cil proposes to demolish part of the existing hall, add'on to the remainder to make a bigger one with first floor rooms, and createi a


place inside and additional


rooms. The planning officers'


report says that the remod­ elling is seen as suitable, and will help maintain the


church's use as a facility w i th in th e community. The principle idea was to


bring the complex up to modern standards, in line with the approach of other churches in the borough. There would be better dia- bled access, new stairs, creche facilities, more gen­ erous circulation areas, and improved kitchen and toilet facilities. The report emphasises


Change round on board of governors


THE chairman and vice- chairman of governors at a Clitheroe school have


changed places. Mr Bert Jones has moved


to vice-chairman at Edis- ford County Primary School, Clitheroe, and his former deputy, Mr Roland Hailwood, has moved up to the chairman's post. Mr Jones, a long-serving

written that the proposal is fundamentally flawed, say­ ing that any development at the church should be sin­ gle storey and at the rear. "We feel th a t the pro­


that the visual effect will not be as detrimental as indicated. The extension will be visible only from close up, and even then the large vertical tower will still be very much dominant: "Any other options for an

would be very difficult to implement," says the report. The church is a Grade II


listed building dating from 1839. Officials will need to obtain permission from the church authorities for the work, once it has been passed by the council.


Camera club sees


the best of the year LAST week's meeting of the Ribblesdale Camera Club

Limits on flat occupation


A FLAT and office should be allowed over the Pendle Antiques' premises in Sab- den, say council officials. But they are recom­


mending tonight's meeting of the Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council Planning and Development Committee- to limit the occupation of the Watt Street dwelling to someone who is or was conected with the firm, or a dependant or widow or widower of one. Re-roofing part of the


Menu", Ken Geddes' "Xia Xang Viaduct" and John West's "On the Bridge" were the local successes, togeth­ er with a further print from John West which had been entered by the county organisation in last year's national competition. The commentary, from the Ley- land Club, was very favourable. The previous Sunday saw


tin's College, Lancaster. John West provided the East Lancashire contribu­ tion, talking about the Rib­ blesdale club and similar ones in the area. His contri­ bution was as usual very amusing, making a nice change from some of the more mundane offerings from other area. Slides were shown from a number of club members, again con­ trasting favourably with others shown. Next week, Mike Kielch-

ONE of our local well- known chefs changed kitchens from his usual surro u n d in g s a t th e Spread Eagle Hotel, Sawley, for p o ts and pans on th e Baker Street set a t Granada


Studios. I t was not a case of too


many cooks, but Mr Stephen Doherty and another 23 of thp region's top chefs, superbly mar­ shalled by renowned chef Paul Heathcote, served up stunning signature dishes for 260 guests. The lavish charity dinner raised tens of thousands of pounds for children’s charities across the North West under the banner of Granada's Live Challenge. The chefs came from far


and wide, representing the famous Sharrow Bay, on Ullswater, to the Alderley Edge Hotel, Cheshire, and


two kitchens were specially assembled to cater for then- needs. Mr Doherty, who cooked dinner for 10 people, was ably assisted by his head chef a t the Spread Eagle, Mr Greg Barnes, and his wife, Marjorie, was on hand to serve the food. His menu featured a starter suitable for vegetarians, and was a charlotte of lay­ ered avocado and plum tomatoes with a herb and balsamic vinegar dressing. The main course was a mouthwatering braised rolled shoulder of local lamb with roasted root veg­ etables and rosti potatoes served with a rich red wine sauce. For dessert, Stephen broke the rules and decided to serve a selection of farm­ house cheeses made by local cheesemakers Shorrocks, of Goosnargh, accompanied by home-made bread and biscuits, all displayed on Cheese Detective plates.

SOCIALISE, make new friends and raise funds for charity - does i t sound like an ideal opportunity? Rotaract is an interna­


tional organisation for people aged 18-30, with a branch here in Clitheroe. The Ribble Valley


main building is also pro­ posed, and a. report to councillors says that creat­ ing a dwelling for someone connected with the busi ness is acceptable. Using existing stone walls and a low roof would ensure it would not be readily visible or affect the area of out­ standing natural beauty.
