carols were sung and four items were sung by the choir, accompanied by organist Mrs Adele Plod­ ding. Christa McFall was welcomed into the choir after her six months pro­ bation and presented with


•her surplice by choir mis­ t r e s s M rs K i r s t e e n Walmsley. In the evening the choir


were out once again, carol singing in Twiston. Pro­


ceeds from their singing this year are being divided between choir funds and C a n c e r R e s e a r c h in memory of their late choir mistress, Mrs E. Scott.

service, held at Downham


Parish Church, was con­ ducted by Canon Len Cragg with visiting organ­ ist Mr Neil Shepherd and his junior choir. All the children were


given a Christingle orange and everyone enjoyed the lovely singing. The collec­ tion taken at the service will be donated to the Children’s Society.

from the Ribble Valley Council spent a day at the s ite and took aw ay a
