Read family back in festival limelight


AFTER a year’s absence from the family group class in the prestigious Burnley Music Festival, the Britnells, of George Lane, Read, returned with a vengeance, win­ ning praise from judges with their excellent in­ terpretation of excerpts from the Andrew Lloyd-


Webber musical “Cats." Their spontaneous en- thusiam for their work earned them second prize, one of several awards gained by the family at the festival. In 1983 Gerald Britnell,


his wife Sally, son Roger and daughter, Amanda, were outright winners of the family class with their interpretation of songs from musicals.


Mrs Britnell, a guitar


teacher, said: “We did not have time to enter as a family last year and it was a surprise and delight to do so well this time against strong opposi­


tion." Amanda (14) is a school­


girl in Blackburn and Roger is taking a City and Guilds course in piano restoration at a technical college in Newark. Gerald (53) runs Brit-


nell’s Insurance Bureau in Clitheroe. He also came away with honours of his own, entering five singing classes and winning those for operatic and bass.

Sally sang a duet with


ing her guitar group for the ensemble class but it was lucky to compete at all because of a series of accidents. Jackie Taylor, of Read,


had to pull out because of a broken arm, then Andrew’ Shaw’ broke his thumb and had to retire. Ann Spencer, of Read,


contracted glandular fever, but recovered in time and just as Sally thought her troubles were over, John Buxbaum, of Waddington, turned up on the day itself sporting a black eye after an acci­ dent in his work as a builder. The six-strong ensem­


ble was nevertheless de­ termined to go through with its entry after so much practice and was glad it did, being awarded second place. Our photograph shows

THE Ribble Valley Junior Schools’ soccer team had an easy win over bottom- of-the-league Lancaster. Ribble Valley made a


great start when captain Martin Briggs scored after only a couple of mi­ nutes. Winger Andrew Wray knocked in the second a short time later, and further goals looked inevitable, but no more were added in the first


half. Possibly, because of


having found such an easy start to the game, the Ribble Valley side lost some of its rhythm and struggled to maintain any real pressure until Briggs eased the tension a little with a good solo goal. Lancaster managed to
