SOME 800 pedple crowded into the Rib- ble Valley’s big annual display of Women's Institute skill on Sat-,


urday. Public interest in this


year's event was higher than ever, and the atten­ dance was certainly the ., best in recent times a n d :


possibly ever. Building w o rk.at S t .


Augustine's, Billington, forced a move to the main Clitheroe Royal Grammar School complex in Chat- bum Road, Clitheroe, and everything went well. Good access and car

swept off with many of the main trophies after a few years with little success, and received the Lady Clitheroe Challenge Tro­ phy for the large institute


with most points. ’ Waddington won the


prize for the most improved' number' of* points, with a remarkable ; 448 per cent rise on last :


year. No one could argue •


when show chairman Mrs Pamela Jolley declared that women who were not;,,, in an in s t i tu te 'd id not : know what they were miss- ing.But she minced no words about the need to , try hard agains t such strong competition. "A few kicks up the backside are sometimes needed," she


said. They had been told their


standards were too high, but they were very proud


of them. Although the weather


affected the qu ality in some of the classes, every­


th in g else achieved the • usual remarkable standard ’ of ingenuity and skill.

to keep the admission fee to the show as low as possi - ble. In fact, they are careful, to retain cash reserves to cover any loss, as happened last year. "We have hire charges to


pay not just for the build­ ing but for tables, stands and some other equip­ ment," points ou t Mrs Kramrisch. "But the way this show helps encourage all our members and shows everyone else what we can do is well worth all the


effort." .Simonstone easily
