whether there has been a significant spin-off for traders, but indications are that the festival has been the most successful


yet. An electrifying event

Martin (27) dj after soccer


THERE was widespread sympathy throughout the village of Chipping this week following the sudden death of Martin Green (27), the son of a former vicar, the late Rev. Thomas Green. Former Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School pupil Martin, of Church Lane, Goosnargh, collapsed and died following a game of football with his local vil­ lage team. A post-mortem revealed


the cause of death as a coronary thrombosis in the left ventricle. It is only a year since his father — Vicar of Chip­ ping for seven years and Vicar of St John the Bap­ tist, Pilling, for a further five — died from the same cause. Martin’s mother, Mrs


Irene Green, cut short a holiday in Rhodes to fly home following a tele­ phone call from daughter Janet (29). The news of M a r tin’s death was broken to her at the air­ port bv her older son, Philip (32). Martin attended Benth- am Grammar School


before moving to Clitheroe for his A-levels. A keen footballer, he turned out regularly for the Old Oak Inn, Lon-
