It’s a bargain on the buses
CHRISTMAS has come early this year for bus travellers in the Ribble Valley with Ribble Buses reducing fares as much as 20% on journeys between Clitheroe, Blackburn and Bolton. The bid to regenerate trade means a saving of
up to 50p on some journeys along the 225 route. The day return fare on the half-hourly service from Clitheroe to Blackburn, for example, will cost 50p less.
Network manager Mr Paul De Santis said: We .
hope that these considerable reductions will entice people to travel more often, therefore making more trips to the shops and helping in some small way to give a boost to the local economy.” Details of the route and new fares are available
from the company’s Clitheroe olfice (Clitheroe 23028).

The disco itself was
also a first for the club, in that half the music was modern and half
older tunes. The eve ning also included a prize bingo and raffle. Lady darts players
