TV experiment in Waddington goes into print


THE six-week television experiment in Wacl- dinffton which earned it the nickname of the television village” is now the subject ol a book


published this month. The book, also called

Pub with a big heart


I REGULARS at the Judge Walmesley in Billington


I have shown that when it I comes to fund-raising they


are the tops. The pub held a host of


I events last year for Chil- Idren in Need and have finally finished collecting


^ j ]


I all the money in. A quiz night, raffles and


a grand auction have helped the fund-raisers to notch up a bumper total of £1,550. The casli was handed


I over to Radio Lancashire’s Bob Roberts at a special presentation at the Judge | Walmesley.


Harpsichord player


TALENTED musician David Francis will be per- f o rming at Whal l ey Library on February 7th. Mr Francis performs


extensively as a soloist and contimio player with a number of leading orches­ tras and is harpsichord tutor at the Royal North­ ern School of Music.


| He is also in demand as a member of the early music group “ Musical Offering,” which presents the finest baroque cham­ ber music on period instruments. The concert will be


given between 12-45 and 1-30 p.m. and admission is free.


ment was to give ordinary viewers a preview of the television revolution likely to take place during the lS)!)0s and to listen to viewers’ views. Three million pounds’


worth of equipment, some still in the prototype s ta g e , was brou ght together from all over Europe and installed in Waddington — villagers could try around 30 chan­ nels aiid even created their own local channel, which became the star of


the project. Tile villagers were also


the first people to try widescreen sets and high definition televisions in


their homes. The results were filmed


by Granada for a Channel T series, "The Television Village,” broadcast last May anil June. Tile hook details the background to the project, studies the multi-choice


programming available and summarises research


findings. It also gives an insight into view'd thoughts about the choices on offer. Some of the interesting


facts and revelations turned up by the hook are: • An unforeseen prob­


lem caused by cattle and sheep, which chewed their way through cables, caus­ ing signals to be lost! • The villagers' predic­


tion of the merger of SKY and BSB before it hap­ pened, suggesting there wasn’t room for two satel­ lite companies and that one would go broke • Men and children


decide what the family watches on TV. • Most popular chan


nels were specialist, ones showing sport, films, music and children's programmes. • The professional


retiming of residents’ sets improved the reception of many, to the extent that some villagers thought they already had high-res­


olution sets! “The Television Village


hook is published by Broadcasting Support Ser vices and costs £!L50. There is also a special engineering package, which includes the hook and a VMS I’AL video tape, which costs £27.50.

the l!)!ll free guide to Lancashire’s Hill Country. Produced by East Lancashire Newspapers, which


publishes the'“Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, the 32-pagc newspaper promotes the six districts which make up the Hill Country, including the Ribble Val­ iev. And some of the photographs were taken by John Barry, who many of you will know through the pic­


tures he takes for our'paper every week. This year’s guide contains an accommodation listing


for the first time, as well as comprehensive .informa­ tion on events and attractions in Lancashire s Hill


Country. Many of the 100,000 copies printed are handed


to visitors at holiday exhibitions up and down the country. They are also sent out in information packs and given to callers at tourism information centres.


“The Lancashire Hill Country free newspaper is


an excellent means of showing people the vast range of activities and events in our area and the choices available on where to eat and stay, said Mr lony Openshaw, tourism action programme manager lor the Red Rose Consortium, which promotes the Hill


Country. He added: “We are delighted that local tourism-re­


lated businesses continue to support the free guide and we do our best to distribute it as widely as possi­


ble to get maximum impact.” Our picture (for once, not taken by John Barry!)


shows presentation copies of the newspaper being riven out. From the left are: Mr Ossie Hopkins, chief executive of Ribble Valley Council; the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Howel Jones; Ribble Val­ iev’s tourism officer, Mr Keith Taylor; the Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Miss Helen Jones; and Coun.
