Church needs benefactor to buy flagon


THE race is on to find a buyer for a rare pew­ ter flagon, which is the twin of a vessel owned by Gisburn Parish Church.


The Gisburn flagon,


which is dated 1725 ami bears the inscription


Sharing the good news


A SERIES of “ Sunday evening specials” featur­ ing guest speakers are being held by St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, at the


later time of 7-30 p.m. to make them more access­ ible for people on holiday. TTie first will be held on


Sunday, when the speaker will be tlie Rishop of Lan­ caster, tlie lit Rev. Jack Nicholls. The service, which includes popular hymns, will finish by 8-30 p.m., when coffee will lie available in the church. On .July 2(ith, a visiting


music and drama group from Blackburn Parish Church will lead the ser­ vice. Two more Sunday specials arc planned for


August. The events form part of


St Paul’s contribution to the “ Decade of Evange­ lism,” with churches try ing to be more outgoing and welcoming in sharing the good news of the Christian faith.


Concern over


green invasion THE Ribble Valley is being invaded by a form of nature which one local c o u n c i l l o r f in d s disquieting. Coun. Bert Jones (Clith­


eroe) referred at a meet­ ing of the borough coun­ cil’s Public Works and Health Committee to grass and weeds growing in Clitheroe’s streets. He added: “We have a


tree established in Market Place. Whose responsibil­ ity is it to clear these things?” Chief technical officer


Mr Jon Dunn said the situation was currently under consideration.


“ Richard B rugs din. Churchwarden of Gis-


born,” disappeared from the church at the turn of the century, but surfaced last year at a Sotheby’s auction, where it was sold to a pewter expert for £530. The purchaser, Dr.John


Richardson, of the Pew- terers Association, traced the flagon’s origins to St Mary’s and agreed to part with the vessel, because he felt strongly that it should be returned to its proper home. However, a twin to the


historic half-gallon vessel has been found among the collection of a recently deceased pewter expert from North Yorkshire. The family of the man,


who say the flagon lias spent the last 50 years in New Hampshire, in America, have offered the flagon to St .Mary's, but at a price higher than that paid for the first one. The Rev. Jonathan

A CLITHEROE father and daughter have con­ quered the highest peak in ISrilain — hut they arc still climbing towards a £1,000 sponsorship goal. Mr Roger I’ rice, o f


Edisford Road, and his 10-year-old daughter, Samantha, a pupil at St James’ s C E School, climbed Hen Nevis to raise money for the Cys-


tic Fibrosis Trust. Hut after two friends


dropped out unexpec­ tedly, they failed to hit th e ir fu n d -ra is in g ta rg e t. “ We thank all our


friends and relatives who backed us both morally and financially. We’ve raised £050 to date, but I haven’t given up on the £1,000 mark,” said Mr Price, who works for


i - •) • •■ $


Stalwart Dyeing Co. Ltd, Primrose Works. There was, however,


an unexpected oonus — despite clouds, mist and generally unfavourable


conditions, Samantha is now keen to take on more mountains, to the delight of her father. “ She outshone quite a lot of us adults. To know


that a 10-year-old wants to do something con­ structive like this is won­ derful. She’s got the hug now. That point is very clear,” said a proud Mr Price. The pair arc pictured


in T-shirts proclaiming their achievement and on the 1,34-lm summit of Hen N e v is . A n yon e interested in boosting their sponsorship can contact Mr Price (Clith­ eroe 28300).


99 m.p.h. driver


Fine for


A DRIVER caught in a radar speed trap when travelling at 09 m.p.h. was allowed to keep his licence when he appeared before the court at Clitheroe.


Magistrates heard that


Stuart Michael Hart (45), of Harewood Avenue, Simonstone, was travel­ ling in a (50 m.p.h. area on the A59 at the time of the offence.


Hart, w li o p 1 e a d e d


guilty, was fined £250 with £20 costs.


Mr Chris Eddlostone, in


mitigation, said that Hart was employed as general manager of a car firm in York and travelled around 50,000 miles a year, about four times more than the average motorist.


Mr Eddlestone said that


Hart, who was picking up his daughter in Clitheroe,


was driving on a long wide road with no other cars in either direction.


He said it would be


devastating for Hart if he were to lose his licence.


SJ106 Naming new


developments NEW names have been agreed for several housing developments in the Rib ble Valley. The Public Works and


Health Committee decided that Quarry Farm Court will be the name for the new development at Rib­ ble Lane, Cliatburn. Others are: Brambles

links with Gisburn, it would be an interesting


piece to have. We would be pleased to know that it, too, had returned to the parish for which it was made.” Mr Ltimby is inviting


anyone who might be interested in purchasing tlie flagon to contact him on Gisburn 445214 and he will put them in touch with its owner.

Serving food


THE landlord at the Tal­ bot Hotel, Chipping, has received permission to serve food from 3 to 7 p.m. on Sundays, Good Friday and Christmas Day. Magistrates at Clitheroe


Transfer Sessions granted a new supper certificate to Mr Anthony Heath, allow­ ing him to serve food as well as drinks with meals (luring those hours in dining room set apart from the bar.

South needed some luck to make


his contract on this board. He opened one spade, which was doubled by west, and continued


with two spades over cast’s reply of two clubs. The jack of clubs was led,


covered by the queen, king and ace. South took three rounds of trumps and was relieved when both opponents followed suit. Next came the jack of hearts taken by west with the queen. A club followed, on which dummy played low and the 10 held the trick. Cast led a diamond covered


by the jack and the queen and west continued the suit to south’s ace. South led a heart which west unwisely allowed to run to his partner’s king. Poor east! He was helpless and with nothing left but clubs and the master trump, he could only lead to the established seven of clubs in dummy, permitting south to discard his losing diamond. West should have gone up


with the ace of hearts on the second round of the suit and then cashed his winn in g diamond. Winners on Thursday night


were: NS Mr Moulding and Air Blakey, Mr and MrsJ. Pawlicki; EW Mrs Park and Mrs Higson, Mrs Pedder and Mr Greenwood. On Monday night, winners of


the Howell movement were Mr Garner and Mr Capstick, Mr W. Norris and Mr A. Norris, Mrs Park and Mrs Pedder.

Forty years’ safe driving rewarded


FORTY years of driving without an accident — that’s the achievement of Mr Derek Knowles, of Pendle Terrace, Rimington, who received an award from the Guild of Experienced Motorists for his outstanding safety record.


Mr Knowles lias worked for 12 years as a chauf­


feur at Castle Cement, a job which requires him to be on the road every day. But since he passed his driving test, 40 years ago, Mr Knowles has never been in an accident for which he was to blame.


Mr Knowles joined the Guild of Experienced


Motorists when lie got his first licence in 1952. To join tlie guild you must never have had an acci­ dent and, once a member, you must report any accident you are involved in; if you are found to be to blame, the Guild will cease your membership.


Mr Knowles is very proud of his certificate and


hopes that his safety record will remain similarly unblemished in tlie future.


ACCESS TO M


ART SITE


A NEW access point at Clitheroe Auction Mart has been approved to pre­ vent congestion in the car park and on Lincoln Way. Members of the Ribble


Valley Council’s Planning and Development Commit­ tee granted permission, subj e c t to e e r t a i n conditions. These include a require­


ment that parking, man­ oeuvring and loading areas be formally laid out and clearly delineated before creation of the second access point. Other conditions require


the introduction of direc­ tional signs and use of a porous rather than hard­ bound surface to combat problems with surface water run-off.

A honeymoon in Montego Bay, Jamaica, followed the wedding of Julie Anne Dobson and Michele Monaco at St Wilfrid’s Church, Ribchester. ’I’lie bride, a company secretary, is the only daugh­


ter of Mr and Mrs .J. E. Dobson, of Hill Farm, Hurst Green.


The bridegroom, a surveyor, is the only son ol Mr and Mrs A. Monaco, of Royshaw Avenue,

Blackburn. The bride, given away by her father, wore a


gown with a lace diamante bodice and a tulle skirt. She had fresh flowers in her hair and carried a bou­ quet of peach and white roses, carnations and


gypsopliila. In attendance were Fillotnena Monaco, the bride­


groom’s sister, and Nicola Dobson, the bride’s niece.

public have been heartily sick of seeing hordes of people descending on rural England to set up camps, They are uninvited and ^ they are causing great |«l distress.”


He particularly identi- fied the “ new breed of


rural invader” who “cause thousands of pounds worth t.* of damage before they are ^ finally moved on.”


,3 Mr Evans gave his sup- *1


port to a strengthening of .. the existing law, so that it could take hours rather '", than weeks to move trav- “ ellers on and they could be .... barred from returning for a fixed period of time.


> L He said: “ Raves, and '


the like, have pushed pub- lie tolerance to its limits. ';]]] Residents and farmers must be protected from 1 i such groups of people. The "■”] law must be changed to reflect the changing mood ' ’ of the country and the ch an g in g th r e a t to society.” Mr Baldry has given his . ,


assurance that he will be " j ' looking into the matter.


Langho homes plan : is ‘marginally k over the top’


AN application to builcl 42 houses on a section of the Langho Centre nursing home site, Bil- lington, has been deferred, after Ribble Valley ;’J


councillors agreed plans were “marginally over . the top.”


The Planning and Devel-


o p m e n t Co m in i 11 e e decided to delegate the item to director of devel­ opment Mr Philip Bailey for further negotiations with residents of the adja­ cent Ridings Estate, representatives of Lhe nursing home and the (level oiier, Fairclough Homes. “We need to just go back and have another


look at this. What they’re asking is just marginally over the top," said Colin. Chris Holtom (Wilpshire).


Although under Govern­


ment guidelines altera­ tions cannot be made to the density of the scheme, issues such as privacy and off-street parking were still fair game for discus­ sion, Mr Bailey said. The property forms a


section of a site which once cared for epileptics.- Although receivers were called in over Kilncross Ltd, the original purchas­ ers of tlie total area, Fair­ clough Homes, were unaf­ fected. The plans now under consideration were the second phase of the residential development which began with con­ struction of the Ridings Estate, Mr Bailey added. Coun. William Fleming


(Billington) said: “At the end of the day there are going to be residential developments here. I t ’s


just the area that borders on the original devel­ opment, plus the proxim­ ity of the nursing home, that are cause for some concern.”


Ford Fiesta


THIEVES stole a Ford Fiesta from outside a house in Monk Street, Clitheroe, between 12-30 and 7 a.m. on Tuesday. The vehicle, which has the registration number J84 UDP, was valued at £7,000.


Break-in bid


TWO men were arrested while trying to break into a telephone kiosk in Whal­ ley last Thursday. They have been charged and given bail, but must


appear before Clitheroe magistrates next month.


How drivers • can help

signifies a dropped kerb for use by wheelchairs and invalid carriages, hut often drivers are unaware of the significance of the mark and park in the road at the point of access for the ..; handicapped. “ It would help us a-,,

said: “The Clitheroe coat ,, of arms is recorded by the,?.- College of Heralds and'.’,1 enjoys the royal preroga--;-’ tive. 1 am not in favour of. all and sundry being able .; to use it. It is a great priv- ilege to have a coat of;] arms and we should guardj, ours safely.” The meeting agreed to-!
