CLITHEROE Chess Club con­ tinues to meet al the Station Hotel In the town on Tuesday nights, from 7*30 p.m. onwards. The club has two teams in the

against Accrington B resulted in a three-and-a-half to one-a-and- a-half victory for Clitheroe. The team now faces strong opposi­ tion in the forthcoming matches. The search is on for a new


strong player to give the teams strength. About 10 junior members


have joined this season and are making fine efforts to improve their play, although they are not likely to be ready for match play for a year or two. Anyone interested in joining

ABOUT 30 people attracted a large number of sponsors when they put on their walking boots for the Roeficld Leisure Complex nppcnl. The walk, organised by Clithcroc Army Cadets,


offered three distances — 10km, 20km nnd 4<lkm — and there were participants for each. The route


passed through Hashall Eaves and Cisburn. There was a civic send-off for the walkers, as they assembled at Roeficld Barn, from Rihblc Val­


ley Mayor Coun. Albert Atkinson nnd Clitheroc Mayor and Mayoress Coun. and Mrs Ian Brown. Mrs Doreen Euinton, chairman of the Ribblc


Valley Sports and Recreation Association, had a word of praise for the walkers. “It wasn’t easy, as the going was very rough in


places, but everyone finished the various courses. “There weren’t a vast number of participants,


but they did attract a large number of sponsors, so we are hoping the event will prove very worth­


while. It will probably be a few weeks before we know how much money has been raised." Our picture shows the Ribble Valley Mayor


(second left) with the Mayor and Mayoress of Clithcroe and walkers.
