Pub horse under starter's orders again by TimProcter


CHARITY fund-rais­ ing racehorse Swan at Whalley has been given a last chance to pre­ serve his racing career


by the Jockey Club. Owner Capt. Harry Barlow


successfully appealed to rac­ ing’s controlling body after


the gelding was automati­ cally banned following three refusals to go into starting


stalls. Due to the possible problems of


making a personal appearance before the London hearing in the present bomb warning climate, Capt. Barlow was allowed to write a letter supporting the appeal. And it succeeded in win­ ning a last chance. Now the horse, named after its owner’s pub, the Swan Hotel in


Whalley, is set to run in a big race


at Chester on Thursday. He is nationally known after an appearance on television’s “How Do They Do That” in November, and has raised thousands of pounds for charity. The Derian House children’s hospice at Chor- ley has especially benefited, and the horse is being "leased” out on two racing days as a raffle prize. In his appeal submission, Capt. Barlow suggested that the prob­


lem was triggered after a horse ripped its saddle off by going


under the stalls only a short dis­ tance from Swan at Whalley last


July. He sent the gelding to famous


problem solver Richard Maxwell for five weeks in August, and his fear appeared to have been con­ quered. But months elapsed, the


horse moved stables and now, wrote Capt. Barlow, “I realise I


should have sent him to Richard Maxwell for a refresher course.” This is now being done, he went


on, and Richard Maxwell believes that he will have no diffi­

culty in sorting the problem out


again. “We would be honoured if you


could please give Swan at Whal­ ley another chance to race again when he returns from Richard Maxwell and passes his stall test,” concluded the letter. Capt. Barlow told us this week


that he felt the issue had been very fairly dealt with by the Jockey Club. “I am hopeful the horse will be all right at Chester and he will be raising a lot more charity funds,” he said.

And there is a presentation for loyal Jean


by Sheila Nixon


THE celebrations to mark a 25th anniver­ sary went with a splash for receptionist Mrs


Kenilworth Drive, Clith- eroe, has worked at Rib­ blesdale Pool since it first opened on April 28th, 1972, and a poolside presentation was held to mark the mile­ stone. She is the only member of


Jean Salisbury. For Mrs Salisbury, of

the 20-strong staff to have worked there from the start and the presentation was


held during a special week­ end of activities organised by Ribble Valley Council to celebrate the pool’s anniversary. Mrs Salisbury worked as a


■ because there was nowhere for them to learn. Having this pool has changed all


duties to receive a bouquet of flowers and a token for a meal for two at the Buck Inn, Grindleton, from the Ribble Valley Mayor and Consort, Coun. Eileen Lowe and her husband, Raymond. Mrs Salisbury told the Advertiser and Times that during her years in the job she had been pleased to see the number of keen swim­ mers rapidly increase, adding: "When I first came here, there were many adults and children who just couldn’t swim, simply


that.” The council lined up a pro­


fulltime lifeguard for 11 years and then became a part-time receptionist/ca-


shier. She took time off from her

Calling foul on local pet patrols


AN angry Clitheroe resident has appealed to pet owners to aban­ don their “dawn and


gramme of water sports and fun events, including a canoe session with instruc­ tions from Clitheroe Scout and Guide Canoe Club, and a splash disco — the high­ light of the weekend attracting more than 80


youngsters.


Privatisation - of the public loo


FORMER public toilets near Clitheroe’s mar­ ket development are to be converted into pri­ vate to ile ts for the use of patrons of the


adjoining cafe. Members of Ribble Valley Borough Council s Plan­ ning and Development Committee heard that one let­ ter of objection to the proposal had been received. Councillors heard that the building was being leased


to a new private operator and had undergone quite a lot of restoration work. The applicants wished to fur­ ther develop the facility by altering the former public conveniences for use privately by the cafe facility, with access via the cafe. New toilets were already available at the entrance to the market from Station Road. A proposal to alter the entrance to the cafe by pro­


viding a raised seating area enclosed by a low wall with decorative railings was also approved.


THE Clitheroe woman whose ambition


is to throw the biggest tea party the country has ever seen has moved one stage nearer realising her plan—thanks to a local car dealer’s. The Vauxhall Vantage Garage has told


ties in Henthom Park. Mrs Taylor said that, as well as the Vaux­


hall Vantage Garage’s generous offer, which might include a surprise promotion on the day, a number of raffle prizes had been donated already, but more were need-


Mrs Beryl Taylor, of Central Avenue, tha t the company will provide some sponsorship for the big brew-up by pro­ viding all the cups, paper plates, servi­


ettes and balloons. Mrs Taylor’s plan is to line both sides of Henthom Avenue on June 28th with peo­


ple, a mile and a half of supporters enjoy­ ing the cup that cheers and raising money for the charity Mencap, followed by a party with a range of fund-raising activi­


ed.She said: “I need some more people to offer their kettles on the day to make the brews of tea to make sure the biggest tea party in the country is a success. “What I am still in uigent need of is some


insurance sponsorship or help with the cost of the event to allow us to go ahead


with the children’s activities.” Anyone who can offer help for Mrs Tay­


lor’s tremendous tea party can contact her on 01200 428077. (CAT 8353)

dusk patrols”. Mrs Barbara Bradshaw, of Bawdlands, says there is a serious problem of dog foul­ ing in her area, adding: “There are piles of excre­ ment outside my house every day — it’s disgrace­ ful.” . She said the culprits were known by other residents as the “dawn and dusk patrols” because of the time of day they exercised their pets. It was difficult to catch them in the act, because they purposely avoided periods when other people were out and about, she explained. Mrs Bradshaw, who approached the Advertiser and Times to help put her message across, declared: “I want to appeal to these people to stop bringing their dogs to Bawdlands or to arm themselves with poop-a-scoops. I know of some dog owners in Clitheroe who already clear up after their own pets and I would like the dawn and dusk patrols visiting Bawd­ lands to do the same.” She warned that the cul­
