Adventure time in the Dales


IT’S off to the beautiful wilds of the Yorkshire Dales for 14 youngsters from Chatburn Youth Club. The group will spend the second weekend in July


camping, caving and canoeing at Hawkswick Cote Farm, Arncliffe, accompanied by three youth workers. The club has taken to heart the idea of different


groups working together. Members recently visited their Waddington counterparts for an enjoyable joint games night and then returned the hospitality, playing host to the other village for a sports evening on the playing fields. They joined in a concerted effort to clean up the


village and future plans include ski-ing and a visit to Waves at Blackburn. Anyone interested in joining can contact Hazel Jack- son (Clitheroe 41271) or Geoff Jackson (2788G).

Valley! To please his American


audience, Simon featured his impersonations of Mis­ sion Control in Houston. With talk of redundan­


cies at the Ribble Valley Council, Simon is now con­ sidering forming a double act.


He has contacted a man Worthing who does


sound impressions of The Changing of the Guard. He added: “Together we


might be able to tackle a complete Trooping the Colour. Then there is the Battle of Britain. That


o p e n s up e n d l e s s possibilities. "But that is only if


redundancy occurs. It would give me something to fall back on, but I am very happy in my job at present.”


Wrong site


THE change of use of a shop to a Chinese restau­ rant at the Riveria Store, G7 Whalle.v Road, Langho, has been blocked. Members of the Ribble


Valley Council’s Devel­ opment Sub-committee felt that the siting for a r e s t a u r a n t w a s inappropriate. Coun. Bill Fleming (Bil-


l ington) said he was against it on highway grounds. There had been numerous accidents on the road and to create extra movement there at this stage would be dangerous.


THE


Too many holiday places


A WARNING that there is going to be too much holiday accommodation in the Ribble Valley was voiced at a meeting'of the Ribble Valley Council’s D e v e lo pme n t Sub - committee. Coun. Mrs Dorothy


Pearson (Slaidburn) said Slaidburn Parish Council was worried that there were going to be too many applications. T h e c o m m i t t e e


approved a plan for the change of use of part of Potters Barn, at Myttons Farm, Woodhouse Lane, Slaidburn, to form a four- person two-storey holiday flat. Coun. Mrs Pearson said


the application was a gen­ uine one of diversification


and it would be “ very nice.” But she warned that the holiday accommoda­ tion situation would become like that of old people’ s homes in the area. Planning and Technical


Officer Mr Philip Bailey said it was important that everything was done to work within the confines of not wanting to spoil the Ribble Valley.


They’re the tops at cycle safety


A LOCAL school has used its road safety knowledge to the full and gained top spot in


the Ribble Valley Road Safety Competition. The competition is an


annual event run by the Community Affairs Police Department in Burnley and organised by the Schools’ Liaison Officer, PC Brian Blackburn. In the semi- f inals,


Brookside School beat Slaidburn by 120 points to 80 and Barrow and Wis- well School beat Langho CE by 115 points to 80. In the final held at Edis-


ford School, Brookside defeated Barrow-Wiswell by 120 points to 100. Brookside won a shield


for being the top school in Clitheroe and another for being the winner of the Ribble Valley schools. The safety-minded children were presented with their awards by the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. and Mrs Ian Brown. The semi-finalists were


not forgotten and all mem­ bers of the four teams were awarded a small shield and a prize. These were provided by ICI and presented by works man­ ager Mr Martin Hill. The evening was hosted


by Supt Wynne Darwin, of Clitheroe. The finalists are now looking forward to a trip to the police head­ quarters at Hutton later this month.


HARMFUL


AN extension to provide an additional bedroom, games room and garage at Rowan House, Paythorne, has been refused by the Ribble Valley Council’s D e v e lo pme n t Sub - committee. It was felt that the


extension, because of its size, would be harmful to the character of the build­ ing and surrounding area. It was also felt that it would set a precedent for similar extensions in the area which would also be detrimental.


Two-week amnesty


for knives


GOT a knife? Then you’ve got trouble. That is the message from the Home Office to anyone who car­ ries a knife or weapon in public, whether for bra­ vado or “just in case.”


As part o f a special


national campaign, Lanca­ shire Constabulary is to grant a fortnight-long knives and offensive weap­ ons amnesty, beginning on Monday.


The aim is to take


potentially dangerous items out of circulation by urging holders to hand them over to the police on a “ no questions asked” basis and on the under­ standing that anyone who disposes of a weapon will not be prosecuted.


The move comes at a


time when the Criminal Justice Bill, presently before Parliament, is set to introduce a new law agaihst being in possession of a bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without “good re son.”


It will be up to the car­


rier to prove that he or she does have a good rea­


son, otherwise it will be considered as committing an offence.


come into force in August and will mean a £400 fine or prison for offenders. All main police stations


in the county, including Clitheroe, will provide special secure bins for peo­ ple to deposit knives and weapons anonymously.

THE subject of the annual Dales Fellowship, held on Saturday at Salem Congregational Chapel, Martin Top, was “Green and pleasant land?”


The speaker for the con­


ference was the Rev. John S a l s b u r y , U n i t e d Reformed Church Minis­ ter for Clitheroe, Newton and Barrow. A total of 38 representa­


tives from churches asso­ ciated with the Dales Fel­ lowship — Clitheroe, Crawshawbooth, Raven- stonedale, Grassington, Settle, Northallerton, Newton, Kendal and Low Row — were introduced to a special study of rural life and ministry and the booklet produced by the speaker about rural depri­ vation. It is entitled “And is there honey still...?" The study showed how


big the gap is between the romantic pictures of coun­ try life and the realities for the people who live there. The theme for the morn­


ing “Beyond the picture postcard” was introduced by an enactment of a par­ ish meeting to discuss the provision of low cost hous­ ing for young couples and the elderly. In the afternoon three


groups discussed issues under the theme “Land of hope and glory?” At the business meeting


it was resolved to hold the 1989 Fellowship at Settle Zion Congregat i onal Chapel. Following high tea,


served in the newly-de­ corated Sunday School room, the day ended with


the celebration o f the Lord’s supper, celebrant being the Rev. Desmond Owen.

AN invitation to “bat the rat" was oii the menu when the 1st Pcmlle Scouts held their annual barbe­ cue on the Castle Field.


Their new assistant Scout leader, Dr John McGre­


gor, a radiologist at Blackburn Royal Infirmary who now lives in the Clitheroe area, supervised the “rat batting” exercise and there was no shortage of youth­ ful takers.


Meanwhile, other stalls and sideshows did a roar­ ing trade and profits, which will go towards the


maintenance and running costs of the group's mini­ bus, amounted to a handsome £530. The guest celebrity was Welliphant, the Fire Bri­


gade mascot, who to everyone’s amusement joined in special sports events for the Beavers, the youngest members of the Scout movement. The Cubs staged a knock-out competition, which


included a BMX obstacle race, while parents manned other attractions. As always, the barbecue team was required to produce n non-stop supply of hot dogs and hamburgers.

Fined £200 for fracas after party


A CLITHEROE club official ended up in hospital after a 21st birthday party turned


sour, the town’s magistrates were told. They heard that Royal e y e , r e q u ir in g


British Legion club official Christopher Ward was taken unconscious to Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary, after an argument with the man whose birth­ day it was.


....._ _


Ball (21), o f Newton Street, Clitheroe, was fined £200 after pleading guilty to maliciously wounding Mr Ward out­ side the club. He was also ordered to pay £100 com­ pensation to Mr Ward and £20 court costs.


Christopher Michael Mr Nigel Harrison, pro­


secuting, said that the assault was of a serious nature and took place as a result of a verbal exchange inside the club between the two men. Mr Ward had felt it


necessary to speak to Ball because of unruly beha­ viour, involving rocking a slot machine and entering the ladies’ toilets. The club official had a


speech impediment and Ball was also in a group of people making comments about the way he spoke. Ill feeling developed between the two men and a fight took place in a car park outside the club. Ball kicked Mr Ward in


the face while he was lying on the ground and the offi­ cial ended up unconscious with a cut over his right


f our


stitches, and a badly swol­ len and bruised face. He had to remain in hospital overnight for observation. Mr John Houldsworth,


representing Ball, said the n ig h t st a r t'ed of f


extremely well and then turned sour. The 21st


birthday party had been arranged by the defen­ dant’s girlfriend but, as was so often the case on such occasions, too much alcohol was consumed. Ball admitted that his


behaviour had been some­ what lacking, but claimed Mr Ward had upset him and his friends and had made the situation worse by his own actions. Mr Houldsworth alleged


that the fight had taken place between two willing participants and that it nad been initiated by Mr Ward. He felt Ball had been prosecuted because he had won. Ball kicked out as he


was dragged away by his friends and had not inten­ tionally kicked Mr Ward in the face. The defendant also received cuts and grazes. Presiding magistrate


Mrs Margaret Lupton told the defendant: “This is a very serious offence — the type we do not like to see in Clitheroe, or anywhere else. It was a sad end to a 21st birthday.”
