RIBBLE Valley golf ace Kim Rostron is among those who subscribe to the view that every cloud has a silver lining. Whatever disappointment the talented


GOLF SCENE with


Clitheroe GC star may have felt at missing out on the inaugural English Ladies’ Open Interme­ diate Championship was surely assuaged when she heard of her selection for the full England


sidel The 22-year-old plus-three golfer has previously rep­


resented her country at junior and Under-21 level. And now, much to the 'delight of family, friends and


everyone at the Whalley Road club, Kim has been named in the eight-strong England squad for the Home Internationals at Longniddry GC, 13 miles east of Edinburgh, between September ll-13th. While congratulations are in order for Kim, Pendle­ ton-based Kate Egford is “ very disappointed” not to


have earned a national recall. She said: “M y game has been steady this season and I


thought I stood a chance of being selected. I was real­ ly down when I heard I had not been picked. “Work and study commitments have meant I have


not been able to play in as many competitions as other players, and I have also put county before self on a couple of occasions. “While I am very disappointed to miss out I am real­


ly pleased for Kim. She is a good golfer and deserves her elevation to the full England squad.” Kate responded to this snub in impressive fashion,


shooting a record-equalling 69 for the second time at Wilpshire on Tuesday. Kim, winner of the Northern Women’s title for the last


two years, shot rounds of 75 and 71 to finish among the leaders in the 36-hole qualifying element of the English Ladies’ Open Intermediate Championship at Sandiway. In the matchplay knockout she defeated S. Coverley


(Woodsome Hall) 6-4 and K. Stupples (Royal Cinque Ports) 3 and 2 to put herself within striking distance of


George Embley


claiming the title. But, sadly, it was not to be as Kim lost 3 and 1 against


Northcliffe’s Lynn Tupholme in the semifinals, the Brad­ ford golfer then losing 3 and 2 against Rachel Bailey (Whittington Heath) in the final showdown. Kim is currently in action £t Conwy hoping to qualify for


the closing stages of the British Strokeplay Champi­ onship. • Clitheroe’s county ace Stuart Andrew remains top of


the Northern Order of Merit following an impressive weekend. On Saturday he shot 73 and 71 to finish third, two shots behind Fairhaven’s Karl Wallbank, in the Birkdale Goblet at Royal Birkdale. On Sunday the Lancashire star fired 72 and 74 in the


Formby Hare and finished second after a card play-off with Fulford’s J. Miller.


Andrew’s 72-hole score of 290 was a model of consistency


and proved to be the best aggregate return over the two prestigious events. Competition was keen when the elder statesmen of the


Clitheroe club took part in the Seniors’ Championship and Rosebowl. Neil Bray returned 80 gross to win the Seniors’ Champi­ onship by three shots from Alan Wright. And Roy Eaton won the Rosebowl with 87-16-71. Les


Norris (95-23-72) was runner-up and Ron Saville — Mr Captain that is — returned 8411-73 to finish third on the card from Ian Wilkinson (92-19-73) and club president Jimmy James (86-13-73). Keith Panter and Ken Lord won the am-am qualifier, a


fourball, better-ball Sunningdale, on Saturday with 70- 5.6-64.4, Derek McIntyre and Bert Hemingway (71-4.6- 66.4) finishing runners-up on the card from Peter Clayton and Ray Ashley (74-7.4-66.6).


Andrew Walmsley (70-2-68) met with success when


Jimmy James held his President’s Prize and J. South- worth Trophy on Sunday. Stuart Anderson (81-12-69) won Division One on the card from Ted Speak (76-7-69). Greg Dyer (82-1270) was third and Michael Bailey (75-4-71) claimed fourth place on the card from Dennis Kershaw (80-9-71) and David Heesom (75-4-71). Philip Punchard (89-18-71) topped Division Two ahead


of Stephen Dent (90-18-72), John Peel (89-16-73), Bernard Bithell (89-15-74) and George Stoddart (87-13- 74). Bill Brown returned 98-28-70 to win Division Three by


one shot from John Mercer (93-22-71), Richard Watson was third with 99-22-77 and Bryan Hart (103-24-79) fin­ ished fourth. Denis Greenup (75) won the gross prize after a card play­


off with David Heesom. 0 Mytton Fold member Douglas Woodbum returned 91- 21-70 to win the latest medal round by one shot from Brian Johnston (99-28-71) and George Hinchclife (94-23-


71). O Identical rounds of 85-19-66 enabled Whalley member


Dennis Honeyben to total 132 nett and win the Arthur Longworth Trophy by three points from John Heap and John Kitchen. Heap shot 72 and 62 nett and claimed second place on


the card from Kitchen, who returned 66 and 69 to finish in third place. A subsidiary competition held in conjunction with the second round of the Arthur Longworth Trophy was won by Stephen Green (78-15-63) after a card play-off with John Heap (79-16-63). Colin Gould (80-14-66) was third and Brian Cooke claimed fourth place with 76-9-67. 0 Dorothy Dady and Irene Hinks finished four-up on bogey to win Clitheroe ladies’ Professional’s Prize. • Joanne Garstang emerged a comfortable winner of

their homes. Delays in carrying out the repair work on the mill


have meant the borough council has been unable to say the neighbouring flat is safe to live in. The matter came to a head on Tuesday afternoon


when the owner was told he had to carry out the repairs or contractors would be called in to do the


work. Owner Mr Derek Barnes, of Pleasington. Blackburn,


started carrying out the essential repair work on Tues­ day ami the building was due to be inspected today. Mr Duncan Sykora and his wife. Sue, have been


forced to uproot from their Abbey Mews home and are now living in a rented property in Clitheroe with


their 10-month-old son, Callum. Musician Mr Sykora said: “Sue does not want to


move back until the mill is made safe. We were told at first that the mill’s 70ft wall could collapse; how many people want to live opposite a wall with cracks


in it.” “The work that has been earned out is like putting an Elastoplast on something that needs major


surgery.” Family life has been totally disrupted by the fire.


They have also had to cope with Mr Sykora’s 73-year- old father being rushed into an intensive care unit at a Glasgow hospital with peritonitis. Fortunately, he is starting to make a recovery. All their belongings have been moved into the rented house, while repairs are carried out in their flat. Their


insurance company is paying the rent and, if the family has not moved back before September 25th, it will


Ramblers take off to varying venues


RAMBLERS have visited two very different areas during recent weekend walks.


; Bert Wells led a party of 17 walkei-s from a lay-by on the A65, near Kirkby Lonsdale, along the Lan­ caster Canal, passing Far- leton and Holme. ' Coots, ducks and moor­ hens were using the canal as a safe haven and a pro­ tective female swan had chosen its banks to hatch five cygnets. A profusion


of wildflowers had drawn butterflies from far and wide and some o f the


group picked and ate suc­ culent wild raspberries.

promises to be different. Ben Brown has planned a nine-mile linear walk on Monday, along a stretch of the Irw e l l Way, from Rawtenstall to Bury, returning by steam train.

have to decide whether to continue looliiig the bill. Mr Sykora is at the end of his tether. He has made numerous telephone calls to the council and mill owner Mr Barnes in an attempt to speed up the repair work. “ It is so demoralising when you spend so long work­


ing on a place and this happens,” said Mr Sykora. The disused corn mill, built in 1837, has been


re-roofed, but the sticking point has been the wood and slate canopy between the building and Mr Sykora’s


flat. This caught fire and rained slates and burning timber


down on the family as they fled their house. Around 30 fire-fighters worked for two hours to stop flames reaching the flat along the canopy and bring the mill blaze under control. The canopy was classed as unsafe and work started


on the necessary repairs this week. Doors and win­ dows in the mill were also boarded up.


Mr Sykora wants work on the mill’s structure to


be completed before his family moves back in. However, the borough council’s senior surveyor dis­


agrees. Mr Geoff Lawson confirmed structural repair work on the mill was needed, but it was not necessary for the all-clear. The only essential repairs for an all-clear are those


on the canopy. Mr Lawson explained that he would be inspecting the site to see if this work had done. He said: “When this work has been done there


will be repairs to be carried out on the building but the essential area will have been done. It will be all right for Mr Sykora to move back in.” The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times contacted Mr


Barnes, leaving messages on several occlusions, but is still waiting for him to return our calls. Our picture shows the Sykora family at their rented home. (CAT 1575)

disheartened, however, and steadily added to their score with some fine innings from several indi­ viduals. The younger men were a little more athletic in the field and held some good catches, although one or two were dropped. Some good-natured


father and son rivalry was acted out on the field, but finally, after the overs were complete, the score had not matched that of the younger team, who were declared the win-
