MEMBERS Steuart and Anita Kellington entertained Ribblesdale Camera Club with their talk "The Magic of


Morocco." This travel show had the


clear objective of conveying the essence of an adventure holiday in the interior of this little-known country. The journey started by


air but soon changed to Land Rover travel on the mountain roads, and taxis. Ultimately, wheels were exchanged for feet for trekking in the Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, many peaks of which rise to 12,000 ft.The quality of both the slides and the commentary was extremely high, with colourful pictures and a relaxed, informative expla­ nation of the way of life of


the people. The show was very pro­

Checkout shock for shopper

Farmers put their views to Archbishop


by Vicky Carlin


A TRADITIONAL Ribble Valley welcome greeted the Archbishop of York during his whis­ t le -s top tour of the


area. The Most Rev. and Rt.


Hon. Dr David Hope start­ ed his visit to the Lan­ cashire part of the Bowland Deanery with a late break­ fast at the Gisburn Country Store and Diner, where he met representatives from the farming communities in the Craven, Hodder and Ribble Valley areas to dis­ cuss the current crisis in the industry. He was joined by the Rt. Rev. David Smith, Bishop of Bradford; the Rt. Rev. Peter Vaughan, Assis­ tant Bishop of Bradford; the Ven. Malcolm Grundy, Archdeacon of Craven; Rural Officer Rev. Les Fos­ ter; the Rev. David Rhodes, former Rural Dean of Bow- land; and the newly- licensed Dean, Rev. David Mewis, the rector for Bolton-by-Bowland with Grindleton. Mr Mewis said: ”It was a


breakfast visit, Dr Hope commented: "The Church hopes to offer pastoral care and support to the farmers, as well as making our voic­ es heard in various forums. It is very important that farmers help each other and do not feel they are on their own."The Archbishop listened to the comments made by several members of the farming community regard­ ing issues such as the levels of financial help given to farmers in other countries and the low price of goods produced in other countries, compared to the UK. One farmer’s wife also spoke of how the crisis is affecting the families of the farmers, as well as the industry as a


whole. ■ The next stop was Stocks

Young soccer enthusiasts turn out for Kosovo fund


BENEVOLENT young soccer stars are teaming-up with the aim of net­ ting scores of cash for the Kosovo


Refugee Appeal Fund. Readstone United junior football club is


joining forces with Clitheroe Wolves foi a charity football match on Saturday. Boys from next season's undcr-8s, under-

of money for the fund. Readstone chairman Clive Bennett said:


"Although we are only playing football, it is our way of supporting the people of Kosovo. And if we can relieve a bit of their suffering by raising money from our foot­ ball match then our flourishing friendship


with the Wolves should be embraced by all


concerned." Wolves managers and Readstone man­


agers will also be dusting off their boots for the friendly match and it is hoped the day will end with a dads v lads game. Clitheroe chairman George Ilibbert said


"At times like this, when we see television images daily of children suffering, then club loyalty should be put on one side and we all join together to do whatever we can." The club is urging people to support the

can provide sponsorship. Any interested firms can contact Read­


stone secretary Mr David Eaves on 773521 or the Wolves' secretary Glyn Fowler on 01200 423255.
