"Carousel 1999" is to be

Paul Lee is to take over the baton as musical director, while the choreography will again be in the capable hands of Ann Grogan and musical accompanist will be the same person astin 1983, Philip Dobson. The show is to run from

gramme, the late Canon Alan Clark, who successful­ ly revived the society that year, wrote: "So far as young people are con­ cerned, this is an age of jive, twist and shakel I feel that some of their energy and natural creative ability should from time to time be used for other purposes. The modern American musical play affords a good opportunity for them to do just this. In fact, it caters for old and young alike." A quick peep at the 1983

Glorious 12th proves!! an inglorious washdinj as moors stay closed j


THIS season's grouse shooting is proving to be a washout following the abysmal weather with 90 per cent of Ribble Valley grouse moors closed. The poor sport has been attributed


between four and eight shoots a year, with* a season's subscription to a syndicate cosbv ing around £200. • ,


A host of gamekeepers and heather; jjS’;.,- -j)f


to worm diseases prevalent in broods of chicks, which are more susceptible on account of the damp conditions. In addition, breeding numbers are


dependent upon the number of adult birds on the moors; the more adults, the fewer chicks: I t is feared by local game- keepers th a t under-shooting last year may trigger a cyclical decline for next year. British Association for Shooting and


beaters are employed in the spdjt, and] there are several industries such las gum shops and clothing manufacturers whichj benefit from sales as a result^t-it: Th& wholesale value of sales of grouse amounts; to almost £lm. a year.


Despite a particularly vociferdui cam^ ^


paign against grouse shooting by antit.1 blood sports campaigners on account of its, high public profile, one of its biggest pluses points is its benefit to the environment;? according to BASC representatives Moorland used for grouse;


Conservation representatives are con­ cerned that the poor season will have a knock-oi) effect on tourism in the area. Mr Phil Pugh, Ribble Valley BASC rep­


can,be done for this season:.prpuse.arq^ very territorial, you can’t re-release them on to a different moor. Many people will not come to the Ribble Valley for grouse shooting this year, which means they won't stay in local hotels, eat in local restaurants and so on. That inevitably has an impact on the local economy." The grouse season lasts from August


He said: "There, js,nothing more that I j ' -Off


12th to DecemberlOth, although Mr Pugh pointed out that work on the grouse moors is carried out all the year round.-An aver-. age of 450,000 grouse are shot in the UK a season. Each grouse moor will have
