PUPILS were eager for extra lessons when “ice-skat­ ing” was on the Sunday timetable at a Clitheroe school. The Friends of Edisford County Primary hired a synthetic rink


and skates for use in the assembly hall as a fund-raising exercise and mums, dads, neighbours and friends were also keen to give it a “go”.

Villager with friendly manner dies aged 69


ONE of the best- known f igur e s in Hurst Green, Mr John Edward Bailey, has


died aged 69. A pupil at the village


school as a boy, Mr Bailey lost his sight completely at the age of 16. But he successfully ran a poultry farm set up for him by his parents and laid out to overcome his blindness. Until recent years, Mr


Bailey always got about the village easily and lived


an active social life — in fact, he met his wife, Laura, when she was working at the Punch


Bowl.She helped him with the farm until it closed, like many small ones, as the industry changed. After­ wards, Mr Bailey spent much of his time at a spe­ cial centre for the blind in Mill Hill, Blackburn.

Renowned for his equa­


walker. He was a regular at the Eagle and Child, in Hurst Green, and helped his wife with her charity work, especially for the Children’s Society. . The couple have been closely connected with St John’s Church, Hurs t Green, and since moving to Clitheroe recently, St Paul’s, Low Moor. The funeral and inter­


ment were at St John’s yesterday, conducted by th e v ic a r s of b o th churches, the Rev. John Birbeck and the Rev. Rodney Nicholson, and St John’s lay reader Mr Geof­ frey Duerden. Addresses were given by Mr and Mrs Bailey’s son, Richard, and family friends Mrs Mar­


daughter as well as his so n , w ife and fo u r grandchildren.
