influenced by an interest in geography, before demonstrating how his work had evolved to its present, more creative


approach. lie also gave details of


the trips he runs, concen­ trating on landscape photography. Members found the whole evening inspirational. On Tuesday, club mem­


ber Mr Frank Barnes will show slides of his “Travels in Thailand.”

for a 100% return of voting forms by Monday in time for processing them, said he had first approached the council in November about the scheme. “Then the planners gave


me a straight thumbs d ow n ,” he dec lared. “ However, since then things have got moving and on my last visit one of the planners said that a suitable scheme for the site would be acceptable." One idea put forward by


villagers — to offer the site to a builder for low cost housing as well luxury homes to allow him to make a profit — has already been vetoed by the Ribble Valley planning manager, Mr Stuart


Bailey. He said: “There is no


way that we would agree to having luxury homes erected to offset the cost o f providing low-cost


homes.” Meanwhile, villagers are


negotiating with the Brad­ ford and Northern Hous­ ing Association. If a low cost housing scheme is wanted in Grindleton and agreed by planners, the association will then approach central govern­ ment for a grant, before getting a builder to take over the scheme and run it as a charity.

Director of failed

A CLITHEROE man, Mr Philip Robert Copeland, was involved in a case con­ cerning the compulsory winding up of Manchester- based Coloroll Carpets Ad in the High Court,

listed. The petition to wind up


the company, incorporated n October, 1984, and shown to trade as carpet wholesalers with a regis­ tered office in Manchester, was presented in the com­ panies’ court by J. and H. Rhodes (Wool) Ltd, of Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire. It was claimed that,


despite demands for pay­ ment, the company owed them £144,054 in respect


of a trade debt. At the first hearing of


the petition on October 10th, the court was told that the company was in administrative receiver­ ship. The proceedings were twice adjourned to enable the company to be sold as a going concern. At the final hearing, it


was confirmed that the sale envisaged had been achieved, and on the appli­ cation of counsel for the petitioners, which was not opposed by the receivers, Mr Registrar Buckley made the order to compul­ sorily wind up the com­ pany’s affairs.

Driver was ‘naive and stupid’


A CHATBURN driver who swapped the tax disc and plates from his old car to a new one had been “naive and stupid," Clith­ eroe magistrates were


told. Ian Stuart Lewis (25), a


stores’ van driver, of Ribblesdale View, 'as


fined £175 for driving without insurance, £100 for using an excise licence fraudulently, £50 for using the car without anexcise licence, £20 for having no test certificate and £20 for using registration plates


fraudulently. Lewis, who pleaded


guilty, was also ordered to pay £16.66 back duty and £20 towards prosecution


costs. Mr Angus Craigon, pro­


secuting, said the charges arose from enquiries made by a policeman three weeks after Lewis had bought a red Cortina. Lewis had bought the


Cortina for £135 for spares, said Mr Neil Har­ rison, representing the defendant. But he found it was in better condition than he thought and decided to use it instead of his old black Cortina which he had scrapped. When he swapped the


plates over “he didn’t stop to think." He could have got a refund on the licence from his old car and would have been able to transfer his insurance from the old car to the new. His actions were “ naive and stupid and he acted out of charac­ ter because he was too lazy to go through the proper channels,” added Mr Harrison.

Good showing from locals


CLITHEROE’S three national standard swim­ mers faced their toughest opposition ever when they competed in the Grand Prix Gala held at Leicester


last weekend. The Great Britain squad,


recently returned from the World Championships in Aust­ ralia, were competing and a new world record for the 200m short-course breaststroke was


set by Nick Gillingham. Against such top class opposi­


tion, the Clitheroe swimmers really excelled themselves. Emma Lang, now a boarder at Millfield School in Somerset and swimming in their squad, came first in the 13/14 years girls 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley. Emma was recently selected


for the Great Britain youth squad and is a very bright pros­


pect for the future. Tracey Gee swam well to fin­


ish seventh in the 50m ladies’ freestyle and Peter Jones, fac­ ing tough opposition from inter­ national swimmers, including the British backstroke cham- jion, did well to finish 10th in ,he 100m backstroke and sixth


in the 50m event. Following the success of

Leaders beaten


Clitheroe Ladies 4, Nab Wood Ladies 0


CLITHEROE bounced back from last week’s defeat at the hands of Manchester City, to record a creditable win


over the league leaders. A good opening 20 minutes


from Clitheroe saw some fine attempts at goal, particularly from Feather, Swarbrick and


O’Brien. Nab Wood came back into the . . .


game anti Vickers, in goal for Clitheroe, made some good saves. However, the scoreline was still goalless at half-time. Ten minutes into the second


half, Clitheroe opened the scor­ ing with a well-taken goal by Hughes. Again, there were good attacks and saves at both ends. On 83 minutes, a corner from McLeod found Swarbrick, who headed home to make it 2-0. Two minutes later, substitute Ralph took a comer kick which Nab Wood cleared, but only as far as Ralph, who aimed for goal and claimed number three fol­


lowing a deflection. The fourth was scored by


Parker with just a minute to go. to round off a fine victory.
