Camera club is off on trail of badgers


with Brian


MEMBERS of Ribblesdale Camera Club were pleased to welcome back old friend ]\£r Brian Unsworth, of Burnley, whose talk, “Follow the Badger Trail”, was of his usual high standard of natural history photography. He showed the kind of


secluded woodland with a sandy soil favoured by badgers and the trails they leave in the snow and the scratches le ft on trees from their sharp


claws. Damaged wasp nests, the


grubs being much favoured by the animals,


and balls of discarded bedding were other strong


clues. One hour after sunset is

WATKINS — TEMPLEMAN


Mexico was the honeymoon destination chosen by Mr Trevor Watkins and Miss Caroline Templeman, work col­ leagues at Ultraframe, following their wedding at


Clitheroe Parish Church.


His bride, who was given away by her father, is the daughter of Mr and Mrs P. Dewhurst, of West View,


Clitheroe. . ,


She chose a halter neck gown made of ivory Thai silk, the collar of which was decorated with pearls. She completed her ensemble with full-length gloves and a


hand-tied bouquet of roses, lilies and orchids. She was attended by chief bridesmaid Miss Tracy Walm- sley and Miss Julie Allerton, who also wore halter neck dresses but in burgundy silk, complemented with long- length gloves. They carried bouquets similar to the


bride's. The best man was Mr Paul Wilson and the groomsmen

THE French Circle of Ribblesdale has laun­ ched an interesting autumn and winter programme for its 50- strong membership drawn from all over


East Lancashire. Several officers in the

group are native French speakers and meetings are conducted mainly in French although those with only a little knowl­ edge of the language need not feel excluded, say the

the best time to photo­ graph badgers and Ids tech­ nique is to set up a camera and two flash guns about 14 feet from the sett. A seat is constructed up a nearby tree to observe the action and when to take pho­ tographs by remote con­

The chair­ man remarked in his clos­ ing words how lucky the club was to get such superb lecturers and how much the club had learned about the way of life of these rather shy creatures. , A new idea this year has been to invite a number of leading dub photographers and highly successful pro­ fessionals from the North- West area to contribute to an exhibition of prints for the Chatburn club room wall. Last month David Marsh FRPS from Lytham showed 12 prints that had'nearly as much colour on the back from major exhibition accep­ tance certificates as had the photographs on the

the privilege of viewing portraits by Ian Aldcroft ARPS, of Chorley, again a very successful exhibitor. The theme of the current exhibition is sometimes a little controversial and thought-provoking. Some of the prints could be put into the glamour category, except that the surround­ ings were often derelict mills and factory buildings. This juxtaposition of frag­ ile female beauty and industrial ugliness raises uncomfortable questions about our perceptions and the way we categorise pho- tographic subjects. An exclusive exhibition well worth seeing. Next week is the judging


Artistic skills of women go on display


TWO Ribble Valley women whose artistic skills can be


seen on many living room walls are exhibiting in Clitheroe Library through­


out this month. Amanda Payne, of


Grindleton, and Laraine Thompson, of Clitheroe, have a wealth of experi­


ence. Amanda (36), is married


with two children and has lived in Grindleton for the past eight years. After the birth of her son, 11 years ago, she found the time to combine a love of animals and art and started draw­ ing her own dogs and the pets of friends. She favours pastels as a medium and delighted cus­ tomers have returned and recommended , friends, resulting in the growth of her business. Laraine’s interest in art
