The reason tnat the wall

decision to erect the fence had been discussed at a public meeting of the par­ ish council and that no attempt had been made to keep the residents unin­ formed. This is probably (piite tine, but equally the parish council made no attempt at all to inform the residents o f their intentions. If there was a problem wouldn’t it have been far better to let them have the opportunity to right the matter? Instead, it has cost


Whalley ratepayers the fees for the surveyor, the fees for the valuer and £S00 for the fence, and alienated some of the resi­ dents against the parish council, all for a fruitless

exercise that is quite unnecessary and grossly unfair. I have had a few coun­


cillors tell me that in fact they were against the decision to erect this fence and initially at a parish council meeting the motion was defeated unani­ mously. Then a few months later, the matter was raised again and because not all the mem­ bers were present it was eventually carried, with the chairman having the casting vote.

Fitting tribute to a remarkable man


AN historic day was recorded at Clitheroe Castle Museum with the official opening of the Stanley Westhead Memorial Room. The ceremony was performed by Mr Simon Westhead, of Blackburn, the eldest


son of the late Mr Westhead, who died in 198G. The opening marks the completion of two years’ preparation work by Clitheroe


Civic Society, which first suggested the memorial as a tribute to its former president.


Mr Westhead, who was closely involved in many aspects of Clitheroe life,


built up one of the country’s largest private collections of fossils. Many of these went to the British Museum, but a selection of specimens found in the Ribble Valley will now be on public view for the first time in Clitheroe following the opening. Eighty people, representing various organisations, attended the opening of the


room. Guests included the Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun.Ian Brown, and the Mayor of


Ribble Valley, Coun. Albert Atkinson. Curator Mr Steve Thompson said the room would provide a valuable addition to


the displays. Mr John Blundell, Lancashire County Council’s museums officer, said the


new facility was something of which Clitheroe people could be proud. Mr John Chew, chairman of the Civic Society, said he was very pleased


at the co-operation of all sides in bringing into being the Stanley Westh­ ead Room. The idea for it had captured the public imagination. Pictured from left: Mr Chew, Coun. Atkinson, Mr Westhead and Mr Blundell.


G eo f f aims to continue work for community


CONTINUING Clitheroe Lions’ community work is top of the agenda for new president Mr Geoffrey Braithwaite.


Mr Braithwaite, of


Hemlock Cottage, Down- ham, has been a member of the club since it was formed five years ago. He wants to continue


with the Lions’ drug awareness scheme and lock-up campaign, and generally promote the good understanding within other service organisa­ tions in the Ribble Valley. Mr Braithwaite (51), a


stationery proprietor, de­ clared: “We have a tre­ mendous friendship with the Clithe ro e Round Table, and if we can encourage a similar link with the Rotary Club all the better.” He said he wanted to


involve youth as well, and the club may appoint a youth officer. Mr Braithwaite is

It was ‘absolutely spiffing’


THE Coulthurst Jubilee Playing Field at Rimington was invaded by those notorious “ Belles o f St Trinians,” alias several of the lasses from the neighbourhood. They were accompanied by their “ headmistress,” a heavily


disguised Mr Sid Sweeting, resplendent in lace-trimmed ging­ ham bloomers, gym slip, mortar-board and gun. The girls were out to trounce the local lads at cricket, or


something similar to that noble game. They did just that, by 107 runs to 37. Admittedly, the chaps were rather handicapped, having to


wear wellies and eye patches over one their eyes. And the girls’ interpretation o f the rules o f cricket were


fairly wide of the mark! However, incriminating evidence of blanlant rule bending


will no doubt be revealed when the video recording is played back. A large crowd egged on the two teams, and there were also


pony rides for the children and a raffle. Refreshments were provided by the ladies. Organised by Pam Gillespie and Toni Parker, the evening


raised £200, which is to be divided between St Mary’s Church, Gisburn, and Rimington Recreation Fund. All were agreed that the evening had been, in the jargon o f St Trinians, “ absolutely spiffing.”


Splendid views


SPLENDID views of Sab- den and the Ribble Valley were enjoyed by members of the Clitheroe branch of the Ramblers’ Association during an evening walk. Led by Pat Parrott, the


group met at the Nick of Pendle, walked around Clough Reservoir, then past Sabden Clough and back to the Deerstones and Apronfull Hill.
