Newcomers ^ make a
prize debut at garden club show
N EW exhibitors gave Clitheroe Garden Club’s annual show a dose of tonic as ten new members carried off 33 prizes in one o f the most successful events of recent years. Newcomer Mr David
Speak achieved best of show with a cauliflower in a year which saw vegeta ble entries up and judges commenting on the quality of produce on display. Club chairman Mr Geoff
Sainsbury said: “ It was wonderful to see so many new exhibitors coming forward, bringing with them such e x c e l le n t entries. It really is very healthy to have some new members picking up the prizes. It keeps competi tion fresh anti standards
up.” Mr Sainsbury was par
ticularly pleased by the comments of one judge, Mr John Green, of Little- borough, who is judging the prestigious Southport show next w eek . Mr Green said that many Clitheroe entries would have been in with a chance of winning there. Mr Sainsbury himself
figured strongly among the prizewinners, collect ing for the second time the R o y a l H o r t icu ltu ra l Society’s Banksian Medal
' for most points in competi tions in the year. Mr Sainsbury said: “You can not enter for two years after you have won it, so I will have another go in 2000. Apart from celebrat ing the millennium, I will be 80 so that will be a good time to retire!” Results were as follows. Trophy Winners
Gregson Bowl for roses, E.

Memorial concert this month
A S P E C IA L concert is set to bring back memories for 120 lucky people in the audience at the end o f this month.
The late John Clayton contributed much to
Scouting and to fund-raising for Derian House Children’s Hospice. His last appearance in public, less than a week before he died, was at a concert by the 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Brass Band — the only band of its kind in the British Isles.
On August 31st, Whalley Village Hall is the
venue for the John Clayton Memorial Concert featuring the Rossendale band. The programme features a wide variety of music, including “ Deep Harmony,” composed
the hospice. The band will also be playing shortly in
Chorley, Stockport and Uamsbottom, and at Hutton Police Headquarters.

McLoughlin, said his client accepted that he should not have driven, but he had been experiencing domestic difficulties and had a tendency to act impulsively when under pressure. McLoughlin had 10 Orievels and four A- levels, lacked nothing in his upbringing and wanted to be a chartered account ant. He did not have a drink problem, but used drink as a reaction to
stress. Mr Bennett said his cli

ing slats for use in domestic fencing panels. Feather edge boards are also a significant product

Uichard Dugdale, employs, on average, nine people and consumes around 5,000 tonnes of timber each year. Some local timber comes from Bowland Forest, Tos-
side and Whitewall, with Keilder, Grizcdale and Ennerdale timber also used. The company has developed a strong presence in
the manufacture of replacement hydraulic hoses for local businesses and keeps fittings and hose in stock — “seldom stumped” is Timbermatie’s apt catehphrase!

© M O B IL E auto electrical services have really grown during the past decade and Keith Clem ent’s Auto Electrical Service is no exception.
First established in 1979 by Mr Clement, business
quickly developed and a garage workshop was set up in 1981 at Pendle Trading Estate as a back-up for
the mobile service. The company continued to grow and, in 1988, took
over the staff and stock of B. Dootson Auto Electri cal and Diesel Service. This led to the purchase of larger premises on the same estate in 1989, the site of the present business.
The company has built up a reputation for quality
and reliability and now provides a service in auto electrical and diesel vehicle repairs, unit repairs and sales, which is carried out by a reliable team of qualified ami trainee staff.
The company’s premises are extensive and well
situated with good access and offers a fleet of service vans for breakdowns, on site work and parts delivery.
