There’s no finer place for festive shopping - and there’s plenty of fun into the bargain


— by Mrs Judith Hitchen, president of Clitheroe Chamber of Trade —


CHRISTMAS shopping in Clitheroe is a pleasure not to be missed. We have a marvellous selection of shops, all well stocked for you to have the


very best selection of goods available any­


where. Many visitors tell us that


they enjoy shopping in Clitheroe for its traditional


type of shops, all with their own individuality rather than the bland monotony of many of the large cen­


town and try to enhance it every year with beautiful window displays and Christmas lights. On December 7th and 14th, the chamber will be provid­ ing festive entertainment for you. Bands, choirs, entertainers and cartoon characters will be joining in with the festive spirit. The chamber will be there to show appreciation for your loyal support throughout 1996, while looking forward to being at your service in 1997. May I take this opportuni­


tres. We are very proud of our


ty, on behalf of all the members, to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christ­ mas and a prosperous and healthy New Year.
