exercise, which often sees a lot of hopefuls fail, included a 30-mile trek in full combat gear, a nine- mile speed march - and ah endurance course.


The final week was


tough, but Paul managed to survive and received his treasured green beret at a passing out ceremony hold at the Devon camp.


Fresh from training,


Paul has now been posted to 45 Commando in Ar­ broath, Scotland, and-is looking forward to a whole new world awaiting him. ■

Prestigious line-up


for dinner


THE Ribble Valley Enter­ prise Agency has a pres­ tigious line-up of speakers for its first dinner, which is being held at the Stirk


'House Hotel, Gisburn, on November 28th.


They include the former


chairman of British Rail, Sir Peter Parker, and Mr David Grayson, who was formerly a candidate in British and European Par­ liamentary elections. Today, Sir Peter is one


of Britain’s leading indus­ trialists, while Mr Grayson is- operations and enter­ prise director of Business in the Community, an umbrella organisation for all enterprise agencies. They will be introduced

He bought them recently at an auc­ tion at Christies in South Kensington when 500 buyers from all over the world were bidding. It is now .the largest Meccano display in the North West and dates back as far as 1918. Said David: “It’s a lucky


couple who can say they look forward to coming to work each day. . . but we do! The future leaves us with nothing but hope.” And also, of course, the


problem of finding a por­ ridge pan big enough for that teddy bear invasion.


New vicar for St Paul’s


THE new Vicar of St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, is to be the Rev. Rodney Nicholson.


Mr Nicholson (44), who is married


with two children, serves on the Dioce­ san. Education Committee and is also editor of the Diocesan monthly maga­ zine, “The See.”


He was educated at Merton College,


Oxford, and graduated with a B.A. in 1968 and an M.A. in 1971, before


training for ordination at Ridley Hall, Cambridge.


Mr Nicholson served in curacies at


St Bartholomew’s Church, Colne, from 1972-75 and at St John’s Church, Blackpool, until 1978, when he became Vicar o f St Bartholomew’s Church, Ewood.


The date of his institution has not yet been arranged.
