Every token cut out makes a difference


IT’S HERE. . . COMPUTERS FOR SCHOOLS STARTS


HERE are your first tokens in our fantastic Computers for Schools


contest.. Schools throughout East


Lancashire are bidding to col­ lect the most tokens to win one of THREE computers donated by 3B Systems, of


Market Street, Nelson. A number of tokens will be


published each week in this newspaper—and there will be special bonus token editions during the next six weeks. Readers are being asked to

sheets have already been given out to participating schools. The schools which collect the most tokens will win the hi-spec computers. And to make it as fair as


possible to all schools, the number of tokens collected will be divided by the number of pupils per school, so even the smallest village school has

Casino Royale proves a winner for two charity marathon runners


TWO charity marathon runners were in the money when they swopped their training gear for glamorous evening attire to host a Casino Royale at a local


and Alison Arnfied (pic­ tured) are in training for


the London Marathon - but the 26.2-mile race is not a big enough chal­


lenge for them! Besides pounding the


streets in the capital, they aim to raise more than £10,000 for the Cancer Research Campaign in the build-up to the event. And the Casino Royale,


held in conjunction with the Stirk House Hotel, Gis- burn, proved the perfect


gamble. For it was a sell-out - 300


tickets were sold - and more than £7,000 was raised. There were gambling


tables with professional croupiers, horse racing, a cabaret act, karaoke, a char­ ity auction, complementary "funny" money for all gam­ blers and a hot and cold buf-


"It was a wonderful


evening and both of us were delighted with the support we received," said Alison. Samantha, of Mcllor


Brook, and Alison, of Lang- lio, are now hoping to attract substantial sponsorship for their efforts in the marathon in April. (M0299/1G/1)

j j a l l j n t o c e n t r e for community


THERE are moves afoot by Clitheroe’s Trinity Centre to develop the town’s civic hall as a new


community asset. In th e ir new role as a


development trust, trustees have launched a feasibility study, which will examine the flagging hall’s potential for being transformed into a su s ta in ab le community


asset. A Civic Hall working


group has been set up, com­ prised of officers from Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council, four Trinity trustees, devel­ opment officers from Lan­ cashire Co-operative Devel­ opment Agency and Com­ munity Technical Aid Lan­ cashire. Together they will all work with Trinity Cen­ tre's own Project Develop­


ment Team. The working group will


look a t the possibility of developing the building on an economically-sound


basis, possibly incorporat­ ing a cinema and arts orien­


tated projects. The group has already


held two meetings and will be seeking to timetable in a period of public consulta­ tion on future development


of the Civic Hall from April


onwards. I t is hoped th a t grants


from public, priv a te and charitable sources will be made available to the group and th a t groups and busi­ nesses will contribute to the costs of th e fe a s ibil ity study, which T r in i ty trustees say is "an invest­ ment in the future" th a t could well create new job opportunities in the Ribble


Valley. Trinity has more than 36


years' experience working with local community groups and young people. As well as providing facili­ ties for young people over the years, it has developed Ribble Valley Community T ra n sp o r t P ro je c t, the Activate drug awareness group, the Jigsaw projects for disabled people and Clitheroe Out of School Club. In addition, it sup­ ports the Skill Share and Castle Supported Housing nroiects.

i s t r s t c In court a t Blackburn, student Christopher Hordern


(19), of Croft House, Austwick, Settle, admitted driving the car in which a friend died without due care and atten­ tion. He was fined £250 with £-10 costs and eight penalty


points. There were four young


men in th e c ar and back s e a t p a s sen g e r T h om a s Wilkinson, of West End, Long Pres ton, died from severe chest injuries when a wooden rail pierced the car a f te r i t h i t th e kerb, sp u n a c ro s s th e ro ad , crashed th ro u g h a fence and hit a tree. ' The friends were return­


ing from a B u rn ley FC match when the accident h ap p en ed on th e road


I between G isburn and Paythorne. The case was heard by


stipendiary magistrate Mr Jo n ath o n Finestein, who said i t was a most tragic


one. He told the defendant:


"You were ou t with your friends and it is not suggest­ ed th a t there was any pro longed period of bad dri


I ving on your p a r t . You over-steered and your inex­ perience caused this terrible


tragedy. "I have no doubt that the


impact of this incident will be with you for the rest of your life. The grief that you mus t be feeling and the grief and intense distress th a t th e re la tiv e s of th e deceased must be feeling is very difficult to put behind


1 you. T h is in c id en t has haunted you and will haunt you for years to come, and th a t is p u n ishm en t in


itself." Mr Finestein said th a t


the court's p en a lty must reflect the offence commit­ ted, although members of the public often viewed this approach with alarm.


Town council trims budget by £2,000


THE budget of Clitheroe Town Coun- I cil has been trimmed


for 1999-2000. Its precept on council tax


payers totals £60,500, some £2,000 less than in the cur­


rent year. "We have k ep t a t ig h t


rein on expenditure, b u t increased our balances and services," said the Mayor, Coun. John McGowan. There will be continued |


spending on features such as flower tu b s and o th e r street furniture. The council is also


p u t t in g money away for contingencies and towards the Millennium. I t is again supporting the


Roefield sports complex, and has pledged £2,000 a year for th e next three


years. Coun. McGowan com­


pletes his term of office in May and Coun. Alan Year- | ing is his likely successor.
