International The pupils o f the village


For bonfire ClKitlim-n will have a limi­


tin' anil firework display this year, thanks to an enterpris- mg young villager. Sharon Wliipn is deter-


mined to help Chatburn vil­ lage committee stage the event, after villagers had to miss out on festivities last year. She has taken it upon herself to raise money to help


provide a firework display for the village. On Sunday afternoon, vil­

down. with Mrs Thompson, of Blackburn, in attendance as caller and a supper of hot-pot and peas following the danc­ ing. Organisers attributed its


resounding success to the fact that Christ Church and the Methodist Chapel had com­ bined forces to organise the event. I’ lans are now being made for future combined ventures, which it is hoped will be just as successful.
