Rachel’s on top of the world
THE golden voice and dedication of chorister Rachel Bryan, of West Bradford, have earned her that “top of the world” feeling.
For Rachel (15), joint
head chorister at St Helen’s Church, Wadding- ton, is one of only 11 girls in the world who qualified during 1986 for the Royal School of Church Music’s St Cecilia Junior Award. Her big day came on
Sunday when the Vicar, Canon C. F. Goodchild, presented her jwith the
award before the congre gation at morning service. She is the first girl at St
Helen’s to receive the accolade, although fellow choir member Jonathan Cunliffe (Britain’s top cho rister in 1985) received the St Nicolas Award, the
boys’ equivalent RSCM certificate, more than 12 months ago.

Dismiss case
A MANUFACTURER’S defect could have caused an unexplained accident involving a Clitheroe motorist, the town’ s magistrates were told. They dismissed a case of
careless driving against Adeline Victoria Margaret Ainsworth (77), of Moor land Avenue, after the prosecuting solicitor, Mr Alastair Nisbet, said he w ish ed to o f fe r no evidence. The defendant, who had
entered a not guilty plea, was said to have lost con trol of her car along a straight stretch of road. Mr Nisbet told the court
that the manufacturer had since recalled models simi lar to the defendant’s to correct petrol problems.
Travelling
A VIDEO film taken on holiday in India' was shown by Mr Brian Haig, of Clitheroe, to members
of Clitheroe and District Probus Club. Places visited included
Delhi, Accra and Amrit sar. Mr Noel Cook prop osed the vote of thanks. The subject at the next
meeting, a week tomor row, is “Through the Alps from Venice to Vienna.”
number of late applications had been made to the licensing justices for the transfer of licences and to the Magistrates Court for protection orders. In such instances, said
Mr Parker, the existing licensee had left the prem ises and unauthorised per sonnel had been “placed in charge” without the true authority of the licensee or the court’s permission. “ In future such conduct
will not be tolerated and the premises will close down until the correct application is made,” he said. I f such in c id e n t s
occurred again during 1987, without the prior consent of the court, he warned that appropriate action would be taken at the annual licensing ses sion regarding renewal. Mr Parker went on to
say that all licensees would be issued with a permanent licence which must be kept and pro duced on request to a Jus tice of the Peace or police officer. Supt. Wynne Darwin
also voiced concern about late applications during her annual report, adding that it did not help the police and it was not their duty to make detailed investigations into late applications.
The award recognises
the ability of the chorister to reach an advanced level of musical attainment and also acknowledges the highest standards of loy alty and industry. “ Rachel has worked
e x trem e ly hard and thoroughly deserved her success,” said the choir’s director, Mrs Jean Hart ley, who coached Rachel for her examination. Rachel, a soprano cho
rister at the church for seven years, took part in an hour-long practical test conducted by Mr John Cooke, the Northern Com missioner of the Royal School of Church Music, at his studio in Harrogate. A pupil at St Wilfrid’s
School, Blackburn, Rachel is the daughter of Mr and Mrs Robert Bryan, of Southfield Drive, West Bradford. Her father is a tenor with the choir. Other choristers also
received awards during the s e r v ic e . Rachel Scholes and Helen Balm- forth collected the RSCM red ribbon of the full cho rister and Helen also received a hymn book and trophy marking her gradu ation to the adult section. Jonathan C u n l i f fe
received similar awards for his graduation to the tenor line. External awards from
the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music for examinations, held in December, went to the following: Grade 1 — Simon C unlif fe, Ben Whitham (merit); Grade 2
Hunt the burglar
A NUMBER of people have contacted Clitheroe police in response to the artist’s impression of a suspected burglar on last week’s “Advertiser and Times” front page and inquiries are continuing. The man was spotted in
the Ribble Valley areas where three daylight burglaries had taken place and property worth £3,896 was stolen.
— Helen Balmforth, Rebecca Wood, Samantha Greenwood, Joseph Star- buck (distinction); Grade 3 — Sharon Montgomerie (merit), Rachel Scholes (distinction); Grade 5 — Rachel Bryan (merit).
It was announced that
Samantha Greenwood had been appointed deputy head choirgirl and Andrew Cunliffe deputy head choirboy. Rachel is pictured
receiving her award from Canon Goodchild, watched by Mrs Hartley.
Worked as foreman welder
A CHATBURN man who worked for the same firm all his working life, Mr Richard Cunliffe, has died,
aged 74. Born in Oswaldtwistle,
Mr Cunliffe came to the Ribble Valley many years ago and lived in Ribbles- dale View. He trained as a blacksmith with William Blythe the chemical works in Church and was a fore man welder when he retired in the late 1970s, after 51 years. He le a v e s a w i fe ,
Florence, and a daughter Anne. Mr Cunliffe was a mem
ber of Chatburn Men’s Society and a k?en sup porter of cricket and foot ball in the village. The service and inter
ment took place at Christ C h u r ch , C h a tb u rn ,
yesterday.
Taxi firm finds parking problem
A CLITHEROE taxi firm has contacted the police to find out whether motorists parking in an area designated for Hackney carriages can be taken to court and prosecuted.
Family company Car
and Town Hire, run by father and son team Gran ville and Gary Britton, wants to clear up the problem of car owners parking their vehicles on the Hackney stand in King Lane.
Co-director Gary Brit
ton contacted the “Adver tiser and Times” asking if we could put the message across to motorists, fol lowing scores of com plaints from the firm’s cab drivers saying that ordi nary cars were often park ing within the yellow line boundary of the two-vehi cle stand.
Said Gary: “We pay £25
per car for the use of the Hackney stand, which is clearly marked with yel low paint.
“ At f ir s t , to allow
motorists to become accus tomed to the position of the stand, police put a few cones around its perime ter, but these have now m y s t e r io u s l y disappeared.”
G a ry a d d ed th a t
although some motorists park on the stand out of ignorance, he felt that some of the violators were
just trying to be awkward because they resented change in the town.
Clitheroe police are looking into the matter.
Oxbridge places
FORMER head boy of Stony hurst College, Dan iel Viney, was among 10 leavers to gain places at Oxford and Cambridge. Daniel, of Cow Ark, has
just completed his first term at Merton College, Oxford, reading classics. Successful students win
ning places at Cambridge were: Jeremy Cheam (Robinson College, theol ogy); Simon Csoka (Fitz- william, law); Andrew Fendt (St John’s, engi neering); David Fung (Trinity Hall, mathemat ics); Benjamin Hawes (Pembroke, English); Patrick Mayhew (Magda lene, geography); Yoji Takano (P em b rok e , economics). Those going to Oxford
were: Marcus Newton (Balliol, classics); Robert Strang (University Col lege, politics, philosophy and economics).
Winners on Thursday night
were NS Mr Bushby and Mr Singer, Mrs Ringham and Mrs Campbell. EW Mr Guha and Mr f. Pollard from Mr Capstick and Mr Wolstenholme, Mrs Thompson and Mrs Cross
(joint). R.K.A. Bumper sum
THE bumper sum of £120 has been raised by the landlord and customers of the Commercial Hotel, Whalley Road, Clitheroe, for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. The money — raised by
donations, draws and fil ling a gallon bottle with coins — was presented to Mr Stanley Snape, a rep resentative of the associa tion.
BRIDGE CLUB
WINNERS of the duplicate game at Clitheroe Bridge Club were NS Mrs D. Fazackerley
and Miss M. Vinten, Mr R. Atkinson and Mr P. Jennings; EW Mr R. Hounslow and Mr D. Hall, Mr R. Wilkin and Mr Baines. The following hand was usu ally played in three no trumps
by north. However, with a good six-card major suit and a sing leton in the other major suit (not. bid by his partner), four spades is much the safer con tract. This usually made 11 tricks
(no trumps only making nine), but at one table west led the five of clubs. This was won with the ace and south immedi ately played three rounds of
diamonds, discarding his single-
ton heart. The queen of spades was
then finessed, losing to the king. Declarer ruffed the heart return, drew trumps and en tered dummy with the king of clubs to cash the two remaining diamonds. Thus 12 tricks were made ( f iv e spa d e s ,
f ive
diamonds and two clubs). S dealer, NS vul.

Increase likely in county rate
RIBBLE VALLEY ratepayers are likely to face substantial increases following a package drawn up by the county council’s Finance Sub-commit tee to “protect and improve vital services.”
The committee has
recommended a county precept for the coming financial year of 199p in the £, an increase of 15p (8.2 per cent) over the current year’s precept.
The proposal — a major
element in the rates fixed by the Ribble Valley Council — will be subject to confirmation by the county council on March 5th.
Ribble Valley Treasurer
Mr Gordon Onslow said that the proposal would result in a minimum overall increase of 16p in the £ for local ratepayers, but this still had to be decided at a special rate fixing meeting on March
6th. County finance chair
man County Coun. Leon ard Proos said: “This year we have been faced with severe difficulties as a result of the significant reduction in the size of our capital allocations, particu larly for the education ser vice and the constantly changing block grant situation.
“We have so far been
given four sets of different proposals by the Govern ment since the beginning of the budget process.”
He said that after care
ful scrutiny of all options for keeping any increase in the precept to a minimum, without affecting services, the Labour group on the county council had recom mended a rate increase of 15p or 8.2 per cent.
“The budget (including
an allowance for inflation up to Mar ch, 1988) involves net expenditure of about £619m, of which the block grant from cen tral Government will pro vide some £318m, leaving £301m to be met by the ratepayers.”
“ The pa ck ag e is
designed to protect and improve the vital services we provide to maintain the quality of life of the people of Lancashire, without forming an undue burden on the ratepayers,” he added.
