THERE is good news for Christmas shoppers and


visitors to the town — Clitheroe is to have a smart new crib!


Security-conscious coun­


cillors have agreed that once again the crib will be protected by a close-cir­ cuit camera to fend off the attentions of vandals, who two years ago smashed thousands of light bulbs and stole some of the


figures. As a result of the at­

The new crib, being fi

Methodist Synod at Trinity


MEMBERS of Trinity Methodist Church in Clitheroe expect up to 200 visitors on Saturday for the North Lancashire Methodist Synod, which


meets in the town. Local Methodists will


act as hosts to representa­ tives from IS circuits, and svnod chairman is the Rev. Bill Knowles, a forme r m in is te r at


Trinitv. The R ev . Jim


Needham, minister at


Trinity, will lead opening devotions, and the session will split into six seminar groups, one being led by former Clitheroc Mayor Mr Howel Jones, who is district home mission sec­


retary. Subjects discussed will


include proposals for a new order of ministry, children and Holy Com­ munion, and civil dis­ obedience.

Confidence in new bus routes


County Council representative Mr Chris Stockton. .


Several n queries were .


brought up at the Parish Councils’ Liaison Commit­ tee meeting, ami Mr Stockton was able to put many minds at rest.


Although the actual


“Betty's Bus” is to disap­ pear, "the service will con­ tinue, except for the link to Nelson and Burnley. Mr Stockton said the qualities of the service will be promoted and he honed its personal aspects will be maintained.


Coun. Mrs Dorothy


P ea r son (Sla id b u rn ) brought up the teething troubles of the new Slajd- burn to Clitheroe service which aims to reach its destination in time for youngsters to catch school and college connections.


She told the meeting


that the bus had arrived later and later each morn­ ing and also took the


wrong route, coming over Waddington Kell instead of via Grindleton.


She said: “Unless it is


seen to be operating at proper times, how are people expected to know


Trophy’s


disappearing trick


NOW vou see it — now vou don't. That was the ease with a 2ft. high trophv which disappeared off tlie bar at the White Lion Hotel. Market Place,


Clitheroe'. Even landlord Mr Roy


Widdup, who dabbles in conjuring, was mystified by the disappearing act ’ He commented: "Our


team were the last win ners of the Whitbread quia league, and although the trophy had_ little material value, it^was verv hard fought for." He believes it may have


been taken as a bit of fun, or for a bet, and hopes it will soon be returned.


Pendle Club


BRIDGE winners at the Pendle Club, Clitheroe were Mrs S. Cowperth waite and Mr T. Thom ber, Mrs P. Adey and Mrs F. Porter.


where it will be?” Mr Stockton accepted


si 11 *S 11 tsAV"


that the service had not been performed adequate­ ly and said the County Council was looking into the reasons for it.


He added that some vil­


lages at the Gisburn end of the valley seemed to feel they had received a raw deal, and said: “We are tendering a second minibus network linking areas such as Sawley, Kimington and Downham with Clitheroe.”


A late-night Clitheroe


to Slaidburn bus may be run for an experimental six-month period, and the County Council is looking into the possibility of


|


taking in both Bead and Sabden on the Whalley to Padiham route.


Mr S to ck ton a lso


pointed out: “Although Ribble Motor Services are | no longer willing for their commercial service to take part in the Red Rose | Rambler scheme, conces­ sionary fares for pension­ ers and the disabled will not be affected at all.”


He added that negotia- l


tions are going on with British Rail for a Rambler service to be made avail­ able.


The County Council is


establishing a telephone hotline for any queries about the new bus ser­ vices.


Raring to go after last year’s washout


AFTER last year’s washout, entrants to this year’s Hodder Valley Show are raring to go to


make it the best ever. "There is certainly a lot


of interest anti we could have one of tho best, it all depends on the weather again," said president Mr George Robinson.


Rain spoiled the day in


10S5 when the show had to be cancelled, but now, hopefully, the frustration of that dav will be put to rest on Saturday on farmer George Parker's field in Slaidburn.


For se c r e ta ry Mrs


Evelyn Bagshaw it will be h e r ' f ir s t full show. "Everybody wants to get going after last year's set­


back." she said. There are no new clas­


ses, but all the old favour­ ites will be featured in this -13rd event of the Hodder Valley Agricultur­ al and Horticultural Society.


There will be sections


for cattle and sheep and one for young farmers ex­ hibits. Other events in­ clude horse and pony driving and a tug-o-war. Tlie grand parade will be


at 3-30 p.m. The horticultural sec­


tion will include classes for floral art, while other events feature clay pigeon


shooting, craft demonstra­ tions and three-wheeled


bike riding.


Blood donor campaign pays off


THE National Blood Transfusion Service is holding an extra blood donor session in Clitheroe thanks to the success of its recent publicity cam­


paign in the town. This will be at the


Parish Church School, Church Street, Clitheroe, next Thursday, Sep­ tember ISth, between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.. and bet­ ween 5-30 p.m. and 7-30


p.m- An earlier session will


be held this Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon and from 2 p.m. — I p.m. A spokesman for the


service in Lancaster said that the publicity drive with a caravan touring the town had paid off. The vital work of the


service had caught the public's imagination, and staff would be kept busy in the next few days,
