Subject for discussion
THE latest meeting of Clitheroe Speakers' Club had an encourag ing,attendance, with several guests swelling the numbers. Mrs Margaret Banks
gave a thought-provoking speech entitled "The com puter: the future for the voice?" The speech posed the question: is communi cation via the human voice in danger of being made redundant by the continuing development of tlie computer? Mr Stephen Clarke
made a speech which emphasised the benefits of a speakers' club in business. The topics session, present ed by Mr Dennis Ogden, had a different format from the normal, in that mem bers were given a list of topics from which to choose. Mr Stanley Blackburn
and Mrs Dorothy Durham evaluated the speeches and Mrs Gene Homes evaluated the topics session. The gen eral evalautor for the the evening was Mr Derrick Holmes. The next meeting takes
place a t the Low Moor Club on Monday. All are welcome.

County council seeks your views on child care in rural areas
THE Ribble Valley is to be ta rg e te d by L an c a sh ire County Council's newly- launched Rural Childcare Development Project, and the public's views are being so u g h t a b o u t ch ild -ca re provision in the area. The aim is to look at addi
tional childcare and early- years education and to explore the p o ten t ia l for expansion of before and
after-school care. Pre-school childcare develop
ment worker Janet Davies, who is based at Bright Street Day Nursery, Clitheroe, says that for the project to succeed it is vital to hear the views and experiences of parents, carers and providers in the area. She now wants people to write or
telephone her on 01200 429720 with the information.
For example: ® Is there any local provision in
your area? ® How far do you have to travel
to the provision of your choice? q Where, if anywhere, do you
use your nursery grant entitlement
for your four-year-olds? 9 Do you use any pre-school
provision or do you choose to keep your child at home with the family- or use informal care, i.e. family and
friends.

TV soccer replays: the man behind
the idea OVER 60 ladies were I captivated by a speech given by Clitheroe BBC ] TV mogul Mr Brian Cowgill at the Ribbles dale Inner Wheel 13th annual charter dinner at | the Moorcock Inn, Wad-
ddington. They were fascinated to
hear that, as well as being | the producer of the televi sion series "All Creatures Great and Small", Mr Cowgill was the man responsible for introducing action replays to this coun- ' try for the 1966 World Cup finals.
First step towards new lease of life for

Council. Enterprise Proper
ties proposes a technol ogy management cen tre 30 yards square and 20 feet high, with a central glazed feature at the apex and profile sheet metal roofing. Access will be from the A59, with a footpath
into Barrow. Borough officials shared
the concerns of parish councillors about the pro
posed use of cedar cladding for the building - described as perhaps setting a harm ful precedent for future development. The develop ers contend that the timber will weather to a silver grey, blending with the area. However, it is hoped that negotiations backed by a condition that materi al choice is approved by officials will resolve the
point. Another condition

the clubs at Blackburn, Accrington and Padiham saw an easy win for the local enthusiasts in the print section. Judge Mr Gordon Jenkin, of Chorley, gave Ribblesdale’s John West first and second of 60 high-quality prints with "A Walk on the Quiet Side" and "Temptation," both pictures having gained much recent international competition success. Fellow members scored solidly as well, the judge selecting no less than 10 of the club's ration of 15 prints for fur ther consideration and potential placings. High

scorers included Roy Mason, Ken Geddes, Derek Williams and Philip Anforth. Ribblesdale trailed for a
long time in the slide sec tion but finally burst through with good marks from John West, Trevor Marklew, Shirley Rumsay, David Pomfret and Ken Geddes. The team clinched second place, only three marks behind the winners. In the clubroom on Tues
day Dennis Parker ARPS, from Nelson, gave an enjoy able talk called "Jack of All Trades" illustrated by more than 110 fine quality black

and white prints. The theme, developed with great humour, was autobio graphical and concerned Dennis' quest to find a spe cialised style or subject matter for his photography, only to eventually try most things and end up a jack of all trades. Judged by his results, it could be consid ered that he had become a master of all. Certainly his exhibition successes, which he modestly failed to men tion, show tha t the high opinions which Ribblesdale Camera Club members had of the pictures were shared by many eminent judges.
