Chance to leave I Rallying to help cancer sufferer your legacy of


I old Millennium


RADIO LANCASHIRE is giving local people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by offering them the chance to take part in the biggest-ever project in the history of radio. In 16 programmes, the


BBC plans to mark the new Millennium with a vivid record of life throughout the 20th Century, which will be broadcast next autumn and into the first few weeks of the year 2000. And BBC Radio Lancashire will be creating its own series of programmes as part of the project, bringing to life the everyday goings-on of local people across Lancashire. Each BBC local radio

station will be making its own series, building into a unique collection of more than 600 programmes and around 15,000 hours of


interviews. All the programmes and


interviews will be deposited in the National Sound Archive at the British Library, where it will be known as the Millennium Memory Bank, and will form an invaluable legacy for future generations. Mr Phil Smith, the pro­


ducer in charge of making the series for BBC Radio Lancashire, is now looking

"We are looking for around 200 people in all — young, middle-aged and I older people, male and female, black and white, rich and poor. We want rec­ ollection, anecdote, joy and sorrow, and impressions of our shared lives as the end i


of the century approaches." He continued: "The key


thing is that they can talk vividly about their lives, over the past 10, 20, 50, or even 100 years, and help us j tell the story of how life has changed in the past 100 years for ordinary people


across Lancashire."

Varied subjects at speakers’ club


THERE was a good attendance at the recent meeting of Clitheroe Speakers' Club, when a var­ ied programme included two prepared speeches by the Clitheroe members on the North Pennine


Area Development Team. Chairman for the evening involved in taking children


was Mr Derrick Holmes. The first speaker, club


president Mrs Ada Garner, chose as her title, "Colours of the Rainbow" and gave a descriptive account of how primary colours are now being treated with toxic dye to produce subtle differ­ ences in shades of colour — but at a cost to the environ-


ment.She wondered if people really wanted all this varia­ tions, when the long-term effect of the pollution could damage both the atmos­


on such an outing. Her speech was packed


with amusing situations. In assessing the speech,


Mrs Penny Ogden referred to the difficult technique of conveying humour to listen­ ers. The speaker's facial expressions, general bon­ homie and choice of a suit­ able theme had ensured a successful outcome, said


Mrs Ogden. After a question session,
