traditional hostelries. The ensuing party

HAVING moved to Clitheroe from their Stafford­ shire public house and home, John and Caroline have already built up a fine reputation as licens­ ees within Sabre Taverns.


Sabre leases pubs and hotels nationwide and


managers benefit on performance from their efforts and commitment, which are monitored on a quarterly basis throughout the year by the com­ pany’s experienced office support team. When John and Caroline took over the Starkie


Arms ten weeks ago, they felt that the Clitheroe pub needed a boost. They set to work and now it stands proudly at the top of the Sabre Taverns league — being rewarded for large increases in turnover and for the overall atmosphere they have


cated efforts to re-establish the Starkie Arms Hotel as the place to be for the people of Clitheroe.


The couple are on the look-out for pool and darts players to represent the pub in both the Clitheroe


and District Winter Pool League and the equiva­ lent darts league. A brand new pool table h:ts just been installed


and a pool knockout competition, open to mem­ bers of the public, is being held on September 5th, with a cash prize for the winner.


_ An in-house quiz league will soon be starting on Sunday nights, offering a major cash or holiday prize for the winner.
