“ Many people knew


Stanley while he was based at Low Moor and he visited us on several occa­ sions after the war, the last time in the late ’80s,” said Mrs Smith.


His links with Clitheroe,


however, were marred when the Engineers held a bumper celebration to mark the 50th anniversary

Applauded


A MASTERPIECE of a speech by Mr Gordon Taylor was one of the highlights at the first 199-1 meeting of the Clitheroe Speakers Club. Club president Mrs Margaret Wilkinson wel­


comed members to the meeting, which was chaired by Mrs Freda Driver. The programme also included maiden speeches


by husband and wife new members George and Margaret Giles. Mr Giles outlined the changes he witnessed in


the banking world during his years of service, while Mrs Giles treated members to the mysteries of a day in the life of a check-out controller. Both speeches were applauded. Mr Taylor presented “Great Britain,” which reflected on Britain’s past and expressed his fears


and hope for the future. Mr Chris Carr, Mr Stan Blackburn and Mr Der­


rick Holmes acted as evaluators and Mr Taylor was congratulated on a thoughtful, well-con­ structed and well-delivered speech. Mr Taylor will now receive the Association of


Speakers’ Clubs’ Certificate of Achievement, hav­ ing completed 10 speeches as detailed in the Speakers’ Manual. Mr Kevin Crowther tested the group's ingenu­


ity, with the theme "Christmas.’’ Mr Dennis Ogden, as general evaluator, thanked everyone. Members were urged to attend the district con­


ference on February 18th, to be held at Hartwood Hall, Chorley, when Clitheroe member Mrs Jean Stuttard will represent the North Pennine area in the Speech Evaluation Contest.

lived in the Ribble Val­ ley all her life. After leaving Clitheroe Gram­ mar School, she worked in the “Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times” office, where she met her hus­ band. They were mar­ ried at Clitheroe Parish Church in 1928. The cou­ ple celebrated (it) years of marriage five years ago. Long life is proving to


be a characteristic of the family, as Mr Smithson is due to celebrate his


95th birthday in April. Mrs Smithson believes


the secret to a long life can be put down to the fact that her life has been relatively free of ill­ ness. She explained: "I can honestly say I have never had a serious illness.” Looking back at her


life, Mrs Smithson's ear­ liest memory was miss­ ing the opening of the grammar school, on York Street, in 1915, because her brother and sister were ill. She recalled: “My brother and sister were suffering from mea­ sles, so I was three weeks too late for the opening." The couple plan to

High Court next step for restaurateur


THE sun may have finally set on the Wad- dington Cantonese restaurant which has been at the centre of a licensing wrangle for the past


two weeks. Clitheroe magistrates


granted a protection order for the Sun Inn, Wadding- toll, to Mr Louis Slicker, a


licensee for 23 years. I l l previous proceed­

HARRISON — PEMBERTON


A reception at the Duke of York Hotel, Grindleton, awaited Clitheroe bridegroom Mr David Harrison and his bride, Miss Claire Pemberton, when they were married at St John Southworth Church, Nelson. The bridegroom, the son of Mr and Mrs Harrison,


of Kirkmoor Close, Clitheroe, is an electrical engineer and the bride, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Pember­ ton, of Moore St, Nelson, is a secretary.


The bride, given awav by her father, wore a full- length gown of ivory Swiss tulle with an embroidered bodice, and carried a bouquet of pink roses, lilies, carnations and gypsopliila. Her bridesmaids were Mrs Janet Jones, Mrs Carole Swindells and Miss Maria Edwards. They wore deep


• wine, ballerina length dresses and earned bouquets to match that earned by the bride. Best man was Mr Martyn Pearce and ushers were

protection order and asked that tho bar and toilet area lie cleared up as soon as possible.


this may give the book ail added topical interest. Whether it does remains to be seen, but the inclu­


sion of a chapter on Burn- lev initially seems rather a large leap from the Ribble


Valley. We are then reminded


that the area has links with Towneley Hall, which was regarded as an impor­ tant secret Mass centre, in which priests from York­ shire were received, before being passed to other secret centres in the


Ribble Valley. In the west wing of the


hall there is a picture of Townelev’s race horse, "Kettledrum,” which won


the Derby and provided the Towneley family with sufficient money to build the church at Dunsop Bridge. The wing also con­ tains the chapel, in the entrance of which there are a number of vestments from Whallev Abbey. The book lias chapters


on Whalluy and Clitheroe, Milton and Stonvhurst,


Ribchesler, Slaidburn, Chipping, Samlesbury and Osbaldeston, as well as The Shrine of Our Lady at Fernyhalgh, near Preston. It was written at the


request of members of tile Salford Catholic Truth


Society and others, who


had gone with the society to visit various places of religious interest in the North West.


As some churches are


now normally closed to prevent vandalism and


thefts, the author recom­ mends notifying the parish priest or minister prior to visiting, to ask him to have the building open for

to other ex-sappers. Jamaica honoured him


in 1988 when he was awarded the Badge of Honour for meritorious service to his country.


After his death, hun­


dreds of his own coun­ trymen attended a service


to give thanks for his life, at Meadowbrook United


Church, Kingston, when he was described as "a well-travelled man with a


wealth of experience whose life exemplified dis­ cipline, hard work and concern for excellence.”


Earlier there was a full


military funeral when more than .$10,000 was given in his memory for ex-servicemen’s charities.


He joined the British


Army in 1911, responding to all advertisement in a Jamaican newspaper for trainee engineers. After two years at Low Moor, he saw service in Egypt and Palestine. He returned to Jamaica and after working in


marine engineering at Port Royal for some years rose to the rank of chief


engineer with a Caribbean firm and later became the technical d ire c to r of another company, travel­ ling to a number of coun­ tries in the Caribbean and C en t r a 1 and S o u t h A ill e r i c a s . H e w a s respected for his skill and knowledge of machines and engineering Mr Jar­ rett retired in 1988 to dedicate the rest of his active years to the service of his fellow countrymen and women through the Jamaica Legion.


Your chance to learn the art of


flamenco THE fire and virtuosity of flamenco dancing is arriv­ ing in the Ribble Valley next month, amid a flurry of swishing skirts and foot stomping excitement. The area will host the


prestigious Lancashire Dance Residency, during which Miss Rosario Ser­ rano, a highly respected flamenco dancer, singer and choreographer, will lead residency workshops, accompanied by a flamenco guitarist. Miss Serrano, who hails


from Madrid, studied fla­ menco with Spanish gyp­ sies in Seville. Her perfor­ mances have in the past been described as “breath­ taking and most dramati­ cally effective.” A call will be going out


to gypsy souls across the valley to join Miss Serrano in a* series of flamenco workshops. A spokesman for Miss


Serrano’s dance company, “Duende Flamenco,” said: “Flamenco dance is for all, whether you’re 00 or Hi, have dance experience or not. All you need is a pair of hard soled indoor shoes with two inch heels and a


swishy skirt!" The workshops will be


held in Clitheroe. Billing- ton, Longridgo and Kib- choster. and a special per­ formance by “ Duende Flamenco” will mark the end of the residency, on March 27tli. Further details of tile


workshops and the special performance are available


from Ribble Valley Coun­ cil assistant arts officer Miss Heather Fox (0200 25111).
