IN reply to Coun. Fleming, first let me thank him for'the information he has given and then briefly deal with the information he has not


given. What services are going

Parish Hall on the even­ ing of the recording I was told by one of the organis­ ers of the committee that they had all the contes­ tants they wanted. I felt very hurt by this com­ ment and indeed very em­ barrassed, as I had told friends, relatives and indeed a million Piccadilly Radio listeners that morn­ ing that I would be taking part. Later the same even­


ing, while having a drink in the Swan and Royal Hotel, a member of the


800 Committee apologised to me for this mix up and put the blame on the Ribble Valley Council for not informing the 800 Committee of my partici­ pation in the recording. The BBC producer, a


gentleman I had met two years ago on Jeremy Bea­ dle's “Nightcap” program­ me, was very surprised at my absence and men­ tioned that if he had seen me in the hall he would have definitely used me on the recording. Obviously there was a


genuine mix-up between the 800 Committee and th e Ribble Valley


Borough Council, al­ though I do feel that surely, with my track record of over 20 TV and 80 radio appearances, the 800 Committee could have been a lot more consider­ ate in its planning of the programme. I have been proud to be


associated with Clitheroe and on my travels to vari­ ous radio stations all over the UK I have men- taioned the town. I per­ sonally feel very let down bv the 800 Committee. SIMON J. ENTWISTLE, Valentine Cottage, 13 Waddington Road, Clitheroe.


Need for photo booth


THERE seems to be a never ending need of small photographs such as those produced by auto­ matic machines, seen in leading large or depart­ mental stores in main towns, not only for their suitability for passports, etc., but probably more because of their on-the- spot availability within minutes of being taken.

Otherwise if this would

Could the objecting
