the old people’s bungalows in Castle View. I was disgusted to see


some gardens overgrown with deep grass, and sev-. eral garden gates broken off.


Enquiring from the old iople, some having reached the age of 80


years and over, I was in­ formed by them that after numerous requests to the Housing Department of the Ribble Valley Council, they had been told it was their responsibility to keep grass cut and garden gates in repair. Surely the Housing


Committee has more thought for its elderly tenants.

From the report in your

that the locals take the countryside for granted but I do not believe this is true. People live in Clitheroe because of its pleasant surroundings, not because of low rates or high industry. I am also sure that our

The council would be advised to consider if, in this instance, it is “on the wrong foot” and should “think again” about the continual use of the public right of way it appears to have created (or dedi­ cated) some years ago. If the Ribble Valley


Council does not wish to be involved in the camp­ ing and caravan site, why does it not hand back the site to the Clitheroe Town Council who would show more interest in it and who would employ some local labour; or is there something slightly sinister in the handing over of the management to the Camp­ ing and Caravan Club for the next three years?
