Town council gives grants to promote environment in local primary schools


FIVE local primary schools are to receive £100 from Clitheroe Town Council to enhance environmen­ tal and artistic aware­


ness among pupils. T h e schools - St


James's C E P r im a r y School, Pendle County Primary School, Edisford County Primary School, St Michael and St John's RC School and Brook- side C ou n ty P r im a r y School wi l l each receive £50 to be used for envi­ ronmental projects, and another £50 for arts and


technology. Pupils and teachers


from all five schools were


recently invited to take part in the M a yo r of Clitheroe, Coun. John McGowan's "at home" ses­ sions, which were organised as a "thank-you” to all the clubs, organisations and schools, who have helped to improve the town in some


.


way. Th e youngsters were


given a talk by the Mayor on the history surrounding the traditions upheld by himself and the town coun­ cil and were presented with copies of R.O. Jones's book­ let "Clitheroe: Yorkshire's Capital in Lancashire " before being given the opportunity to ask ques­


tions. As well as looking at the


mayoral regalia, the chil-


dren were given a talk on the history of the town hall by Coun. Bert Jones and M r Eric Bracewell, who served on both Clitheroe Town Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council. The "at home" sessions

The mayors and may­ oresses of both Burnley and Hyndburn were in attendance, as well as rep­ resentatives from the police, the civic society and the Advertiser and Times's editor, Mr Leigh Morrissey. The Mayor also used the


occasion to present special awards to those who are perhaps not acknowledged for their work in the town. M r Jim Parker, MBE,

Plenty to digest - food - at village’s


BOOKWORMS can digest Shakespeare and homemade cakes at a new


alternative Sabden cafe. M r Chris May has opened


The Mayflower in the Pendle Antiques Centre in Wat t Street and hopes the book shop and cafe combination will attract some interesting


custom. Being a fellow book-lover,


M r M a y understands how important it is to browse for hours and is encouraging his customers to take as long as


they like. "T h e idea to open a cafe


came to me in a flash when I was walking past," he said and added, " I thought by combin­ ing food and books it would give something for everyone." The former Clitheroe youth


worker lives in the village and is so far enjoying combining his passion for cooking with


his love of literature. M r M a y said his wife,


Kathryn, who is a university lecturer in Preston, often comes along to help him out and added: " I have always cooked for the family and have done little bits for other people but this is my first cafe." The father-of-two said busi­


ness had got off to a successful start, but admitted it would be a few years before his two children, Ella (11) and Noah (13), joined in with the wait- ressing and washing-up! (180398/23/9)
