IT’S going to be a cracker of a Bonfire Night in Clitheroe on Monday — with a big fire, big fireworks display and, it is hoped, a big amount raised for charity.

dangerous for the Cub Scouts who are to use the football pitches on the following weekend. In-the past, the football pitches have proved a


popular dumping ground, said Mr Jeff Robbins, who is in charge, of the collection of firewood for the bonfire and has detailed a party of voluntary workers to comb the grounds for rubbish on the day after the event.

soft. Organisers are tightening up security arrange­


ments to make sure that the growing pile of fire­ wood being amassed at the grounds is not subject to damage from local vandals. The Bonfire Night celebrations are being


organised, as usual, by Clitheroe Rotary Club, Ribblesdale Rotary Club and Ribble Valley Rotaract, and hundreds of pounds have been spent on fireworks to help the night go with a colourful bang. Profits will be split between the three groups’ general funds for later donation to charities. The bonfire is to be lit at 6-30 p.m. and the fire­


works should begin at about 7-15 p.m. Hamburg­ ers and hot dogs will be provided by Rotaract members. '

Instead look for a well-established local professional firm who can claim independence (typically, a member of F1MBRA) and you can expect to be offered contacts and funds which suit your situation now, and in the future. Often such services can be free of direct charge, remuneration being by commissions paid for by the insurance company or unit trust group. If it's financial security you arc looking for, start saving, gel some good advice - and make sure it's truly independent!
