Warning over licensing for Millennium


GARDEN gates were thrown open in West Bradford to help raise funds for a village


street party. In an "open gardens"


event organised by West Bradford Parish Council


and the village playing fields committee, 17 green­ fingered residents dis­ played their horticultural


talents to visitors, some of whom had travelled from as far afield as Bury. Together with a raffle


and the sale of cream teas


in the village Sunday school, more than £1,000 was raised to fund a Mil­ lennium street party, planned for next July. Inspiration for the event,


came from postmistress Mrs Marilyn Wood, while the catering was undertak­ en by Mrs Vera Sharp and Mrs Jean Bristol. Our top picture shows


held for only the second time in the village's history.

A "MAKE sure you are licensed" warning has gone out from nibble Valley Bor­ ough Council to Millenni­


um event organisers. With the accent on safety,


and the realisation that many people will be drink­ ing freely, the authorities


are expected to be scrupu­ lous about licensing require- •,


ments. These apply to public


entertainment and gather­ ings as well as to serving drinks, and can be complex. There have also been changes in recent years. The council knows that events are planned in at least some Ribble Valley villages and is happy to give advice about these or anything else on_: 01200 452411.

Breeze keeps walkers refreshed on hottest day of the year


IT turned out to be the hottest day of the year when Clitheroe Ram­ blers visited Calder-


dale. But a refreshing breeze,


awaited the walkers when


they passed over the moor­ lands and reservoirs paths of the White Holme and Warland Drains. Ben Brown led the 13-


flock of Canada Geese was observed at close quarters. The Warland Drain was |


then followed over Turley Holes and Higher House Moor to rejoin the Pennine Way, which was followed to Stoodley Pike where 40 nar­ row, winding steps inside | the tower were climbed in darkness to the highest point of the walk and a fine


; in Todmorden. After a short, steep climb out of the


stro^g group on the twelve- and-a-half-mile walk, start­ ing from the railway station


' town onto the Calderdale Way, the gradient eased as the ascent on to the moor­ land was made at Rake End, from where the walk was to remain continuously over the 1,000ft contour for


: more than eight miles. After passing Basin


Stone, Gaddings Dam was soon reached and the first refreshment stop was made. The Pennine Way was fol­ lowed along the western shores of Warland and Lit­ tle Hazzles reservoirs. Then a permissive path was fol- lowed along the shores of White Holme Reservoir to its northern end, where the lunch stop was taken and a


view point. The heat of the day final­


ly hit the ramblers as they descended down the valley side to London Road and | Mankinholes en route to i the Rochdale Canal, where ice-creams and soft drinks | at Lob Mill provided very i welcome relief. The final ] mile along the canal provid­ ed further interest, with ; some beautiful terraced i gardens on the waterfront | and a boat negotiating the first of the locks a Todmor­ den.
