THE new Mayor of the Ribble Valley began her year of office by casting her vote — in a ballot with a difference.


Coun. Eileen Lowe, of Sabdcn, was invited to vote


for her favourite exhibit in an embroidery competi­ tion and, if many members of the public follow suit,


then the Mayor’s charity fund should be given a tre­ mendous boost.


Some talented embroiderers from across the Ribble


Valley and beyond are exhibiting their work at the restaurant and embroidery shop at The Old Toll House, Parson Lane, Clitheroe, and a ballot box on loan from the borough council has been placed there by owners Gordon and Tessa Halfpenny so^that visi­ tors can vote for which work they prefer. Visitors are charged 20p each for their votes and, when the exhi­


* bition closes next month, the proceeds will be pre­


sented to the Mayor. Mrs Halfpenny said that some of East Lancashire s


most accomplished embroiderers had entered the contest.


The 53 exhibits include beautiful examples of black work on cream fabric by Nelson artist Jack Robinson.


• ,


There are also many more intricate pictures and designs illustrating various techniques, including cross stitch, machine embroidery, stump work, which forms padded pictures, and French tapestry work


based on medieval techniques. The Leicester-based BMS embroidery company is


to donate a prize to the winner and will be be award ing smaller prizes to every other exhibitor. . Tho picture shows the Mayor with organisers, visi­ tors and exhibitors.
