THE unexpected bad weather forced Clith eroe Young Farmers to cancel their arranged talk by a clairvoyant last week. Those members able
to reach Pendleton Vil lage Hall held a busi ness meeting.
TEARS of laughter, rather than Lears of sad ness, were shed last week at the thanksgiv ing service for one of Britain’s best-loved comedians, Les Dawson. For "Clitheroe Advertiser and Times” editorial
assistant .Marcia Morris and her husband, Vic, the occasion proved to be the final opportunity to share a laugh with their old friend. The couple attended as personal guests of the comedian’s family.

The couple first met and became friends with Les 15 years ago, through Mr Morris’s work organising
charity goll tournaments. Describing what was so special about Les, Mr Mor
