MEMORIES of sunshine were evoked at the charter night celebra tions of Ribble Valley Rotaract
Club. The presentation of a cheque for
£7,506 to Mr John Bailey, of the Multi ple Sclerosis Society, had club members reminiscing about their sponsored sum mer cycle ride along the Leeds and Liv erpool Canal which raised the money. Brought back to the harsher realities of
this winter, they were warmed by a French-themed meal in honour of their
current president, Miss Corinne Pichon-
nat, who hails from across the channel. The event was held at Whalley Abbey
and guests of honour included the presi dents of Clitheroe and Ribblesdale Rotary Clubs, Mr Barrie Lancaster and Mr John Houldsworth, District Rotary-Rotaract Liaison Chairman Mr Donald MacPher- son and Rotaract District Chairman Miss Catherine Dixon. Our photo shows Miss Pichonnat
