A GIFT from Clitheroe’s twin town Rivesaltes has been presented to the Rib­ ble Valley Council’s tourist


office. An inscribed chalice


arrived in'the area with a party of 44 visitors from Rivesaltes in France and was initially handed over to Coun. John' Cowgill, who was the civic digni­ tary who signed the twin­ ning charter several years ago on behalf of Clitheroe


to Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. John Cliff at a coun­ cil meeting and asked if it could be passed on to the tourism office.


He, in turn, presented it


that the chalice was a gift from the Rivesaltes tourist office and suggested that a reciprocal present should be taken to France from the borough during the next exchange trip.
