Club members were greatly saddened at


the passing of a man who spent so much of his life building the club into the thriving business it is today.


Mr Kay, who lived in Great Harwood, played golf


for CO years and was associated with the Clitheroe club for a t least 40 of them. I t is doubly sad th a t Mr Kay should die in the club’s


centenary year, a celebration he devoted so much of


his time to organising. He was club captain in 1967-68 and its president


from 1973-75, but his services to golf went beyond Clitheroe. He helped Stonyhurst Golf Club become established and in recognition of this was made an


honorary member. Mr Kay was also a g re a t believer in forging links


between golfers across E a s t Lancashire and worked towards this as president of the E a s t Lancashire Golf Association from 1982-4. Mr Kay leav es a b ro th e r , H a r ry , who lives in


Shropshire, and a sister, Mary, of Harrogate. His wife, Beatrice, died several years ago. He worked as an e le c t r ic i ty b o a rd official fo r 45 y e a r s un til


retirement. ' Clitheroe club captain Mr Michael Thompson paid .............. . ,


this tr ibute to Mr Kay: “Clitheroe has lost one of its most dedicated members. There can have been few others over the p as t century who have devoted as much time, enthusiasm and inte re st in serving golf in general and our club in particular. “To have travelled with him to outside functions or


be in his company when dignitaries came to Clitheroe was to know with w ha t affection and e s te em he was held throughout Lancashire. “Wg, the members of the club, h a v e jo s t a loyal


friend and g re a t ambassador for our club.” The service will be held a t Great Harwood tomor­ row, prior to cremation a t Accrington.

P o ll tax cuts lined u p


for 2 5 , 0 0 0 payers


A L L the consternation and discord over the poll tax has prompted the Government to aunch a course of action that could cut bills by


I up to £267. E n ti t le d th e “Commu­


n i ty C h a rg e R e d u c t io n S ch em e ,” i t comes into effect from April 1st and means th a t all Ribble Val­ ley residents who qualified for tran s i t io n a l re l ie f in the last financial year will have their charge cut even


T h e sch em e will also


br in g many more people into e n t i t lem e n t and is aimed a t people in homes which used to have low rateable values with low ra te bills.


The council sa y s th a t


25,0 0 0 p e o p le , o r tw o t h i r d s o f th e c h a r g e - payers, will benefit from th e s c h em e , w i th th e e n t i t l e m e n t v a r y i n g between l ip and £267 and averaging a t £112.


Anyone who was shown


on th e b o ro u g h council reg iste r on Feb ru ary 15th, 1991, a s l ia b le fo r th e charge last March, will be eligible for the scheme.


F o r example, a Clith ­


eroe couple who paid £261 rates last year, will each receiv e £18S re l ie f n ex t year while a single house­ h o ld e r p ay in g th e same ra te s will receive £5 relief next year.


All calculations will be


made automatically by the council and will be shown on th e new com m u n ity charge bills when they are sent out a t the end of this month.


A n y o n e w i t h a n y


queries about the scheme should contact the borough council (28849).


THE by-election may be over, but national interest in the Ribble Valley is still sizzling — thanks to Clith- eroe’s famous sausages. A favourite stopping off


place for many people on th e campaign t ra i l was C ow m a n ’s B u t c h e r s , famed for its many varie­ ties of sausage.
