CIVIC SEND-OFF FOR RESIDENTS’ COMMUNAL ROOM r \


Book fair is a hit!


CLITHEROE Oxfam shop’s first book fair, held at the United Reformed Church, raised lore thaii £1.100. This was the best result


of any Oxfam book fair event in the North West and the organisers are grateful to everyone who made the day such a success. Mrs Janet Royle, secre­


tary of the Clitheroe shop, said: “The books were mainly hard-backeil non­ fiction, of good quality, and included many old and rare ones.” There was even a com­


plete set of early edition Shakespeare plays.


More room


TOILET facilities at Slaid- bum are to receive a wel­ come extension. The existing building,


on Ribble Valley Council’s Chapel Street car park, is relatively isolated and the Borough’s Planning and Development Committee was told that it would not affect any of the amenities of the residents of the village.
