During the visit the various stages of making labels for canned goods were demon­ strated and, after leaving the works, they continued to Whalley for supper at the Tudor Rose Restau­ rant.


Family walk There was an exception­

Apart from a brief heavy shower at the outset, the weather remained fine and all the walkers, ranging in age from three years to 70 plus, completed the two- mile route through Shay Wood and back to the vil­ lage via Woodhouse Lane.

Blackpool, but did not forget his old village when an exchange took place this year. The Blackpool party contacted Whalley and a trip was arranged, which was thoroughly enjoyed.
