Area’s lyoungsters in grip of futuristic ‘Warhammer’game


by Ben Garish


FORGET comput^ games - a fu tu r is t ic war ^ am e with hand-painted figunnes is grip­ ping the mind's ofiRibble Val­ ley youths. N e a r ly 30 eager youngsters


turned up to J. Covgill and Son's newsagents in Clithuoe for the omi­ nous sounding ("Warhammer 40,000" model sojdier and sci-fi vehicle painting conpetition. "Warhammer" ^ d its futuristic


counterpart "Wariammer 40,000," are cult games enjqyed by thousands of enthusiasts up and down the coun­ try.


Practitioners pitch themselves I


against each oth^'r assembling fear- feome armies of Slar Wars-type char­ acters, which the.T each paint individ­ ually along with Mad Max-like com­ bat vehicles.


j An elaborate ®t of rules of engage­ /


ment are adhered to, which would leave even the most fervent dungeons and dragons' enthusiast's head spin-


ning. "It's great fun, because you get to


fight against your mates with your own private army. It is really satisfy­ ing painting your own figures, too," said Joseph Salzar (11), from Clitheroe, a pupil at Ribblesdale High


School. "It's like building your own empire.


You could play it for days," added Andrew Gahan also 11-years-old and


a Ribblesdale pupil. The game, produced by Notting­


ham-based Games Workshop Ltd., has enjoyed much popularity home and abroad, according to sales rep Mr Richard Wilson. "We have about 115 retail stalls throughout the country and around 450 independent retoilers, like Cowgills. There is a magazine for enthusiasts of the game called ‘White Dwarf,’ which sells between 70,000 and 80,000 copies an issue and each one is probably read by three of four


New town band star attrsLction at party


MUSIC by tie recently- formed Clitieroe Town Band was one of the high­ lights whei^ Moorland School, ClithTOe, staged its annual gardei party. Sweet singing by the


school choir, accompanied on the piano by music teacher Mrs Christine Neal, also proved a big hit with


visitors. The eveit, which took


place in the school sports hall and grounds, was organised by the principal, Mrs Muriel Ashcroft, and raised £900 for school funds.


: "I t turned into a very successful day, with many


parents and people from the local community coming along to the school," said a spokesman. There were afternoon


teas and a host of stalls, games and sideshows,


manned by a team of par­


ents, pupils and staff. Among the visitors were


the Ribble Valley Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs Brian Collis, and Clitheroe Mayor and May­ oress, Coun. and Mrs Alan


Yearing. Our picture shows

people, s o that gives you an idea of to get


just how popular it is." Parents be warned though -


kitted out with very basics to play the game costs a minimum of £60. Mr David Cowgill hailed the game


as one of his best sellers, with a whole stand dedicated to the game. The judges said the standard of painting was of a very high calibre making their job very difficult. Mr Chris Hudspith, scenery maker for the game, and one of the judges, confessed his own love tor Warhammer. "It's a passion, bordering on obses­


sion. It's a hands-on thinking game which beats sitting in front of a play station all day hands down."


The winners of the three categones


were; "Sprogs" (up to 12) - Darren Sagar; "Young Guns" (12-15)-Stuart Dearnaley; "Older Unz" (16 plus) -


Gavin Hillary. Our picture shows Mr Cowgdl and


hopeful entrants viewing one of the entries in the painting competition. (140699/12/6) Pholo: Colin Horne


Fellowship members enjoy visit to Kendal


M EM B ER S of Trinity Afternoon Fellowship


visited Kendal on their annual outing. On arrival, they had one-and-a-half hours before going


to look at the Quaker Tapestry. At 2 p.m. they met again at the Quaker centre for a walk-about. First, they went into the meeting room where they had a short talk almut the original meeting house and how it expanded. The walk started around the exhibits, which many people remarked looked very beautiful. Each tapestry depicted the work of the Quakers. One was of the Irish potato famine of 1846 to 1847. Another was of the ambulance units in India. China, Greece and many more countnes. Barclays and Lloyds were, they were told, originally


Quaker banks. They were also shown a video. One lady pointed out that altogether there were 300 embroideries and the Quakers had made it possible for 4,000 people in 15 countries to collaborate in making 77 panels. Tea followed at the Methodist church, before the group


set off for the return leg of what had been a very enjoyable excursion.
