On their bikes to raise £2,500 for charity
9-.
KEEN cyclists from a Clitheroe factory hit the road for a sponsored marathon and clocked up £2,500 for a donor transplant service that has helped a colleague.
The big-hearted fund-raisers at MM Neotechnic, who „ave held three previous rides for various charities,
named the Kidney Donor Appeal this time, after learn ing of clerical worker Michael Broomhead’s successful transplant operation.

ordered. Michael Harry Alston
(47), of Hayhurst Street, has also to remain indoors between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. and must not enter any licensed premises, which includes off licences and supermarkets as well as public houses and clubs.
He has been charged
with making threatening telephone calls, making threats to kill, disorderly behaviour and breaching bail conditions. I t is expected that some or all of the charges may be replaced by a new one under the new protection a g a in s t harassment legislation.
The case was adjourned for two weeks.
Thieves only get mortice key
THIEVES who broke into a house in Whalley Road Clitheroe, escaped with only a mortice key, valued at £2. The incident took place between 1 p.m. and 6-30 p.m. on August 27th, e n t r y b e in g g a in ed through a ground floor window.
The intruders left the
scene by unlocking a rear door.

support for the charity from among his fellow Parliamentarians.
Mr Evans joined the
riders at the crack of dawn to take on the role of
celebrity starter and Mr Broomhcad was also there to cheer them on.
While 20 super-fit riders
accepted a cnallenge to ride 140 miles to Dum fries, a 14-strong group, not as accustomed to long rides set out on a 60-mile round trip between Clith- e r o e and K i r k b y Lonsdale.
Press operator Philip
Hodgson, one o f the organisers who also rode,
told the Advertiser and Times: “There were a few amusing moments on the trip, with some riders get ting lost in the Lake Dis trict. Luckily we had mobile telephones and our vehicle support team was able to get them back on track.
“By the time we crossed
the border, we were all together again and riding in convoy, with people cheering us along the way.”
The long-distance team
made an overnight stop in Keswick and pedalled for five hours on each of two days.
Mr Hodgson and his fel
low organiser, toolmaker Eamon Boyle, said they
would like to pay a special tribute to those who took part in the shorter ride. Mr Hodgson explained: “Those who went to Dum fries are very experienced cyclists, but the others rarely ride and yet they all finished the distance d e s p i t e v e r y we t weather.”

launched on Clitheroe market car park by Pres ton Community Transport and there were several shoppers eager to take to the saddle for a trip around the town centre. The service, which will
now be available every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 4-30 p.m., provides wheel chairs, scooters and other mobility equipment to those — including the elderly — who experience any kind o f walk ing problem. After the launch, Shop-
mobility spokesman Mike Hill said: “ It has been a cracking day. There were three or four people want ing to take out the scoot ers and we have had loads . of inquries from relatives of disabled or elderly peo ple wanting to know more
about the service.” Pres ton Community Transport is also hoping to set up a dial-a-ride mini-bus ser vice to transport people who cannot get into , town by their owns means. Our picture shows. Ann
