Sporting heritage under threat

The scene was set last winter, w hen the s at e 11 i te channel gained exclu­ sive rigilts to the Cricket World Cup. since when they have added another momen­ tous feather to their cap, in the shape of live TV soccer.

Let’s look behind reason for violence


THERE used to be a time when you could walk through the streets of Clitheroe on your own in the dark and not think anything of it believe me, I used to do it. Now you can’t even drive through the town at night without fear of being attacked in some way. And as for walking through the Castle grounds — even in broad daylight


— forget it! The weirdest thing about this violence is that some young people in


Clitheroe are making the town a dangerous place to be lor other young people. And the most striking thing about the violence and the increasing cases of


this situation for much longer. Action will be taken and, in the end. that action is going to restrict the freedom of those young people who jimt want to hang around in the town — even without any thoughts ot violence. Of course, it’s not enough for the council, the police etc., just to tackle

sizeable population of young people. There is nowhere else for many of them to go at night on a cheap, regular basis — except the streets and the Castle. And with a few cans of beer and a permanent sense ot boredom, it is perhaps possible to understand why violence and vandalism seem so


attractive. Increasing the security around the Castle and putting more police around


the town is clearly an important step towards tackling the problem — but the council also must take responsibility for providing young people with an alternative to the streets, before there can ever he a long-term solu­ tion to the long-term problem.

No time for free time at Trinity


TRINITY Youth Centre has had its usual packed schedule in the past few weeks and, now that summer’s finally here, it has lots of activities to fill your free time.


Berwick Hall, near Carnforth, from June nth to 7th. It was a great success, with both able and disabled people learning a lot from the experience. ’Flu* week­ end was combined with L)J training sessions. People of all ages from the senior club and the 18-plus group learnt how to speak over a microphone and how to put on a professional disco. The 18-plus group is held at Trinity every Monday evening, from 7-30 to 10 p.m., and anyone over 18 is welcome to attend.


©The 18-plus residential weekend took place at


work on Friday nights with the senior youth club. Steve McCambridge has come to Trinity all the way from Scotland, so come down and meet him — and all the other staff — at the Friday night disco from 7-20 to 10 p.m. Another “newcomer" is the youth council, which has been set up to give young people a chance to put their views forward on ways to improve Trin­ ity and Clitheroe itself. The council meets on Wednesday evenings from 7-20 to 9-20 p.m.
