T H E R E wa s an o v e r w h e l m i n g response to Roefield Le isu re C en tre ’ s combined fitness and


fun day on Sunday. With over C50 children


bringing their parents and grandparents to the


Family Fun Day, where the accent was on taking part, toddlers all the way up to big kids took over the centre in Edisford Road. At the same time, the official launch o f the


scheme to bring exercise on prescription to the Ribble Valley took off in style.


Fitness for Life is an alliance between the bor­


ough council, East Lan­ cashire Health Authority and Roefield. It is aimed at those patients who have been away from regular exercise for some time.


During the day, adults


took advantage of mini fitness assessments, hav­ ing stamina tests and their blood pressure checked, and seeking general health advice. There was a superb


end to the day when 200 schoolchildren took part in a junior Gladiators event, which Roefield manager Tony Rodia said had the place in an


uproar. Mr Rodia now expects


to hold a fun day on a regular basis.


. \n our picture are both


Clitheroe and Ribble Valley Mayors, testing their stamina, and mem­ bers of Roefield staff.


Giving the shirts of f


their backs! STAFF at the Clitheroe office of the Skipton Build­ ing Society have literally


fiven the shirts off their


acks for charity. The Market Place office


staff have joined with 68 other Skipton branches throughout the country to donate their uniforms to a Romanian hospital.

LANGHO •


New head The new headteacher of


Thorneyholme RC School is mother of two Mrs Elaine Richards. Mrs Richards, from


Clayton-le-Moors, was previously deputy head of Sacred Heart RC School, Church. Her move to Dunsop


Bridge is a far cry from her previous post where


there were 250 children in the main school and a large nursery unit. She


is already


thoroughly enjoying her new role and says she was attracted to the position clue to it being a much supported school with good community values. Her own children, aged


12 and 14, are pupils at St Augustine’s KC High School, Biilington.

Welcome At the first meeting of


1996 the president of Bil- lington and Langho WI, Mrs Meryl Ibbotson, wel­ comed members and wished everyone a happy New Year. Speaker Mr Barry S.


Barlow was a uniformed officer of HM Customs and Excise, the oldest revenue


department in the UK. His aim was to make us all aware of the modern drug scene. Mrs Joan Cottam expressed thanks. A competition for the


most unusual Christmas card was won by Mrs Doris Garratt and raffle winner was Mrs Margaret Walker-Smith. Birthday flowers were presented to


Mrs Marion Fogg. On Wednesday at 2 p.m.


members are invited to sew patchwork squares and enjoy a social get-together at Langho Community Centre.

Magical journey proves a delight


CLITHEROE Naturalists were taken on a Scottish


journey in a slide show given by Mrs Madge Nut­ ter at the library.


Starting with a picture


of Hadrian’s Wall, the slides covered several


journeys made over the years. On the east coast in East Lanark, there were pictures of the fine build­ ings of Robert Owen’s co­ operative factory, built in 1815.


Loch Lomond featured


with slides o f water, mountains and woodland tracks, then the route led on to Glencoe through Rannock Moor and down to Loch Leven. The west coast lochs of Knoidart and Nevis were also shown.


On the way to Mull


there were shots of distant Ben Nevis. Tobermory with its colourful harbour and h ou se s sh ow ed unspoilt buildings and landscape in harmony. Iona itself was a high point of the tour. The evening ended with


pictures taken from fur­ ther north, including the classic view o f Eilean Donan Castle. The moun­ tains of Skye were dra­ matic in mist and the dis­ tant Outer Hebrides could be seen in silhouette. Mr Don Lloyd thanked


the speaker. The next lec­ ture at the library is on January 25th at 7-30 p.m. when Mr Ron Jackson talks on “Walking through the Seasons” .

NO TRUTH IN LOTTERY


RUMOURS RUMOURS that a Ribble Valley man was the recipi­ ent of £14m. in the recent biggest-ever lottery jack­


pot were strenuously den­ ied this week. The fa rm e r , whose


name was being repeated throughout the area, had b.een contacted by several newspapers and, asking the “Advertiser” not to name him, said he has not won so much as £10 to date.


Rumours that the same


person had been celebrat­ ing by buying drinks for customers at Wadding- ton’s Moorcock Inn were also denied by the hotel’s proprietor.

to open TH E police are due to open an office in Whalley next Wednesday, as part


cess Street and will act as a base for two community officers, PC Derek Brown­ less and PC Tony Waish. Insp. Carole Entwistle,


of Clitheroe police, said: “ I t is a police office to


replace the old station which is no longer viable. “The main aim of open­


ing the office is to ensure th a t th e com m u n ity officers are in the village on a permanent basis.” The office will not be


open 24 hours a day, because the officers will on

telephone, with a direct line to the police at Colne, on the wall outside the station and public sur­ geries are planned. Insp Entwistle added:


“ I hope to start holding surgeries and would like to hear from the public as to th e h o u r s o f su ch surgeries.” Anyone wanting to sug­


gest hours for the sur­ geries, can contact Insp E n tw is t le on 01282 863161.


Market rent rises were expected


MARKET traders are phi­ losophical about Ribble


Valley Council’s proposal to increase charges for standing on Clitheroe’s three-day market. Those who spoke to the “Advertiser and Times”


expected the increases, which were determined by a meeting of the Environ­ mental and Social Services Committee. Considerable detailed


discussion has taken place between the council and representatives o f the


market traders, concern­ ing the new rents, and five options were put before councillors. T h e y d e c id e d to


increase the rents, which will take effect from April 1st, as follows: cabins from £20.86 per week (Thurs­ day free) to £32 per week (Tuesday and Saturday £12.50 each, Thursday £7); stalls from £8.87 per day (Thursday £5) to £10 per day (Thursday £5); pitches from £6.50 per day (Thurs­ day £5) to £7.50per day (Thursday £5); flea market
