Tough stand against the Sunday markets is vital


I HAVE been very sur­ prised that you have not received more comments supporting the recent decision to close the car boot sale/Sunday market at Gisburn Auction Mart.


WALMSLEY — REDMAN BENNETT


A horse-drawn landau took Clitheroe bride Miss Sarah Redman Bennett to All Mallows Church, Mit- ton, for her wedding to Mr David Walmsley. The bride, an industrial chemist, is the daughter of


Mrs I‘. H. Bennett, of Sugar I’old House, Higher I bidder, and Mr Graham Redman, of Cliviger. The bridegroom, a veterinary surgeon, is the son of


dents at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Blackburn. Given away by her step-father, Mr Peter Bennett,

Cycling out of triathlon


BODICE have advised the organisers of the annual Ribble Valley Triathlon to .sera)) the cycling element


of the event because of safety fears. The event, on October 10th, which is based around


Clitheroe, will now involve only running and swim­


ming and will be known as a duathlon. This was reported to members of Ribble Valley


Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee by chief commercial services officer Mr John Heap. The event is run in conjunction with Sport Age. He said that the police had expressed concern


about safety aspects and, in view of this, the organ­ isers had felt it advisable to abandon the cycling


section. “You don’t have to be a super athlete to compete


— we want as many competitors as possible," he added.

NO GLUE OR PLASTIC - just beautifully sculptured nails, Tiled and butted to your desired length, and because they are so strong, they are suitable for women in all professions. Due to their natural appearance, nail polish is not always necessary. However if a high gloss finish is preferred, you will find that the polish will last for up to ten days without chipping. Because sculptured nails are so strong, they are suitable for nail biters, which allows the natural nails to grow b e low the extension. When they have grown


to d ie desired length, the extension can then be professionally removed, and then manicured or overlayed.
