Spring fair proves a top event as cattle classes boost numbers


A MAJOR spring prize show and sale of stock at Gisburn Auction Mart attracted a large crowd. The inclusion of several


cattle classes made it a much bigger event than usual, with the help of sponsorship by Barclays Bank’s agricultural centre in Clitheroe. One of the managers


there, Mr Brian Snowden, gave out some of the prizes and said afterwards: ‘ ‘ W e w e r e v e r y , encouraged by the level of competition. The bank is very pleased to have con­ tributed to the show, which proved that there is


plenty of life in North West agriculture.” The mart as usual attracted farmers from a


wide area, as far away as Northamptonshire and Greater Manchester, as well as from different cor­ ners of the Ribble Valley, C ra v en and P en d le


districts. Barlcays sponsorship


reflects an increasing awareness in the financial world that farming has a good future locally. Banks are showing increasing interest in building up their relationship with all sectors of the agricultural market, suppliers as well as producers. Results:-Best bull under

M EM B E R S o f Downham, Saw- le y and G r in d le ton W om en ’ s Institutes joined forces for the annual Bowland F o r e s t group meeting.


This year it was ho9ted by Grindle­ ton WI, and president Mrs Catherine


Taylor introduced VCO Mrs Jean Entwistle, Mrs Elsie Barker, president of Downham WI; Mrs Joyce Walker,


vice-president of Sawley WI, together with their secretaries, and area leader Mrs Margaret Miller, a valued member of Grindleton WI.


Guest speaker was Mr Cliff Astin, who entertained his audience with a


light-hearted look at faux-pas, mala- propisms and witticisms, entitled “Don’t you wish you hadn’t said that?” He was thanked by Mrs Barker for providing humour, enjoyment and


lauglfcer. rr All thi-ee’ institutes contributed to a


delicious buffet supper and those pres­ ent were pleased to have the oppor­ tunity to chat to members of institutes


other than their own. Following the raffle, members used


their linguistic skills to decipher a cryptic quiz, the answers to which


were the names of Lancashire Federa­ tion WIs. The quiz was won by Mrs Valerie Mewis and her team. Thanks to the Grindleton hosts were


expressed by Mrs Walker. An invitation to members of Sawley


and Grindleton WIs was extended by Mrs Barker to Downham for the group


meeting next year. She expressed her pleasure at the confirmation of the


Bowland Forest group, which provides such an excellent forum for friendship, with participating institutes. Mrs Taylor thanked everyone for


supporting the event and for the invi­ tation to Downham.

hilarious enough, but when the critics actually become involved in the action on the stage and drama and real life become enmeshed, then the action is fast, furious and very confusing! The play ends with both


critics dead, probably, certainly shot, and it' seems as though it has been a set-up for the a c to rs to g e t th^elr revenge, or are the critics really just acting too? Pay your money and. . . . The audience each night was in stitches. Robin


Simmons,. resplendent iii wig, false beard and wheelchair as Magnus Muldoon, or is he? was


brilliant. David Procter and Peter


Cooke as the theatre crit­ ics played their parts extremely well, particu­ la r ly a fte r they both became embroiled in the action on stage.


Anne Lang; as Mrs


Drudge,- the help, was a delight to watch at all times.


Glynn Anderton had a


different part from his usual ones and did it beau­ tifully as .the young Roue. Chris Freeman, alleg­


edly Inspector Hound, enjoyed himself enor­ mously and Julia Procter, as the “anyone-for-tennis” Felicity was a hoot. Particular praise though


must go to Sandra Stan- den, who played the part of the lady of the house, forever waiting for her long-lost husband, but always getting sexually i nv ol ved with new visitors. Facial expressions and


body language we re superb. Congratulations to all


concerned in the produc­ tion, a challenge well met and, as the critics would have said, “a rattling good


night” . Pictured below are,
