Wanted: a special

clerk Mrs Joyce Hindle says that the constable would have to be a local person, willing to give up some of their time to help. Once selected, the officer would receive full training and join an ever-growing group of conscientious and law-abiding citizens com milted to combating crime. If there is a good

Unfor tunately, her brilliance was not matched by tile string players. Violinist Martin Milner was too strident, with some faulty intimation, and the cellist seemed uninspired, almost lifeless at times, and was not always audible. This was the first time
that the refurbished piano hud been used for a public perfonnanee and the gen eral feeling is that the society now has an instru ment of excellent ipudily for such occasions. The programme opened

A shame people could not bother to come, says Trinity youth worker
THE Ribble Valley’s rural youth got together
recently to tell the public just what they were all about. . . and, sadly, got very little
reaction. Five rural youth groups from Waddington, Chat-
burn, Billingtcm, Whatley ami Sabdcn presented
“Arts in rural parts” at St Helen’s Sunday School, Waddington, and only about all guests out of an invited 300 attended. Said Trinity youth worker Jane Beekford. who
Failed to stop after accident
helped to organise the event: ‘The people who came were very impressed witli what they saw. It was just a shame that others could not he bothered to come.” Featured were various projects, from wall-hang
ings to video films, with the young people oil hand to explain them. Jane said: “The idea started last year when I
was on maternity leave. We decided to split my leave to have one person covering half my job . . . and to give the rest of the money towards Action Fac tory, a community arts project from Blackburn to run these projects and bring new skills into the Ribble Valley.” Noreen Boyle, who covered half of Jane’s job,
oversaw the projects, ill which the young people expressed the identity of their own groups, which often have to share village premises with many others. Visitors to the event included Deputy Mayor of
the Kibble Valley Couii. Alan Kay, Kibble Valley tourism officer Mr Keith Taylor and Kibble Valley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee chair man Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg.
