Brownies and Guides spring a surprise


THE best-kept secret in Clitheroe brought surprise and delight to the face of Mrs. Pat Houldsworth, Ribble Valley Division Commissioner for Guides and Brownies, who has stepped down after eight


years in the post. Mrs. Houldsworth of


Chatbum Park Drive,


Clitheroe, thought she was going out for sup­ per on Friday until the car reached the grounds of Brockhall Hospital. Once inside, she was


greeted by the smiling faces of Brownies and Guides from all over the d iv is ion who had gathered to make a spe­ cial presentation to her. She received a cheque


on behalf of the division and a bouquet from her own Clitheroe Parish Church Brownies. She said: “ It came as

a complete shock, but was a lovely idea and I retire with many happy memories." Mrs. Houldsworth


has been involved with the movement nearly all her life and has been the district commissioner for both Clilh.erPe.aUil Bowland. Division com­ missioners have to relin­ quish this job after eight years and now Mrs.


Houldsworth will be Brown Owl of the Par­ ish Church Brownies.


Her successor is Mrs.


Marjorie Whittaker, of Green Park, Whalley, w ho was d iv is ion secretary.


Took motor cycle


A CLITHEROE man was banned from driv­ ing for six months and fined £50 by the town’s magistrates for taking a motor cycle without the owner's consent. Neil Alistair Tomlin­


son (23), of Hall Street, who took the bike from the front garden of a house in Carlton Place, was also fined £100 for using it without insur­ ance and £30 for breach of a probation order. He told police he had


committed the offences because he was "just keen on bikes."


DAY OF DANCE


MORRIS men and women descended on Sabden and Clitheroe at the weekend taking part in the Country Fayre Ladies' Morris Dancers’ annual Day of Dance.


First stop on Satur­


day morning was Burn­ ley, where six teams performed in the town centre. Lunch was taken at the Pendle Witch, Sabden, before another performance in the village.


At Clitheroe, five


teams — Black Bear, Warrington; Ripley M o rr is Men, Der­ byshire; Bollin Moms Team, Altrincham; Clitheroe Morris Men and the hosts — danced outside the New Inn, Booth's Supermarket and the Castle gates.


The day ended with a


ceilidh at the Roefield Barn, Edisford, for the teams and guests.

THE sun shines and roses bloom — thus Mr Joe Shortland’s illus­ trated talk on “ Roses in legend and fable" at Clitheroe Garden Club was most appropriate!

* FOR BETTER VALUE AND BIGGER CHOICE


A CLITHEROEman has won an appeal against the Ribble Val ley Council’s refusal to allow him to build a gar age in L o ng s i g ht Avenue. Mr A. D. Hall, of


Whalley Road, who took his fight to a public in­ quiry, has now been given permission to build the garage at 2 Longsight Avenue, pro­ viding it is for domestic purposes and not in tended as a motor repair workshop


In a written decision,


inquiry inspector Mr G Arrowsmith said he could not support the council’s claim that the garage would have an unacceptable effect on the appearance of the area.

Members are asked to

Schedules for the


annual show on August 23rd are now available.


OVER £100 was raised at a “Meet your MP” coffee morning orga­ nised by the Clitheroe branch of the Ribble Valley Conservative Association. As our picture shows-


some tempting cakes caught the eye of Mr David Waddington, Ribble Valley MP, and other attractions inc­ luded a bring-and-buy stall and raffle. The coffee morning,


at Clitheroe Conserva­ tive Club on Saturday followed one of Mr Wad- d in g to n ’ s re gu la r surgeries. Branch chairman Mr


Noel Baron said: “We want to reach out to the people of Clitheroe with many more events such as this." Raffle winners were:


Mrs Sedgewick, Mrs M. Ross, Mrs M. Wilmot, Mrs A. Barr}-.


Police warn of easy pickings for thieves


A CLITHEROE police inspector has hit out at drivers in the Ribble Valley who make their vehicles easy pickings for thieves from Man­ chester and Liverpool. Det. Insp. Norman


R ob in son, head of Clitheroe CID, said the thieves are having a rich haul coming into the re­ latively prosperous Rib­ ble Valley. Thousands of pounds


worth of goods are being stolen from cars and vans because own­ ers fail to adopt simple anti-theft measures. In the Clitheroe area,


70 vehicles have been broken into recently and eight cars and vans taken. At the weekend a ear


in a drive in Park Ave­ nue was ente red through a sun roof and c r e d i t cards were stolen. In Hawthorne Place a car’s back win­ dow was removed and a camera worth £50 was taken. Det. Insp. Robinson


said: “These thefts are hard to detect, but small measures will deter most thieves." Cheque books and


cards should never be left in cars and valu­ ables should be locked in the boot. An open win­ dow is an easy target for a thief and cars in beau­ ty spots are a special risk. Wherever possi­ ble, owners are advised to install anti-theft de vices.


Sizzling June


THE second half of June proved a real sizzler, equally as good as the same period in 1970!


After a poor start to


the month, with very wet days on the 9th and 10th, the weather reco­ vered and reached 7S


deg f. on the 14th. Rainfall totalled tw


inches and the highest temperature, on the 2Sth, was S4 deg. f.


St Paul’s festival popular


THE summer festival at St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, is proving very p opu la r and has attracted plenty of visi­ tors. The festival began on


Saturday andfeaturesan exhibition of old town documents, as well as past and present images of Clitheroe as seen through the lens of amateur photographer Mr-Wilf Heatley, of Highfield Road. On Sunday, the Sun­


day School anniversary procession was led by Slaidburn Silver Band and the Clitheroe Mayor and Mayoress, Coun and Mrs Jim McGhie. Tuesday’s “Rock of


A g e s ” service also brought in the crowds and this afternoon a childrens service will be a fitting prologue to a junior disco at the par­ ish hall. Tomorrow, Edisford


playing field is the venue for a sponsored run and on Saturday there will be a family barbecue and American- style hoe-down. The festival ends on


Sunday with thanksgiv­ ing services.


Birthday party


CLITHEROE Sorop- timists celebrated their 40th anniversary with a party at the Moorcock Inn, Waddington, attended by 30 mem­ bers and friends. A birthday cake deco­


rated in the Soroptimist colours of blue and yel­ low was made by a friend of president Mrs Edith Lord and iced by club member Miss Kathleen Hanson. Later in the eveniitg


the ladies were, enter­ tained by . guitarist Nicholas Mackey and friends, including Mrs Janet Cowgill, who sang songs from the shows. It was a lovely even­


ing and a fitting close for the summer break. The club next meets in August.

Tree fight is lost


THE fight to save a beautiful old Wheatley elm tree in Whalley vil­ lage centre has sadly been lost. Whallev and Little


Mitton Parish Council is resigned to the fact that the tree, over a century old and situated on the Vale House site, will have to be felled be­ cause of the killer Dutch


elm disease. The caring council has


twice paid for special treatment but unfortu­ nately this has failed, it is hoped that a younger tree will be placed on the site.
