A £500 >cheme to encour­ age schools to improve the local environment and wipe out grime spots has


A meeting of Sabden


1'arish Council was told that the two vi l lage schools were keen to be involved in environmental and planting schemes at the request of the council. The village won third


place in the most improved category of the North West in Bloom competition and the prize was £200. At the monthly meeting


in the Methodist Hall, par­ ish councillors also agreed


to the return of the recy­ cling centre in tin* village


in the near future. They turned down an


invitation to have a multi- frames wall situated in the


village, however, after hearing that it would be a


permanent concrete struc­ ture and would need to be sited in a large hail. The council decided to


send a let ter of thanks to Kibble Valley Council for the speedy and efficient way the tidy-up operation had been carried out on Fondle after Hallowe’en


night. A pile of stones and rub­


ble left by contractors working in Stubbins Lane several weeks aim has still not been removed and councillors agreed to con­ tact the firm involved. Concern was expressed a bo u t the n u min* r of


unaul horised vehicles using the newly-repaired village car park. The coun­ cil is to liaise with tin- police about the matter. The next meeting is a

of them as choirmaster,


served on the parich church council and was always involved in church


and village life. He was on the commit­


tee of the Horticultural Societv for many years


and was a member of the Age Concern Leisure Group. He also formed the Age Concern choir, which had just begun rehearsals


fo r i ts C h r i s tm a s entertainment. He was a keen walker


and led the Age Concern walking group on its fort­


nightly outings. It was while the group were walking on Pendle last Wednesday that Mr Brit­ cliffe collapsed.


He died two days later


in hospital and a requiem Mass is taking place at 10- 30 a.m. today in St Nicholas’s Church. His wife said that he


loved walking, particularly on Pendle, and, although


78, it was only two years ago that he walked More- cambc Bay. “ He loved village life


and was involved in so many things. In all our years together I never


heard him say a wrong word about anybody. He was that type of person,” she said. Mr Britcliffe was born


and brought up in Sabden and worked in one of the cotton mills before joining the former Co-op grocers in the village. He and his wife took over the village shop in Whalley Road in 1901 and retired 20 years later. At the time, he said he

But good fellowship abounds


RECENT presidents of the Old Clitheronians’ Association have had the spotlight of their big night


cruelly blacked out. Last year’s recipient (if Clitheroe


Royal Grammar School old boys' major honour, Mr Peter Shannon, was over­ come by Beijing flu and could not attend the annual dinner, at which he was to officially take up his post. Unfortunately, he was absent in hand­


ing over the post at Friday's event as well, for in the morning he was taken into hospital for tests on a suspected heart attack. This year's incoming president, Mr Ian


Parsons, received a warm welcome and gave a most entertaining speech. He was faithful to his opening words, when lie quoted the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes: "Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words." The dentist, who practises in Cumbria


and whose father was secretary of the association before the last war. pulled out a few anecdotes to describe teachers and friends who helped him fill in the time at school during the early Iliads. There was also a tumultuous welcome afforded to Mr Roy Adams, very defini­

progress report on the school and the chairman, Mr Barrie Lancaster, deli­ vered the evening's annual entertaining appetiser. The annual reunion dinner, which was


held at the Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, has become a pilgrimage for around 200


old boys. This year's event attracted 175, including 3d who entered the school about 19-13. l)r Ian Wriglcv organised this group,


but Mr John Howard, who travelled from Vancouver, Canada, especially to attend, received a special mention for his efforts. Mr Tom Rushton, who entered the


school in 191b, was the most experienced


old hoy to take the floor during the tra­ ditional roll call. At the AG.M before the dinner, a


minute’s silence was observed for two late and sadly missed members, Arthur


Whiteside and Hector Gilleard. Our picture shows some of the old


boys with four uf tile school's present contingent, including the head girl.
