ICHATBURN


Parish council A meeting of Chatburn


Parish Council, held in the village hall, began with a discussion on the develop­ ment of a circular walk. Several options were con­ sidered with the most pop­ ular proposal being along the river, in a northerly direction towards Sawley and returning through


Holden's Field. It was pro­ posed to pursue this option and contact local landown­ ers in order to gain their


approval. Other areas of discussion


included the Tarmac pipeline, village gateway signs, expansion of the foot­ ball club and the general maintenance and upkeep of


the village. The next meeting of the


parish council will be on Monday at 7-45 p.m., and this will be preceded by an open meeting in the school


■ hall at 7 p.m. to discuss the provision of a youth shelter.

Rural youth needs An exciting new project


has been set up in Grindle- ton to look at the informa­ tion needs of young people


living in the village. I t is recognised that


young people in rural areas do not have easy access to information which is rele­ vant to them and the pro­ ject is aimed at addressing


this problem. A group of young people,


supported by a youth and community worker is meet­


ing weekly on Mondays


from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Grindleton Methodist Church schoolroom. The group has met on three occasions and is putting together a profile of the vil­ lage and what it has to offer its community to enable the introduction of a youth information system to be


put into operation. The project is a partner­


ship between the Lan­ cashire County Council Youth and Community Ser­ vice and the North West Regional Development


Agency. The group is keen to have


more community support and would like to hear from young people aged 11 and

Treasure hunt On a glorious summer


evening, around 60 young people and adults look part in a walking treasure hunt organised by Mr Brian


Stott, of Newby, and the management committee of Rimington Memorial Insti­


tute. The treasure-seekers fol­


lowed cryptic clues, which led them from Stopper Lane lo Newby and along a side lane, with many stops and starts and frowns of bewilderment. Safely back at the institute, supper awaited - pie and peas for the adults and chips and chicken dippers for the chil­ dren - and there were yet more clues to solve in a


tal)le quiz! A fascinating display of


pliotograplis and memora­ bilia of old Rimington, lent by the local people, aroused groat interest. jThis had been skilfully compiled

dance, Sabden Over 60s were only able to run a domino drive at last Mon­


day's social. Winning hands were

St Nicholas ■ Following the succe^ful


rose queen anniversary weekend, members of St Nicholas's Parish Church are planning their annual Strawberry Tea on Sunday, July 11th, at 3 p.m. The final total from the rose queen weekend was more than £1,400.

Waste paper A waste paper collection


will be held tomorrow by Kibble Valley Council. Old newspapers, magazines,


etc., should be left outside for collection.


Barbecue Tickets are on sale from


committee members and the butcher's for Saturday's Bowling Club barbecue in St Mary's Hall from 7-30


p.m.


Millennium Sabden's Millennium


Committee is folding due to lack of support. An apa­ thetic response to celebra­ tion suggestions coupled with dwindling attendance at meetings has led to the decision to disband. There were just nine


replies to a village-wide ref­ erendum on proposals for


events and only five people were willing to help raise money. The referendum, printed in the parish newsletter, went to 500


homes. Membership of the com­


mittee was supposed to comprise representatives of village organisations and any interested residents. But attendance at meetings has dropped since the ini­ tial interest last year to less than 10 people, despite


extensive advertising. After last week's meet-


ing, committee chairman Mr Frank Goss said it was felt the committee was going nowhere and villagers were completely apathetic towards any Millennium celebrations.


Competition Winners of Sabden


Bowling Club's ladies dou­ bles competition last week­ end were Mrs Margaret Boocock and Mrs Cather­ ine Eaves, who defeated Mrs Audrey Barrett and Mrs Christine Wilson in the final. Losing semi-final­ ists were Mrs Mary Grif­ fiths and Mrs Valerie War- burton, and Mrs Margaret Gill and Mrs Margaret


Wright. The annual Sabwood


Cup, wliich sees teams from Fleetwood and Sabden compete, is on July lOlh. It is organised by Steve and Janine Robinson, of the


White Hart.


Barbecue Sabden Bowling Clu,b is


liolding its annual summer barbecue on Saturday. It will be held in St


Mary's Hall and will include a disco and bar.


Gardening tips Once again, members of


West Bradford Gardening Club were able to appreci­ ate expert advice from the well-known speaker Mr. Peter Foley, of Holden Clough Nurseries, who spoke about and showed slides of hardy perennials. He also remarked on the


changes of planting tech­ niques over the years. Dur­ ing the 'eighties, he said, the trend was to plant in the ground, whereas today container planting was con­ sidered to be more benefi­ cial and convenient. Numerous questions from the members conveyed their interest in the subject. As this was the last meet-


ing before the summer break, members were reminded of the trip to Catforth Gardens on Sun­ day, pick-up point West Bradford Post Office at 12-


15 p.m. The village show will


take place on August 22nd, when it is hoped that mem­ bers will show their exhibits in the gardening section and the results of the onion competition will be


announced. The next meeting will be


on September 30th, when the speaker will be Mr T. Leigh on "Organic Garden­


ing." WHALLEY

Abbey senior citizens' drive in Whalley were as follows. Ladies: Mrs A. Rigby, Mrs E. Charnley, Mrs M. But­ ler (cons). Gents: Mr G. Butler, Mrs G. Walmsley, Mr W. Wright (cons). Dominoes: Mrs S. Baxter, joint 2, Mrs M. Harrison, Mr J. Hartley, Mrs H. Hardy (cons).


Main event Members of Whalley WI


were welcomed by vice- president Mrs Ruth Mans-


ley. The speaker for the


evening was Mr Colin Etherington, of V/halley, who entertained members with much humour with his rendering of favourite Lan­ cashire verse in local dialect. Not only did Mr Etherington recite verse, but he spoke of the Lan­ cashire dialect that should be preserved for the future generation. The words were all strikingly rich and meaningful. The evening was most enjoyable, full of laughs as things of tlie past were remembered. Mrs Mansley ■ thanked Mr Etherington for entertain­ ing his audience so success­ fully. Supper was served by Mrs D. Simpson and Mrs


M. Thorpe. The link delegate to the


IGM at the Royal Albert Hall, London, Mrs Marian Fogg, gave a full report of the meeting, stating that all four resolutions had been passed. She also attended the NFWI Choir Competi­ tion at St John's, Smiths Square, London, and brought along a pro­ gramme of the music per formed at the event along with some interesting pho­ tographs of the guardsinen rehearsing for the Trooping of tlie Colour. Details were given out of an evening trip to Martin More, on July 14th, for a summer soiree. At the autumn council


meeting, to be held at Bolton on September 27th, the Blackburn and Darwen Brass Band will play in place of a speaker and requests were taken for a favourite piece of music.There will be trans

Humorous talk On Monday evening a


gathering of Whalley peo­ ple heard Mr Cliff Astin give a talk and slide show entitled "Why do we call it that?" He demonstrated the humour and peculiarities in street names, house names, family names and much more. It was a very light­ hearted entertaining


evening. Thanks were expressed


by Mr Paul Fitzsimmons who organised the talk to raise funds for his South Africa 2000 expedition.On Monday there will be a bee­ tle drive in Whalley CE School hall starting a 7 p.in. Everyone is invited to join in the fun and laughter and. maybe win a prize. Further details tel. 01254 822694.
